Based on the latest Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS operating system, Freespire 5.0 is here to respond to users’ accusations of a bloated system. Freespire doesn’t aim to become a bloatware, so Freespire 5.0 only ships with the best-of-breed apps and packages and nothing else. Among these, we can mention the KDE Plasma 5.12.9 LTS desktop environment, Chromium 77 web browser, Calligra office suite, Amarok music player, DragonPlayer video player, KolourPaint paint software, Kpatience and DreamChess games, Ice 6.0.4 browser installer, as well as Synaptic Package Manager, Boot Repair, and Kamerka.
