Hailing from France, the recent release of Voyager Live 24.10, which was made available yesterday, is built on the Ubuntu 24.10 platform. While the name suggests its base, it doesn’t mention that this distribution combines GNOME and Xfce (specifically versions 47 and 4.19) into a "light, fast, modern, fluid, secure and efficient" hybrid setup designed for both PC and tablet users. The update brings a wealth of changes, and in addition to those from Ubuntu 24.10, Voyager Live 24.10 introduces numerous improvements of its own.
Features and Software
Voyager Live 24.10 operates on the Linux kernel version 6.11 and includes a unique gaming profile within Xfce. Users can enjoy various themes, wallpapers, icons, and customizable Conky widgets along with a robust selection of software. Included in this software package are Firefox, Thunderbird, GIMP, LibreOffice, Nautilus, VLC, and several more. Additionally, many system components have been updated, such as xfdesktop (4.19.3), xorg-server (21.1.13), mesa (24.2.3), gtk (4.16.2), alsa-lib (1.2.12), bash (5.2.32), and others.
Why Choose Voyager Live 24.10?
If you're considering why this distro might be right for you, Voyager Live 24.10 stands out as a solid alternative to Linux Mint, providing an excellent out-of-the-box experience. It's a great option for those who prefer Ubuntu without Snap and appreciate the additional features. Its key advantages, like having DEB packages readily available in the package manager and a rich selection of pre-installed GNOME extensions, are just a glimpse of what it offers.
