BackSlash Linux Olaf is the third major and the current release of BackSlash Linux.
It was published on 9 May 2017 and introduced 150+ new features over the last versions of BackSlash Linux.
It was based on Ubuntu 16.04 and ran BackSlash Shell - a customised KDE Desktop.
Due to its heavily modified beautiful Desktop, it gained much attention and received much praise than its earlier versions.
This version of BackSlash Linux removed some of the applications to cut down the ISO size and also brought many refinements.
Google Chrome was replaced by the Open-Source Chromium and Wine was upgraded to version 2.0.1.

Applications like Skype, Firewall, Modem Manager, DVD Burner, Dropbox, Empathy IM, GNOME Boxes, TeamViewer, Deluge and Dictionary which were present in earlier version of BackSlash Linux were dropped in this version.
Albert Search Companion was replaced by KRunner Search.
LibreOffice lost its position and WPS Office was back in the BackSlash Linux Series by the release of Olaf.

Thunderbird was also included in this version for better email experience and the simple idea was to include the best apps available instead of KDE-specific apps.
This is the reason we see GNOME apps like Calendar, Disks, and Maps in this release.

BackSlash Linux Olaf also introduced a full-screen "AppLauncher" which resembled the "Launchpad" of macOS which was a fork of the discontinued application, "Slingshot".

Reviewing BackSlash Linux Olaf, Souris from ProCambodian, said "For me I think this is the best build distro, it feels more complete and you don’t need much time to config it, cause’ everything is working out of the box."
