6 Reasons to Try Nitrux OS
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Nitrux OS may not be one of the mainstream Linux distributions, but it is surely one of the unique offerings.
|
||||
|
||||
We have also [interviewed its creator Uri Herrera][1] in 2019 to learn how they initially aimed to go beyond the traditional Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
And, since then, we’ve come a long way to its recent [Nitrux 2.0 release][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Not to forget, they also [ditched Ubuntu as its base in favor of Debian][3], last year.
|
||||
|
||||
So, considering a lot has happened, and it’s been around for a few years now. Should you give it a try?
|
||||
|
||||
Here, I highlight some reasons to try [Nitrux OS][4]:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. It Isn’t Ubuntu-based
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Most Linux distributions recommended for everyday use are based on Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, our [recommendations for beginners][6] also include mostly Ubuntu Linux, but don’t let that fool you.
|
||||
|
||||
The only reason we recommend Ubuntu-based distros is it’s an easy-to-use distro with direct support for a lot of commercial software products.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you are not entirely new to Linux, and want to try something refreshing, stable but familiar, Nitrux OS as a Debian-based distro can be a good fit.
|
||||
|
||||
You can work your way through the terminal without a steep learning curve, whenever needed.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are curious, refer to our [comparison between Debian and Ubuntu][7] to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. Focus on AppImages
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
[AppImage][8] is a universal packaging system that does not depend on anything. You do not need a package manager, or any dependencies on your distro, to make it work.
|
||||
|
||||
It aims to be portable, efficient and does not need any setup/installation. Just like portable Windows executables.
|
||||
|
||||
And, Nitrux OS focuses on using AppImage applications to give you a seamless app experience.
|
||||
|
||||
The NX Software Center is a GUI to manage and install AppImage applications built using MauiKit (its UI framework).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. A KDE-Based Distro
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Nitrux OS is one of the [best Linux distributions featuring KDE.][9] If you dislike using GNOME or any other desktop environment (DE) out-of-the-box, KDE is a nice alternative to try.
|
||||
|
||||
In case you didn’t know, [KDE can be customized in many ways][10] compared to other DEs.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you want to personalize your desktop with the widest range of options, KDE lets you do that without much effort.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. Unique User Experience
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Nitrux UX combines the best of KDE, and Qt technologies along with its tweaks to give you a refreshing user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
While it does not feel completely alien, your workflow will feel a bit different when using Nitrux OX.
|
||||
|
||||
Even without any customizations from your side, the out-of-the-box experience is solid enough to count it as one of the [most beautiful distributions][12].
|
||||
|
||||
### 5\. Maui Shell
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
[Maui Shell][13] is a key highlight of Nitrux’s user experience. Recently, it has managed to put some promising work presenting a convergent interface for both desktop and mobiles/tablets.
|
||||
|
||||
While it hasn’t matured enough, it already looks pretty. And, as exciting as [System76’s upcoming Rust-based desktop environment][14].
|
||||
|
||||
It can be one of the most important reasons to try Nitrux OS to see it unfold a new era of the desktop experience, who knows?
|
||||
|
||||
### 6\. Xanmod Kernel
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
[Xanmod Kernel][15] is a customized version of the mainline Linux Kernel with performance tweaks and additional features. This should help you improve the desktop experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Nitrux 2.0, Xanmod Kernel will be the default Linux Kernel to provide you with an enhanced desktop experience.
|
||||
|
||||
You also get the option to choose other Linux Kernels like Liquorix and Libre, each of their benefits.
|
||||
|
||||
Or, you can also choose to go with mainline LTS Linux Kernel, if you do not prefer Xanmod. So, you’ve complete freedom and the ability to seamlessly choose a different kernel if you want to ditch the default.
|
||||
|
||||
[Nitrux OS][4]
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to consider all the risks when switching from a mainstream distribution to options like Nitrux OS.
|
||||
|
||||
But, **I’d like you to give this a thought:**
|
||||
|
||||
Distributions like Nitrux OS passionately try to improve things as per their vision.
|
||||
|
||||
Even without corporate backing or massive funds to help them, they have been able to develop this amazing distribution, developed [Maui project][16], and the interesting Maui shell.
|
||||
|
||||
So, I think we should try our best to support them in any way we can.
|
||||
|
||||
That being said, every Linux distribution comes with its share of issues. Whenever you take a leap with a new distro, you might want to give it some time before getting comfortable with it as your daily driver.
|
||||
|
||||
So, I would suggest trying it in your spare time or setting up a virtual machine to test things out.
|
||||
|
||||
_I_‘_d be curious if you like/hate the experience. Let me know your thoughts after trying it out in the comments below._
