Hey guys, today we have released Alpha 1 of Freespire 4.0.0 based on Ubuntu 18.04.

distro.ibiblio.org/blacklab/pre-release/freespire-4-a1-x64.iso
distro.ibiblio.org/blacklab/pre-release/freespire-4-a1-x64.iso.md5
distro.ibiblio.org/blacklab/pre-release/freespire-4-a1-x64.iso.sha256

This is a test build and NOT MEANT FOR USE ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

This is a first look and NOTHING is set in stone yet. Being an Alpha its very rudimentary and may break on you. Some things may work and other things may not. When filing bugs for this release make sure you let us know its 4.0 Alpha 1 and make sure you are descriptive with the type of hardware you have and what the problem is.

Thanks

Downloaded this today and installed it on my Thinkpad X131e. Actually running great and you make XFCE look so good that I have not done ANY customizing. I use this machine at work to use during breaks etc. Not a production machine but useful anyway. Will keep Freespire on it and continue to help test it. Can't wait for Linspire to be based on Ubuntu 18.04! Was actually surprised to see Freespire XFCE. Didn't I read somewhere that it was going to be KDE only?

The problem is with KDE on 18.04 it's acting flakey

That you did!!!!!! I actually prefer XFCE but was going to help test this even if it was KDE ( which is my second DE favorite).
