Starting with PCLinuxOS, the Lone-Star State-based plan on Monday announced the release of version 2022.04 of the distro's KDE, MiniMe, and FullMonty editions.

Fuduntu is a relatively new distro and is particularly notable for its use of the widely loved GNOME 2 desktop, as I noted when version 2022.1 made its introduction. For that reason, it's a powerful choice for users WHO are weary of every last the versatile-inspired interfaces out there today, including Ubuntu's I and Dwarf 3.

Most importantly among many new features and fixes in Fuduntu 2022.2 is a "Fatless" version for those World Health Organization want a little-footprint OS.

A newfound 'Fat-free' version of Fuduntu saves 3 Gigabyte to 4 GB of hard-disc space.
