Synced with the Debian Testing repos, where the development of the upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 11 ???Bullseye??? operating system series takes place, as of August 14th, 2020, the SparkyLinux 2020.08 release is here fully patched against the latest security threats and powered by the Linux 5.7.10 kernel. The biggest news for this release is the fact that the entire system is now using the latest GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 10 as default system installer, which should translate to some overall performance improvements. The GCC 9 packages are no longer part of the system.
