Launched last year on the last day of July, the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 release was dubbed “Erik” and based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 “Jessie” operating system. It shipped with the long-term supported Linux 4.4.16 LTS kernel series and the GNOME 3.20.2 desktop environment using the GNOME Shell 3.20.3 interface by default. But, as all good things must come to an end, the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 operating system will no longer receive security patches and software updates after March 31. Therefore, if you’re using this release of Parsix GNU/Linux, you are urged to upgrade to the recently released Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 “Nev” as soon as possible.
