PCLinuxOS 2014.05, a free Linux distribution aimed at desktop computers and laptops and relying on KDE, has just received its regular update, this time for the month of May.

PCLinuxOS comes with numerous flavors, but the default is actually KDE. The developers also make a few other versions, like KDE MiniMe, LXDE, or FullMonty, but this is the main one downloaded by most of the users.

Nothing noteworthy has happened with PCLinuxOS in the month that passed since the previous update, with a small exception. The distribution is now based on Linux kernel 3.12.18, which is a small improvement. KDE 4.12.3 is still the default desktop environment, but the developers are already probably considering the next iteration of KDE.

The system requirements for this interesting OS are quite low, if you want to give it a try. Users will need a modern Intel or AMD processor (preferably for 32-bit), 1 GB or more RAM memory (recommended 4 GB+), 10 GB or more HDD space, and NVIDIA, ATI HD 4000, or better graphics card to enjoy the 3D desktop and all the effects.

More details about this Linux distribution can be found in the official changelog. You can download PCLinuxOS 2014.05 right now from Softpedia.
