SparkyLinux 5.0 Rolling Released with LXQt, Xfce & MATE ISOs, Based on Debian 10

Dubbed Nibiru, SparkyLinux 5.0 Rolling is based on the Debian Testing repositories, which, in time, will become Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster.” Therefore, users should expect to get a test of the newer packages that are available in Debian Testing when installing the SparkyLinux 5.0 operating system on their personal computers. It comes in five editions, three of which are Live images using the Xfce, MATE, and LXQt desktop environments. The other two are the MinimalGUI, which uses the lightweight Openbox window manager, and MinimalCLI, a text-based variant that doesn’t ship with a graphical interface and can be used to build your own SparkyLinux OS.
