14 DAY TRIAL // The Q4OS development team informs Softpedia about the general availability of a new maintenance update to their latest Q4OS 3 "Centaurus" stable LTS operating system series.
Based on the latest Debian GNU/Linux 10.2 "Buster" operating system, the Q4OS 3.10 release appears to bring important changes for both the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) and KDE Plasma desktop environments, which they're now much more independent on each other as Plasma no longer requires Trinity to be present.
This change alone could significantly reduce the size of the KDE Plasma installation media in future releases. Q4OS 3.10 also introduces a dedicated hardware reporting tool that's available on both the KDE Plasma and Trinity Desktop Environment desktops, and improves the screen scaling tool for Trinity desktop.
Plasma Debonaire improvements, updated components
Also improved in the Q4OS 3.10 release is the Plasma Debonaire theme for the KDE Plasma desktop environment, which has been polished to look a bit darker. Apart from the aforementioned changes, Q4OS 3.10 brings updates to numerous core components and apps from the Debian Buster repositories, as well as many other tweaks, bug fixes, and security patches.
The Q4OS 3.10 release is now available to download for 32-bit and 64-bit systems right now through our free software portal. However, these images are targeted at those who want to deploy the operating system on new computers as existing Q4OS 3 users can receive all the updates and improvements via a regular system update.
The Q4OS 3 "Centaurus" series is an LTS (Long Term Support) release that will receive software updates and security patches for at least five years. The primary aim of the Q4OS 3.10 release is to provide stability, reliability, and security to existing users, but also an up-to-date installation media to those who want to give Q4OS a test drive.
