Dubbed “Aspen,” Apricity OS 07.2016 has been declared the first-ever stable release of the popular and beautifully designed GNU/Linux distribution, which is currently distributed in two flavors, with the GNOME and Cinnamon desktop environments, both supporting 64- and 32-bit hardware architectures. Shipping with some of the latest software versions and a kernel from the Linux 4.6 series, Apricity OS 07.2016 Aspen features numerous improvements and new features, compared to previous releases. Among these, we can mention full-disk encryption support using LUKS, a more stable installer, as well as better touchpad support.
