Is FPL Affiliated with Ubuntu or Xubuntu or Linux Mint?
No, we are not affiliated in any way, as such any technical issues or support questions must/should be directed at us and not (X)Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
What is Linux?
Let us quote Linux.com as their answer is short and concise. “Just like Windows, iOS, and Mac OS, Linux is an operating system. In fact, one of the most popular platforms on the planet, Android, is powered by the Linux operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply, the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. Without the operating system (OS), the software wouldn’t function.”
What desktop environment does FPL use?
We have chosen Xfce4 as the main desktop environment for our operating system, and there is a number of reasons for that. Xfce4 has a minimal memory and processor footprint, meaning it uses less resources. Most of the image editors today uses a lot of resources, especially on bigger edits, add some masking and retouch and the editor will pull more and more resources so it’s a nobrainer for us that we should use Xfce4. We may open for other desktop environments in the future, but right now we are xfce all the way. Xfce4 is also very, very customizable, more so than what many Linux users seem to think. Xfce4 is not an old un-modern Linux relic.
