Being based on the excellent and lightweight LXPup GNU/Linux distribution, and built around the LXDE desktop environment, Simplicity Linux 16.04 is powered by a kernel from the 4.0 series (Linux 4.0.4) on the Desktop and Mini editions, and Linux kernel 4.4.5 LTS on the X flavor, which is the experimental branch of the OS, where all the bleeding-edge stuff happens before it lands in the more stable Desktop and Mini editions.
