LinuxAndUbuntu Distro Review Of PCLinuxOS

I have reviewed a very good Linux distribution that I first used full-time as opposed to just playing around with it 8 years ago. You could say that I was suckled on it so to speak. What attracted me to PCLinuxOS distribution was mainly how simple to use it was. They released a new ISO to download in November so I decided to give this release a go. Quick Overview PCLinuxOS PCLinuxOS is a rolling-release distribution, meaning, theoretically, you can continue to update your system wi

antiX A Fast And Lightweight Linux Distribution

antiX is a fast and lightweight Linux distribution. It is based on Debian stable. antiX is a very different distro, it isn’t like Debian or Ubuntu. It doesn’t use systemd. Actually, most Linux distros are using systemd to manage the system processes, but antiX doesn’t like systemd. I don’t have any problem with systemd, but time after analyzing systemd, I realized that it is not the best way to replace SysVinit, because it doesn’t follow the UNIX philosophy. I think that systemd is very compl

Linux Mint Releases Last KDE Edition "Sylvia"

Mint fans rejoice as the latest version of Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia with the KDE desktop is available to download on Linux Mint’s official website.

He was quoted ‘In continuation with what’s been done in the past, Linux Mint 18.3 will feature a KDE edition, but it will be the last relea

LinuxAndUbuntu Distro Review Of Nitrux Linux

Nitrux Linux Distribution At first redden, this specific Linux appropriation appears to be a greater amount of analysis than whatever else — to indicate how much the KDE desktop can be changed to take after any semblance of the Elementary OS or macOS desktops. At its heart, in any case, it’s considerably more than that. As a matter of fact, Nitrux makes utilization of snap bundles; so introducing programming is taken care of a bit uniquely in contrast to the standard. Despite the fac

KDE Neon Complete Distro Review

It’s no secret to anyone: KDE and its latest implementation, Plasma 5, have been my favorite applications and desktop suite for quite some time now. I started GNU / Linux with Gnome 2 that brought Ubuntu Feisty Fawn but quickly jumped to that unknown ocean, full of strange words with the letter K in them, called Kubuntu. Coming and going, distros and more distros, until you end up trapped by the Chakra magic and its unique environment. As much as I have tried to change this fact in s
