The last major release, [Linux Lite 6.2](https://itsfoss.com/linux-lite-6-2-release/) saw the inclusion of various user interface tweaks/bug fixes, and now another release is here that also has various improvements on offer. Let me take you through the Linux Lite 6.4 release. ## 🆕 Linux Lite 6.4: What's New? ![a screenshot of the desktop on linux lite 6.4](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Linux_Lite_6.4.png) Based on **[Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/02/24/ubuntu-22-04-2-lts-released/?ref=itsfoss.com)**, this release has some interesting new additions, here are the highlights that you should know about: - **SystemD reporting via Lite System Report** - **ZSTD Compression** - **Better WebP Support** - **Updated Thunderbird** - **Xfce 4.18** ### SystemD reporting via Lite System Report ![a screenshot of the systemd report on linux lite 6.4](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Linux_Lite_6.4_2.png) As you know that **systemd is one of the basic building blocks of a Linux system** that starts the boot procedure for the rest of the system. Linux Lite 6.4 has bought about a dedicated reporting option for systemd errors. This will make it easy to pinpoint booting and general system issues via the Lite System Report tool. ### ZSTD Compression The complete Lite app suite (their in-house apps) has been repackaged using ZSTD compression for faster decompression and better compression, resulting in a **lighter storage footprint**. For example: Now the Lite Themes app is **76.8 MB** instead of the more hefty **91.2 MB**. Systems with slower processors will benefit a great deal due to the inclusion of this, resulting in significantly faster application update times. ### Better WebP Support ![a screenshot of the webp thumbnail support on linux lite 6.4](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Linux_Lite_6.4_3.png) The Thunar file manager has been **updated to** **4.16.10** and can now show thumbnails for WebP files correctly, instead of a generic placeholder image. This should make it easy for you to go through your WebP files, without the need to open them one-by-one. ### Updated Thunderbird ![a screenshot of thunderbird 102 running on linux lite 6.4](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Linux_Lite_6.4_4.png) Linux Lite 6.4 **features Thunderbird 102** with its redesigned icons, the central spaces' toolbar, new address book, import/export wizard, matrix chat support and more.
