Linux Lite 5.0 发布，带有 UEFI 支持和其他重大改进
Linux Lite 是[适合 Windows 用户的最佳 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/)之一。 不仅限于此，它还是最受欢迎的[轻量级 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/)之一。


基于 Ubuntu 18.04 的 Linux Lite 4.x 系列虽然不错，但没有 [UEFI 支持](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI)。 但是现在基于 [Ubuntu 20.04](https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-20-04-release-features/) 的 Linux Lite 5.0 终于来了，我很高兴看到这些变化！


在本文中，我们将介绍 Linux Lite 5.0 的新增功能。


### Linux Lite 5.0：关键变更


![](/data/attachment/album/202006/06/065508vx37wksyz2y8hys3.jpg)


即使 Linux Lite 从 2.x 就开始支持 UEFI，但他们总是默认发布非 UEFI 的。


但是，在 Linux Lite 5.0 中，他们终于增加了开箱即用的 [UEFI](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI) 默认支持以及许多重大改进。让我们看看发生了什么变化：


#### UEFI 支持


Linux Lite 5.0 支持开箱即用的 UEFI。但是，他们建议禁用[安全启动](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_restriction#Secure_boot)，即使该功能可以工作。

你可以看看他们的[论坛文章](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/)，以了解更多信息。此外，你还可以在新的内置**帮助手册**中找到有关此的更多信息。


#### 基于 Ubuntu 的发行版，没有隐藏的遥测


如果你正在寻找基于 Ubuntu 的 Linux 发行版，且没有任何隐藏的遥测功能，那么 Linux Lite 5.0 似乎是理想的选择。


在[发布公告](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-5-0-final-released/)中，他们在变更日志中提到了它，并提供了截图：

#### GUFW 防火墙替换为 firewalld


你可能已经读过[在 Linux 上使用 GUFW 设置防火墙](https://itsfoss.com/set-up-firewall-gufw/)，但从 Linux Lite 5.0 开始，它已由 [firewalld](https://firewalld.org/) 取代。


![](/data/attachment/album/202006/06/065749gsxv3tszjx7zj749.jpg)


似乎 [GUFW](http://gufw.org/) 不能像 firewalld 那样配置。因此，他们决定替换它。


默认情况下，它是禁用的。但是，你可以按照**帮助手册**中的教程选择启用它。


#### 新的 Whisker 菜单


![](/data/attachment/album/202006/06/065856wwavizt4k7goj9wv.jpg)


[Whisker 菜单](https://gottcode.org/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/)已更新至最新可用的软件包（v2.4.4）。 除了更新之外，你还可以注意到**安装更新**现在被固定在收藏夹。


#### HiDPI 设置


![](/data/attachment/album/202006/06/065949ajarb1c0j5ycegqa.png)


如果需要，你会发现从**设置菜单**中设置 HiDPI 非常容易。


#### 已添加 XFCE 屏幕保护程序


在 Linux Lite 5.0 中，你还将注意到添加了 [XFCE 屏幕保护程序](https://docs.xfce.org/apps/screensaver/start)，默认情况下它处于禁用状态。


![](/data/attachment/album/202006/06/070055c7wd3w31tpat3pt2.jpg)


这是一个简单的补充，对于一直想要屏幕保护程序并能够对其进行调整的用户而言，这将很有用。


### 其他重要改进


除了上面提到的关键要点外，还有其他一些改进对于 Linux Lite 5.0 用户而言应该是很方便的。我在这里列出其中一些：


* [Mousepad](https://salsa.debian.org/xfce-team/apps/mousepad) 替换 [Leafpad](https://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/)
* 新的更新通知
* 在即时启动时进行完整性检查
* 对**帮助手册**的重大改进
* Lite 软件中用 Chrome 取代了 Chromium
* 新的布局选项
* Lite 欢迎页面和 Lite 用户管理器现在更新到 GTK3 和 Python3。
* 欢迎页面添加了新的选择：**选择深色或浅色主题、UEFI 和安全启动、反馈**
* 改进的 Lite 小部件


如果你想进一步了解更改，可以在其[官方公告](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-5-0-final-released/)中找到详细的更改列表。


### 总结


我认为 Linux Lite 5.0 比以往任何时候要好，并且随着最近新增的功能，对于许多新 Linux 用户来说，它也是一个绝佳的选择。

OK
Linux Lite is one of the [best Linux distributions suitable for Windows users](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/). Not just limited to that, it’s also one of the most preferred [lightweight Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/) available.

