Being based on the recently released Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, Runtu 16.04.2 Xfce Edition inherits all of its goodies, including the Linux 4.8 kernel that was ported from the more recent Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) release, as well as a newer graphics stack powered by X.Org Server 1.18.4, and the latest software versions. The default desktop environment used for Runtu 16.04.2 Xfce Edition is, as expected, Xfce 4.12, which offers users a traditional layout with a single panel located at the bottom of the screen instead of on top like many other Xfce-based GNU/Linux distribution offers to their users.
