Based on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) operating system, Linux Lite 5.0 (codename Emerald) is here with a lot of goodies for fans of this lightweight GNU/Linux distribution. Highlights include out-of-the-box UEFI Secure Boot support, a new ???Integrity Check??? feature during live boot to ensure your PC is in good state, a new update notifier that checks for updates twice per day, and no hidden telemetry. The highly configurable FireWallD firewall has been included as well in this release to replace GUFW, but it isn’t enabled by default.
