Xebian – A Blend of Debian and Goodness of Xfce [Review]
|
||||
======
|
||||
Here’s a quick review of the nice and sleek Xebian Linux Distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian is an Xfce desktop environment based Linux distribution based on Debian Unstable (sid) branch. This Linux Distribution brings a basic Xfce desktop with Debian without configuration changes and additional packages. Hence, you get a vanilla experience out of the box without worrying much about installing Debian and Xfce.
|
||||
|
||||
With that said, here’s a quick review of Xebian if you want to try it out.
|
||||
|
||||
### Xebian Review
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Debian Installation can be tricky considering a variety of ISO available (mini, free, non-free and all that). After all, it is a truly “Universal Operating System”. But with Xebian, it’s effortless because it comes with only one 64-bit ISO file, which gives you Debian sid and Xfce. Xebian uses Debian’s native installer and is fairly straightforward to install this distribution in your physical system or a virtual machine.
|
||||
|
||||
During my test, the installation went fine, and no issues were reported. Installation took around 4 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Look and Feel
|
||||
|
||||
After installing, you get a nice login screen with Xebian default wallpaper when you first boot the system. The login screen is the standard default Xfce desktop login screen.
|
||||
|
||||
![Xebian Logn Screen][1]
|
||||
|
||||
First and foremost, the desktop is very lightweight and has a clean look with Xfce. Xebian gives exactly the stock version of Xfce with Debian. So, the only difference is the default wallpaper which looks nice and the default Numix theme (dark). The Adwaita and Gerybird themes are also present for those who like a more legacy look.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, the top panel has the Whisker Menu on the right and the standard system tray with volume controls, battery indication, network/Wi-Fi and date/time.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Applications
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian packages all the Xfce native applications and does not add anything extra. When you install it, you should already have a stable working desktop with the following applications pre-loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
* Thunar File Manager
|
||||
* Ristretto Image Viewer
|
||||
* Mousepad Text Editor
|
||||
* Catfish File Search
|
||||
* XFCE Terminal
|
||||
* Firefox
|
||||
* Synaptic Package Manager
|
||||
* GParted for partitioning
|
||||
* System Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Other than that, if you need any additional applications, you can easily install them using the Synaptic Package Manager. And tweaking the software source is easy with the built-in “Software and Sources” application.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Xfce 4.16][2] is the official version which the stable at the moment alongside its native applications. At its core, it is based on Debian Unstable “sid” which features Debian 12 “bookworm” release path as of writing this. And it is based on the latest [Linux Kernel 5.17][3] being a rolling release. The Xfce 4.18 is still far away from getting a final release.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, if you need a moderate image editor, graphics software and Office suite (such as LibreOffice) – you need to install them manually. They are not part of the ISO file.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let’s take a look at the performance.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Performance of Xebian
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian is lightweight and perfect for older hardware, thanks to Debian. I tested the performance in two phases. The ideal phase where I kept the system idle for some time consumes about 710 MB of memory, and the CPU is at, on average 2%. Most of the idle state resources are consumed by the Xfce4-desktop and Xfce Window manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, I tested it in the heavy usage phase. I tried Xebian with one instance of File Manager, Text editor, terminal, and Firefox web browser in this workload.
|
||||
|
||||
With this workload, Xebian consumes 1.2 GB of memory, 2% to 3% CPU on average, depending on the respective application activity.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, most of the memory and CPU consumed by Firefox obviously, followed by an almost 50% jump in memory consumption of Xfce Window Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, I think it is stable and should work fine in mid-range hardware with a minimum of 4 GB ram.
|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
There are very few [Linux distributions][4] that are based on Debian Unstable branch. If you are looking for a specific combination of Xfce and Debian sid, then Xebian is perfect because you get a super solid rolling release from Debian and with Xfce built-in.
|
||||
|
||||
Although it says “unstable”, in my experience, Debian “unstable” works well if you keep your system up to date weekly.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, head over to the official website and [download the ISO file][5] if you want to try this distribution.

