MakuluLinux Cinnamon upgraded to 64-bit version

MakuluLinux Cinnamon has been upgraded to a 64-bit version. This Linux distro is based on the Debian testing branch, Jessie, and it’s known to provide stability, speed and modern desktop features.

Until now, MakuluLinux was a 32-bit distro only, but now it has an upgraded edition too. The Cinnamon flavour is quite popular because it is lightweight. It will not only be compatible with 64-bit machines, but it also integrates a new and interesting feature that allows users to save a snapshot of their current desktop, package it and install it on another computer. MakuluLinux is already very comfortable for new users. It’s based on Debian, and it directly competes with Linux Mint.

The developer has posted, “This release is special for so many reasons. It is sure to mark a major milestone, not just for Makulu, but considering what is inside, the whole of the Linux world. Never before has Linux offered such options as we have done in this release, and what is more, we made it so easy to use. Makulu now offers a built-in constructor tool that lets you quickly and easily create a 100 per cent snapshot of your LIVE system as it is, and save it into an ISO that can be then re-installed on a new computer. It comes complete with a live mode, installer and full EFI/Secure boot.”

As per the changelog, the Linux kernel is now at version 3.16, the Cinnamon desktop environment has been upgraded to version 2.2.16, EFI support has been integrated, and firewall and antivirus applications have also been added.
