wattOS is a fast desktop Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Using the lightweight Openbox window manager as its default user interface, the distribution strives to be as energy-efficient as possible so that it can be used on low-specification and recycled computers.
Ronald Ropp has announced a new release of the low energy wattOS distribution. The wattOS project uses Ubuntu as a base and ships a collection of software suitable for old and low-end hardware. The new version, wattOS R10, is based on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and ships with the LXDE desktop. The default music player has been changed to Lollypop and the Gufw application has been included for working with the system firewall. "The wattOS team is pleased to announce the release of the newest version of wattOS, Release 10 (also known as R10). Built on the latest version of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS for long-term support and stability. The Microwatt edition will not be released until a later date (look to the forums for details). wattOS R10 LXDE 32-bit and 64-bit are available now. Whats new? A continued focus to try and provide a clean basic desktop with a few key applications that you can then add whatever tools you like for a modern clean desktop without the clutter.
