14 DAY TRIAL // The developers of the Simplicity Linux computer operating system have had the great pleasure of announcing the release and immediate availability for download of Simplicity Linux 16.01.
Simplicity Linux is an open-source GNU/Linux distribution based on the LXPup OS and built around the lightweight LXDE desktop environment. The latest release, Simplicity Linux 16.01, comes as Desktop and Netbook flavors and includes the latest version of the Google Chrome web browser with the DotVPN add-on for extra privacy protection, along with the LastPass and AdBlock extensions.
"For those Simplicity Linux virgins, Netbook Edition is our cutdown version using web based software rather than installed software which means you can keep all your data and satisfy all your computing needs in the cloud. Cloud computing FTW! On the other hand, we have Desktop Edition which is a lot heavier but comes pre-installed with great software like Audacity, LibreOffice and GIMP," reads the release notes.
