Comes with tons of desktops: Budgie, Enlightenment, JWM, where Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Openbox, Xfce και CLI δηλαδή υποστηρίζει διαχείριση command line όπως και κάθε άλλο Linux. Για desktop manager η διανομή χρησιμοποιεί τον LightDM.
SparkyLinux is test based version of Debian GNU/Linux. The Testing version of Debian includes all packages (preletterta) which are not yet considered stable enough and still need to be checked.
This version is not intended for use on servers or any computer that provides critical services. However, many are using it because the programs it contains are more recent.
As you can see from the above, SparkyLinux is a rolling distribution that contains all the latest packages software and kernels. As a rolling distribution, there is no need to reinstall as it will update itself. So the distribution, as long as it does not show any instability due to the wrong actions of usually novice users, will not need another installation, and will always be updated to the latest version.
The Polish developers of the project recently announced the new edition SparkyLinux 4.5 “Tyche” released in LXDE, LXQt, KDE, MATE and Xfce flavors.
The new release comes with Linux kernel 4.8.7 as default while 4.8.12-sparky is already available in the Sparky 'unstable' repo. Added support for 'exfat' file systems and comes with updated applications: Firefox 45.5.0 ESR and Firefox 50.0.2 are available in the repos, Icedove 45.4 and Thunderbird 45.5.1 are available in the repos, along with LibreOffice 5.2.3-rc1.