Now that Linux Lite 5.0 has finally arrived based on [Ubuntu 20.04](https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-20-04-release-features/) and I’m excited to see the changes!

In this article, we’ll take a look at what’s new in Linux Lite 5.0.

## Linux Lite 5.0: Key Changes

![Linux Lite 5](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/linux-lite-5.jpg)

Even though Linux Lite supports UEFI since series 2.x, they always had their default release non-UEFI.

But, with Linux Lite 5.0, they have finally added the support for [UEFI](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI) out-of-the-box for the default release along with numerous significant improvements. Let’s take a brief look at what has changed:

### UEFI Support

Linux Lite 5.0 supports UEFI out-of-the-box. However, they recommend disabling the [Secure Boot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_restriction#Secure_boot) feature even though it should work with that.

![Linux Lite Uefi](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/linux-lite-uefi.png)

You can take a look at one of their [forum threads](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/uefi-secure-boot/) to understand more about it. Not to mention, you can also find more information about it in the new inbuilt **Help Manual**.

### Ubuntu-based distro with no hidden telemetry

If you were looking for a Linux distribution that’s based on Ubuntu but without any hidden telemetry, Linux Lite 5.0 seems to be the perfect option.

In the [release announcement](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-5-0-final-released/), they mentioned it in the changelog along with a screenshot that you can see here:

### GUFW Firewall replaced by firewallId

You might have read about [setting up a firewall using GUFW on Linux](https://itsfoss.com/set-up-firewall-gufw/) but starting with Linux Lite 5.0, it has been replaced by [firewallId](https://firewalld.org/).

![Linux Lite 5 Firewall](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/linux-lite-5-firewall.jpg)

It seems that [GUFW](http://gufw.org/) isn’t as configurable as firewallId. Hence, they decided to replace it.

By default, it is disabled. But, you can choose to enable it by following one of the tutorials in the **Help Manual**.

### Latest Whisker Menu

![Whisker Menu Linux Lite](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/whisker-menu-linux-lite.jpg)

[Whisker Menu](https://gottcode.org/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/) has been updated to **v2.4.2**. In addition to the update, you can also notice that “**Install Updates**” is now pinned to the favorites section.

### HiDPI Settings

![Linux Lite 5 Hidpi](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/linux-lite-5-hidpi.png)

You will find it very easy to utilize the HiDPI settings from the **Settings menu** if you need it.

### XFCE Screensaver Added

With Linux Lite 5.0, you will also notice the addition of [XFCE screensaver](https://docs.xfce.org/apps/screensaver/start) program — which is disabled by default.

![Linux Lite 5 Screensaver](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/linux-lite-5-screensaver.jpg)

It’s a simple addition that should be useful for users who always wanted a screensaver app and the ability to tweak it.

## Other Important Improvements

In addition to the key highlights mentioned above, there are several other changes that should come in handy for Linux Lite 5.0 users. I’ve listed some of them here:

[Mousepad](https://salsa.debian.org/xfce-team/apps/mousepad)replaces[Leafpad](https://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/)- New update notification
- Integrity Check during live boot
- Major improvements to the
**Help Manual** - Chrome has replaced Chromium in Lite Software
- New Logout options
- Lite Welcome screen and Lite User Manager now updated to GTK3 and Python3.
- New options added to the Welcome screen:
**Select Dark or Light Theme, UEFI & Secure Boot, Feedback** - Improved Lite Widget

You can find a list of detailed changes in their [official announcement post](https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-5-0-final-released/) if you want to explore more about it.

## Wrapping Up

I think Linux Lite 5.0 is better than ever and with all the recent additions it’s also going to be a fantastic option for a lot of new Linux users.
