The developers of the Debian-based Robolinux computer operating system have announced the release of Robolinux 8.3 (Raptor) Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, and LXDE editions, as well as the Robolinux Multimedia Bonanza.

According to the Robolinux developers, during the last few weeks, the team has run a poll to get the user pulse about the missing applications from the Robolinux Raptor distribution. Therefore, today they are proud to introduce ten of the most requested applications by Robolinux users in the newly released Robolinux 8.3 "Raptor" computer operating system.

"As the Christmas and holiday season was approaching Robolinux polled its user base extensively asking, 'What hot new apps do you want in Robolinux Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce & LXDE Raptors?'" said the Robolinux developers. "An overwhelming number of users responded with "We want more multimedia and privacy apps in Robolinux" [...]  So we listened carefully and delivered just in time for Christmas."
