Shipping a few days after the release of SparkyLinux 4.7 “Tyche” stable operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch,” the SparkyLinux 5-dev20171120 development build includes up-to-date packages based on the repositories of the upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system. Apart from rebasing the operating system on the latest Debian Testing repos as of November 20, 2017, the new SparkyLinux 5 development images are the first to enable full disk encryption by default in the Calamares graphical installer, as you can see from the screenshots attached at the end of the article.
