Distro Hopping

Distro Hopping


Wer die weite Welt von Linux entdeckt, bemerkt schnell dass viele Distributionen und Desktops zur Auswahl stehen.

Als ich anfing mich mit Linux zu besch�ftigen, habe ich viel dar�ber gelesen. In Handb�chern, Foren, Wikis und Artikeln. F�r den Anfang entschied ich mich f�r Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Doch die Verf�hrung war gro� nach einer Weile etwas Neues auszuprobieren. Distro-Hopping, ich h�pfte von einer zur n�chsten Distribution.




Nur um zu schauen ob es vielleicht doch noch schneller geht oder andere tolle Funktionen angeboten werden. Auch wenn ich vieles vorher virtuell testete, so oft wie mit Linux hatte ich vorher noch nie mein System neu installiert. Einziger Vorteil: Ich lernte Linux und seine scheinbar unendlichen M�glichen n�her kennen.

Nach all dem Distro-Hopping hatte ich das H�pfen satt. Ich wollte mir konsequent ein System einrichten dass ich die n�chsten Jahre nutze, ohne es bald wieder in Frage zu stellen. Denn wer zieht schon gerne jeden Monat um?

Egal welche Distribution auf meiner Kiste lief, mein Favorit war und ist Debian und die darauf basierende Distribution Ubuntu.

Auf meinem Computer l�uft seit Januar 2013 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS und auf meinem Notebook rennt seit einigen Monaten Debian Wheezy mit XFCE.

Update, 15.10.2014

Auch ich war seit dem Blogeintrag wieder vom Distro-Hopping betroffen. Auf meinem Arbeitsplatzrechner und auf meinem Notebook nutze ich ab heute wieder Ubuntu. :-)

Mit Freude beobachte ich den Verlauf von meinem Thread zum Thema Distro-Hopping bei den zwei Foren von ubuntuusers und im debianforum. Vielen Dank f�r eure vielen interessanten Beitr�ge, Meinungen und Erfahrungen mit den einzelnen Distributionen die ihr dort schildert.

Welche Distribution habt ihr bis jetzt am l�ngsten benutzt?

Habt ihr schon die richtige Distribution gefunden oder gibt es immer noch eine andere Distribution die ihr gerne mal als Hauptsystem installieren m�chtet?

Was ist eurer Lieblings-Desktop?

What  is NuTyX ?

NuTyX began as a French Linux distribution which has added multi-language support. The distribution is created from Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch, with a custom package manager called "cards". The package manager can install individual binary packages, a group of related binary packages (e.g. desktop packages, such as KDE or Xfce), and compile source packages from "ports". The distribution is designed for intermediate and advanced Linux users.

The 10 benefits of NuTyX

  • You can install NuTyX from almost any other distribution, thanks to the BASH script named install-nutyx. This can be downloaded, study it carefully to see what it will do, then launch it from the host distribution. Briefly, the script will check for all the necessary tools, then start the download of a minimal set of packages and finally install them in the location you specified. Details and explanations can be found here.
  • The hierarchical ports collection system provides maximum flexibility in managing software. Each collection is divided into a mandatory and an extra part.
  • A very simple method called porting allows you to download a recipe from our repositories. This recipe is very similar to the scripts used in CRUX, and is usually less than 10 lines long. It can also determine and apply all needed Dependencies.
  • It has the ability, once installed in a folder, to produce a personalized installable ISO version of NuTyX. The new live version can also be re-installed on other machines, should you so desire.
  • It allows you to install a complete base binary package or a selection of individual base binaries packages. For example: devel, man, doc and lib.
  • It has no need of a separate HDD or partition. The NuTyX installer creates a virtual environment and therefore is able to install/re-install without formatting the target disk or partition.
  • It has unique installation coding, that prevents the NuTyX installer from FORMATTING the target partition. This means that NuTyX can be installed on a partition containing data: (for example) personal files and various non-system folders.
  • It has a very powerful, yet simple command which allows you to revert to the base system and completely change the graphical user interface (for example from KDE to XFCE). This makes it unnecessary to reinstall or download every package again. The already downloaded packages will be simply be reinstalled automatically if still uptodate.
  • It has a totally unique package manager made of expandable modules. It has no dependencies except glibc. One of its strong points is the ability to discover binary (run-time) dependencies automatically.
  • It has the ability to compile all the packages properly per level in a dedicated chroot environment. After compilation, all the dependencies are again checked to make sure no broken links are found.

Distro KaOS 2017 01 is Available For Download Bring KDE Plasma 5 8 5

Distro KaOS 2017 01 is Available For Download Bring KDE Plasma 5 8 5




Anke Boersma has announced the release of KaOS 2017.01, a new stable build of the projects rolling-release, desktop-oriented Linux distribution featuring KDE Plasma 5.8.5

What is KaOS ?

KaOS is a desktop Linux distribution that features the latest version of the KDE desktop environment, the Calligra office suite, and other popular software applications that use the Qt toolkit. It was inspired by Arch Linux, but the developers build their own packages which are available from in-house repositories. KaOS employs a rolling-release development model and is built exclusively for 64-bit computer systems.



Base of the system

Most notable major updates to the base of the system are Boost 1.62.0, ICU 58.2, Ruby 2.4.0, Systemd 232, FFMPEG 3.2, Linux 4.8.15, Mesa 13.0.2, Hunspell 1.6.0, Gpgme 1.8.0, Gstreamer 1.10.2 and a move to Openjpeg 2 (2.1.2)


New is the use of a GUI warning on system updates that require user action. Adding such notices to a News item or having an install message included in (at time large) pacman output is too easily missed. A rolling distribution will have to make such changes over the lifetime of an install. Thus the need for a better way to communicate is now implemented, see an example for the upcoming OpenVPN update for all users.

KaOS repositories no longer provide Qt 4. It is a good three years ago that development for Qt 4 stopped, late 2015 all support including security fixes ended. Any application that has not made the transition to Qt 5 in all this time can no longer be supported in KaOS. Either they actually are no longer maintained or their development is ignoring the implications of building on a possible insecure toolkit.

The Linux kernel has all the needed ucode build-in for a fully automated Early Microcode update.

What This Release ?

All parts of the Midna artwork have been updated, most notably a new sddm theme that uses a layered QML model. This makes selecting between the default regular Plasma session or optional Wayland much clearer. There is also a new move to the right vertical panel as the default. As always with this rolling distribution, you will find the very latest packages for the Plasma desktop, this includes Frameworks 5.29.0, Plasma 5.8.5, KDE Applications 16.12.0 and not-yet-released ports of KDE Applications. All built on Qt 5.7.1. Linux 4.8.15 has a change as to how the kernel image is created. Instead of using an install file that only gets called on kernel updates, a new hook file is used.
