While Black Lab Linux 8.0 “Onyx” did not arrive on the 1st of November, as initially planned, the developers kept their word and published the download links on December 15, as promised, and you can grab the Live ISO images with GNOME, KDE, Unity, Xfce, LXDE, and MATE desktop environments right now through our website. The OS is based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, ships with Linux kernel 4.4 LTS, and offers various modern functionalities, such as full UEFI and exFAT support, Google Drive integration, systemd and Upstart support, along with the latest versions for the pre-installed applications.
