Prominent new features of SparkyLinux 4.5 include support for the CDE (Common Desktop Environment) and DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment) desktop environments, which users will be able to install via the MinimalGUI and MinimalCLI editions by using the APTus tool, as well as Midori as default web browser in MinimalGUI edition. Midori replaces Netsurf which didn’t work well with the HTTPS protocol, which is now being used for all SparkyLinux pages, including the blog, wiki, and forum. Another interesting change implemented in the SparkyLinux 4.5 release is support for exFAT filesystems, but it doesn’t mention if there’s a read/write implementation.
