ExTiX 16.1 OS Is Based on Ubuntu 15.10, Ships with Linux Kernel 4.4 LTS and LXQt 0.10.0

ExTiX 16.1, which is still dubbed “The Ultimate Linux System,” has been rebased on the Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) operating system and boasts the recently released and long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel, which has been tweaked by the developer with additional drivers and patches.

However, ExTiX 16.1 also borrows various elements from the Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 (Jessie) operating system, but instead of using Ubuntu’s Unity interface, the developer added the next-generation LXQt 0.10.0 desktop environment, thus making the entire OS more flexible and super lightweight.
