Simplicity Linux is a Puppy Linux derivative with LXDE as the default desktop environment. It comes in four editions: Obsidian, Netbook, Desktop and Media. The Netbook edition features cloud-based software, the Desktop flavour offers a collection of general-purpose software, and the Media variant is designed to provide "lounge" PC users with easy access to their media.

David Purse has announced the availability of the alpha release of Simplicity Linux 14.10, a lightweight Puppy-based distribution with LXDE as the preferred desktop environment: "After a bit of a delay, the Simplicity Linux 14.10 Netbook and Desktop alphas are now available for download. All versions of Simplicity Linux 14.10 alpha are using the 3.15.4 kernel and are based on Puppy Slacko 5.9.3. As usual, Netbook is aimed at users who tend to do things online, but still want a pretty and professional looking desktop. It runs LXDE as the window manager, has Wbar as a dock, and comes complete with Firefox and TOR browser. Desktop 14.10 alpha is aimed at users who want a full-featured desktop Linux. It comes complete with LibreOffice, WINE, Java, VLC and a host of other applications. As with Netbook, it also comes with Firefox and TOR browser built in." Here is the brief release announcement.
