◾ Linux Components Descriptions Notes Xarchiver File archiver Xarchiver is the default archive for lightweight desktop environment like Xfce and LXDE. The features and capabilities of this archive manager are not the same as the archive manager, but you are able to manage popular archive file formats such as ZIP, TAR and RAR INSTALLATION OF LXDE IN UBUNTU LXDE is a lightweight desktop alternative of Unity, GNOME, and KDE. It is suitable for older computers and anyone who wants a faster, lighter system. It is much simpler than Xubuntu’s XFCE. LXDE contains the basic features of open but accessible desktop space. It doesn’t have a lot of shiny graphics or unnecessary features that block you. Launch the following command to install the custom LXDE for Ubuntu and vanilla LXDE on Ubuntu system. $ sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop Here is the example of installation of Lubuntu given below. u serna me@us ernam e- vir tualb ox:~$ sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [sudo ] password for username Reading package lists...

Lubuntu comes from Ubuntu with LXDE installed automatically. LXDE Desktop Environment ◾ 227 The first screen of the LXDE is: LXDE Desktop. Current Developments Despite the team moving to LXQt development, some developers have continued to keep LXDE on GitHub, and, as of March 2021, there is a new commitment to supporting the latest version of GTK 2. From July 2019, the LXTerminal release is based on GTK 3 to avoid relying on the old VTE lib. GTK 3 Port As of May 2020, there is a GTK 3 test port built by the Arch Linux commu- nity. GTK 3 versions are already designed for the following components: LXAppearance, LXAppearance-ObConf, LXDE-common, LXDE-icon- theme, LXDM, LXhotkey, LXInput, LXLauncher, LXPanel, LXRandR, LXSession, LermSession, PCerminal, and Open. Another advantage of using GTK 3 is that the GTK 3 systems operate traditionally in Wayland. PCManFM is a popular file manager that can be used with tile window managers, so having PCManFM native Wayland is helpful for people who use Sway. 228 ◾ Linux Default Desktop • Knoppix • LXLE Linux • Peppermint OS • Raspberry Pi OS • Trisquel Mini • Arch Linux • Artix Linux • Debian • Devuan • Fedora Let’s discuss each of the following in brief. KNOPPIX It is a Debian-based operating system designed to run directly on a CD/ DVD (Live CD) or USB flash drive (Live USB), the first of its kind in any application. Knoppix was founded, and named after him, Linux mentor Klaus Knopper. It is loaded from the removable drive and then pressed into a RAM drive when you start the program. Decompression is notice- able and on the way. Although KNOPPIX is primarily used as a Live CD, it can also be installed on a hard disk as a standard application. Computers that support the launch on USB devices can download KNOPPIX from a live USB flash drive or memory card. There are two main programs: standard compact- disc (700 megabytes) and DVD (4.7 gigabytes) “Maxi” edition. The CD edition has not been updated since June 2013 until recently. From version 9.1, CD images are also released. Each major program has two language programs: English and German. KNOPPIX usually contains free and open-source software, but it also includes some proprietary software, as long as it meets certain conditions. Knoppix can easily copy files to hard drives with inaccessible applications. To quickly and safely use Linux software, Live CD can be used instead of installing another OS. LXDE Desktop Environment ◾ 229 More than 1,000 software packages are included in the CD edition, and more than 2,600 packages are included in the DVD program. Up to 9 GB can be stored on DVD in compressed format. These packages include: • LXDE, a lightweight X11 desktop environment; default from Knoppix 6.0 and later • MPlayer, with MP3 audio and Ogg Vorbis audio playback support • Internet access software, including KPPP dialing and ISDN services • Iceweasel Web Browser (based on Mozilla Firefox) • Icedove Email Client (based on Mozilla Thunderbird) • GIMP, an image fraud program • Data recovery and system optimization tools • Network analysis and management tools • LibreOffice, complete office • Terminal server Minimum requirements for Knoppix hardware: • Intel/AMD-compatible processor (486 or later) • Minimum RAM requirements: • 32 MB of text mode • Live location without modification: • 512 MB in image mode with just LXDE • 1 GB to use web browser and production software • Recommended 2 GB • Bootable Optical Drive: • DVD-ROM for current versions • CD-ROM version 7.2 and higher, or launch floppy and standard CD-ROM (IDE/ATAPI or SCSI) 230 ◾ Linux • Standard SVGA compatible graphics card • Serial or PS/2 is a standard mouse or USB mouse compatible with IMPS / 2 Download 4.72 Mb.
