What default DE does it use? It doesn't even say on the website

@zoeruda the default is vanilla gnome for the iso, but you can customize the install and use kde, xfce, i3 and I could be missing one or two options.

Side note the optimization is working as advertised for my wife two core intel i3 laptop.

This is exactly (actually the experience in Munich) what I was thinking to yesterday when answering in the thread "What, in your opinion, prevents Linux to become even harder, better, faster, stronger?".
This is really good news.

I found this fantastic project GitHub - JezerM/web-greeter: A modern, visually appealing greeter for LightDM., a fork of the Antergos web-greeter. The same developer has also created GitHub - JezerM/nody-greeter: LightDM greeter that allows to create wonderful themes with web technologies. Made in Node.js, which is built with Node.js and Electron.

Great to see that the project is still being kept alive!

Some all-over-the-place tech goodies....

  1. Garuda mention, should be at #1 though. I mean Kubuntu? The worst KDE distro imo.
  1. And POP OS, further proof they are de-unbuntuizing (smart move?)
  1. And for all the Tor users, this is turd in the punch bowl. The five-eyes at work? :eyes:

Hundreds of Tor Relays are Being Used to De-anonymize Users

Garuda Linux is also an Arch based tolling release distribution.

A tolling, :smiley: no wonder if Garuda is on # 8 :wink:

We got a 'good' for help and support. I think @Bro is keeping us from the 'very good' on the help desk with his 'no-nonsense' and 'do your own damn research' approach. :rofl:

Well not everyone appreciates "empowerment" and "help to selfhelp" sadly :confused:

Probably because they are too busy deleting the default help post information from their new thread rather than reading it. :wink: :rofl:

Help only goes as far as people are willing to read. If they ignore the signs at the front gate then.... :man_shrugging:

That Nitrux seems to have an interesting way of doing things. The rest of them I am sure I have tried over the years, but I never was impressed with most of them outside of Garuda, and Neon(though now days I would just assume install stock arch or Garuda bare-bones to get the same experience minus the Ubuntu base.)

As far as the System76 I think that could either be a really good thing for them or it could go horribly wrong, either way I applaud them for trying to make it more of their own thing.
