Mysterious GeckoLinux Creator Reveals a New Debian Remix Distro
|
||
======
|
||
GeckoLinux creator unveils a new Linux distribution based on Debian, focusing on simplicity and usability.
|
||
|
||
![spiral linux][1]
|
||
|
||
The creator of GeckoLinux (providing an improved openSUSE experience) remains anonymous.
|
||
|
||
And, I won’t comment if it is a good or bad thing, but now the developer is back with another similar project based on Debian.
|
||
|
||
**SpiralLinux**, a Debian-based distribution that aims to make Debian usable for the end-users.
|
||
|
||
### SpiralLinux: A Distro Built from Debian
|
||
|
||
![spirallinux][2]
|
||
|
||
It is no surprise that most of the user-friendly Linux distributions have Debian as its original base. 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.
