14 DAY TRIAL // Some of you noticed that the ROSA company has silently pushed the ROSA Desktop Fresh R5 GNOME computer operating system onto its servers last week without making a public statement about what new features and improvements introduced in the refreshed distribution.
At our users’ request, we’ve downloaded the ISO image to see what’s new and generate an in-depth screenshot tour for their viewing pleasure. Therefore, without further ado, we’ve noticed that ROSA Desktop Fresh R5 GNOME is now powered by Linux kernel 3.14.33 and built around the GNOME 3.12.2 desktop environment.
Among the pre-installed applications, we can mention ROSA Media Player 1.6.11-3 multimedia player, LibreOffice 4.3.5 office suite, Mozilla Firefox 36.0.1 web browser, Rpmdrake 5.26.11 package manager, Shotwell 0.20.2 image viewer and organizer, and Audacious 3.4.3 music player.
Many of GNOME’s apps and core components are installed
Additionally, the EasyTAG 2.2.4 audio tagging tool, ROSA Image Writer, Transmission 2.81 BitTorrent client, and GNOME Tweak Tool utility are included as well in the ROSA Desktop Fresh R5 GNOME distribution. Numerous GNOME apps and components have also been installed in the operating system, which we have to admit that looks really nice.
Among these, we can mention GNOME Music, Brasero, Cheese, GNOME Chess, GNOME Clocks, Empathy, Disks, Evolution, Nautilus, GNOME Documents, Evince, Eye of GNOME, Bijiben, GNOME Photos, Orca, Shotwell, Gedit, as well as all the GNOME games.
You can download ROSA Desktop Fresh R5 GNOME right now from Softpedia. The distribution is available for download as Live DVD ISO images designed to be installed on both 64- and 32-bit computers. Other ROSA Desktop Fresh editions are available for download on our dedicated Linux homepage.