Xebian – Debian 与 Xfce 的完美结合(评论)
|
||||
======
|
||||
这是对漂亮而时尚的 Xebian Linux 发行版的快速回顾。
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian 是一个基于 Xfce 桌面环境的 Linux 发行版,基于 Debian Unstable (sid) 分支。这个 Linux 发行版带来了一个带有 Debian 的基本 Xfce 桌面,无需更改配置和附加软件包。因此,你无需担心安装 Debian 和 Xfce 就可以获得开箱即用的普通体验。
|
||||
|
||||
话虽如此,如果你想尝试一下,这里是 Xebian 的快速回顾。
|
||||
|
||||
### Xebian 评论
|
||||
|
||||
#### 安装
|
||||
|
||||
考虑到各种可用的 ISO(迷你、自由、非自由等等),Debian 安装可能会很棘手。毕竟,它是一个真正的“通用操作系统”。但是对于 Xebian,它毫不费力,因为它只有一个 64 位 ISO 文件,它为你提供 Debian sid 和 Xfce。 Xebian 使用 Debian 的本机安装程序,在你的物理系统或虚拟机中安装此发行版相当简单。
|
||||
|
||||
在我的测试过程中,安装很顺利,没有报告任何问题。安装大约需要 4 分钟。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 外观和感觉
|
||||
|
||||
安装后,当你首次启动系统时,你会看到带有 Xebian 默认壁纸的漂亮登录页面。登录屏幕是标准的默认 Xfce 桌面登录页面。
|
||||
|
||||
![Xebian Logn Screen][1]
|
||||
|
||||
首先,桌面非常轻量,并且带有 Xfce 的干净外观。 Xebian 提供了带有 Debian 的 Xfce 的完整版本。因此,唯一的区别是看起来不错的默认壁纸和默认的 Numix 主题(深色)。 Adwaita 和 Gerybird 主题也适用于那些喜欢更传统外观的人。
|
||||
|
||||
其次,顶部面板右侧有 Whisker 菜单和标准系统托盘,带有音量控制、电池指示、网络/Wi-Fi 和日期/时间。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 应用
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian 打包了所有 Xfce 原生应用,并且不添加任何额外内容。安装它时,你应该已经拥有一个稳定的工作桌面,并预装了以下应用程序。
|
||||
|
||||
* Thunar 文件管理器
|
||||
* Ristretto 图像查看器
|
||||
* Mousepad 文本编辑器
|
||||
* Catfish 文件搜索
|
||||
* XFCE 终端
|
||||
* Firefox
|
||||
* Synaptic 包管理器
|
||||
* GParted 用于分区
|
||||
* 系统设置
|
||||
|
||||
除此之外,如果你需要任何其他应用,你可以使用 Synaptic 包管理器轻松安装它们。使用内置的 “Software and Sources” 应用可以轻松调整软件源。
|
||||
|
||||
[Xfce 4.16][2] 是目前与原生应用一起稳定的官方版本。它的核心是基于 Debian Unstable “sid”,在撰写本文时它具有 Debian 12 “bookworm” 发布路径。它基于最新的 [Linux Kernel 5.17][3] 滚动发布。 Xfce 4.18 距离最终版本还很遥远。
|
||||
|
||||
此外,如果你需要一个平常的图像编辑器、图形软件和 Office 套件(例如 LibreOffice),那么你需要手动安装它们。它们不是 ISO 文件的一部分。
|
||||
|
||||
现在,让我们来看看性能。
|
||||
|
||||
#### Xebian 的性能
|
||||
|
||||
Xebian 是轻量级的,非常适合旧硬件,这要归功于 Debian。我分两个阶段测试了性能。我让系统闲置一段时间的理想阶段消耗大约 710 MB 内存,而 CPU 平均为 2%。大多数空闲状态资源被 Xfce4-desktop 和 Xfce 窗口管理器消耗。
|
||||
|
||||
其次,我在重度使用阶段对其进行了测试。在这个工作负载中,我使用文件管理器、文本编辑器、终端和 Firefox 浏览器的一个实例尝试了 Xebian。
|
||||
|
||||
在此工作负载下,Xebian 平均消耗 1.2GB 内存和 2% 到 3% 的 CPU,具体取决于各自的应用活动。
|
||||
|
||||
而且,Firefox 明显消耗了大部分内存和 CPU,其次是 Xfce 窗口管理器的内存消耗增加了近 50%。
|
||||
|
||||
总的来说,我认为它是稳定的,应该可以在至少 4 GB 内存的中档硬件中正常工作。
|
||||
|
||||
### 结束语
|
||||
|
||||
基于 Debian Unstable 分支的 [Linux 发行版][4]很少。如果你正在寻找 Xfce 和 Debian sid 的特定组合,那么 Xebian 是完美的,因为你从 Debian 获得了一个超级可靠的滚动版本并内置了 Xfce。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然它说“不稳定”,但根据我的经验,如果你每周保持系统更新,Debian “unstable” 会很好地工作。
|
||||
|
||||
最后,如果你想尝试此发行版,请访问官方网站并[下载 ISO 文件][5]。
