Wrishiraj Kaushik had the pleasure of announcing today, March 23, the immediate availability for download of the final release of his awesome SuperX 3.0 Linux operating system for computers. This major version includes a great number of features, updated applications, new artwork, and lots of under-the-hood improvements.

Dubbed Grace, SuperX 3.0 is a distribution based on the current LTS (Long Term Support) release of the well-known Kubuntu Linux operating system, it’s powered by Linux kernel 3.13.0, and built around the KDE Application 4.13.3 desktop environment, which includes all the apps that KDE fans adore, a flat theme with bright contrasting colors.

“This version is named in honor of the great computer scientist – Grace Hopper,” says Wrishiraj Kaushik, lead developer of SuperX. “We’ve tried to make Grace a beautiful OS. Grace features a beautiful startup splash that changes its background to whatever the user’s wallpaper is, giving SuperX a really smooth transition from the splash screen to the desktop.”

New artwork, updated applications, and many other goodies

SuperX 3.0 includes the latest available versions of the Mozilla Firefox and Chromium web browsers, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, LibreOffice office suite, GIMP image editor, Filezilla file transfer client, VLC Media Player video player, Musique music player, Minitube YouTube downloader, OpenShot video editor, and Telegram messaging client.
