Ubuntu has managed to do a lot of improvements on top of it to make it a good desktop experience, even for users without prior Linux experience. + +So, how is this different? + +Well, the creator says that this project aims to help you use Debian with all its core strengths without customizing a lot of things. + +SpiralLinux is a close-to-vanilla experience if you want to use Debian on your desktop. You can also upgrade to the latest stable Debian version (or unstable/testing) as you require without losing the user-friendly customizations. + +In other words, SpiralLinux makes Debian fit for desktop usage with minimal efforts to the end-user. + +And, to achieve this, SpiralLinux uses official Debian package repositories providing a live installation method to let you setup a customized Debian system. + +Additionally, you have the following features in SpiralLinux: + +* VirtualBox support out-of-the-box +* Preinstalled proprietary media codecs and non-free package repositories +* Preinstalled proprietary firmware +* Printer support +* Flatpak support through a GUI (software center) +* zRAM swap enabled by default +* Multiple desktop environments (Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome, Plasma, MATE, Budgie, LXQt) + +Considering Debian always sticks to the open-source and free packages, the end-user has to figure out the codecs, drivers, and other packages to make a lot of things work for a proper desktop experience. + +And, it seems like SpiralLinux could live as a useful alternative to Debian just like GeckoLinux is to openSUSE. + +### Download SpiralLinux + +If you always wanted to try Debian, but did not want to fiddle around a lot for initial configuration, you can try SpiralLinux. + +You can head to its official webpage hosted on GitHub to explore more about it. + +[SpiralLinux][3] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/debian-remix-spiral-linux/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/spiral-linux-debian-remix-distro.jpg +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/spirallinux.jpg +[3]: https://spirallinux.github.io/
