I can't get Lindoz to boot to the desktop from live usb.
Default boot option gets stuck on a blank black screen so i try the nomodeset boot option
I get to the login with a black screen then enter username and password (makulu).
Then i do 'startx' and it throws an error ,something mainly about "Xauthority" but also "framebuffer".
I have an AMD rx560 graphics card which might have something to do with it but the well documented "radeon nomodeset" command should work to get around that.
Tried the latest testing version too but no luck ,also tried uefi and non-uefi.
I'll come back one day in the future and hope they're released a better distro.
Meanwhile i'll stick with MX linux which always works.

Tested version 15 and the newer FLASH version. Both load to the desktop and everything works except sound. A background noise of constant thump, thump, thump, except when the VLC media player is on.
I found this same problem on other Linux distributions. SystemD perhaps?

MakuluLinux-15 LinDoz is a stunningly beautiful and extremely fast running Debian testing based Cinnamon Desktop OS. It uses themes that resemble m$ Windoze themes (xp, win7 win10 etc). This makes it easy for m$ OS users to migrate to Linux.Installation is very simple. The iso itself doesn't have a lot of software installed, but during the installation you get to select which flavour of Desktop you want to use (Office, Gamer etc). Based on what you select the packages are then downloaded and installed. You also have the option for a barebones install, which doesn't download any additional software.
Pro's:
1. Extremely fast. The fastest Cinnamon based OS I have ever seen.
2. Beautiful themes and backgrounds.
3. Very good idea to have only one iso and let the user decide during installation what he's going to use the OS for.
4. There is also an ova file for download, which can be downloaded from the site and imported directly into VirtualBox, so users don't need to install it themselves into VBox, very good idea?
Con's:
1. To install anything other than barebone, you need an Internet connection when installing the OS.
All in all an awesome OS.

1. It is very slow
2. I can not install another language than english, even if it choose "german" on the installer, after reboot, the system is in english and when i try to add the german language it will do nothing (choos german, klick on install and........tataaaaaaaaa.... nothing happens.
3. The idea is good but it will take some versions to install it again (may Makulu 20 or 25 will work good)
I don´t know how many people are on this Linus working but they have still a lot of work todo!!

J'ai installé Lindoz sur mon Lenovo G50-30 et tout fonctionne à la perfection.
Makulu est stable et très facile à utiliser et je la conseille aux nouveaux adeptes de Linux.
L'installation est très facile et les applications embarquées sont suffisantes
et bien choisies......et on peut rapidement installer de nouvelles appli avec
synaptic.
La configuration d'origine est attrayante. J'utilise Siduction, Peppermint mais
je préfère Makulu car plus attrayante.
Je conseille d'essayer Makulu en live (mot de passe makulu mais ,qkulu sur clavier QWERTY) pour voir si tout fonctionne et si ça plait.
Le bureau est Cinnamon mais il existe une version Xfce plus légère en RAM.
..je mets 9 seulement car je préfère le bureau Mate , mais c'est mon opinion.
I rate a 9 only because a Mate version is what I think better IMO....with a Mate DE Makulu will become my daily OS.
...Please dev offer us a Makulu Mate.

What sets it apart from other Cinnamon DEs is the ability to do much more Menu configuring. Unlike most Cinnamon DEs, where the seach box is at the top, with Makulu it can be set at the bottom, making it closer to the mouse pointer, which was used to open the Menu. (Conversely, if one uses a keyboard hot key to open the menu then one may feel more comfortable having the Search box at the top.)
Uses SU instead of SUDO, which some prefer. It still uses systemd, though, which I do not like. ymmv.
It has the typical Cinnamon theme installation headaches. (MATE is much easier to install themes, icons, cursors.)
There is no Plymouth splash screen so one will see the verbose boot screen.
Uses Synatptic Package Manager, which one who is very familiar with will probably like, but it retains the Apply button which other distros do away with.
I found it to be very stable and it also can update the kernels on the fly, since it is a Rolling release, unlike some other distros that tend to be difficult to update and install a new kernel, or the new kernels causes crashes or locks up the system.
Highly recommended for the very tech savvy.

I am using a Dell Optoplex 780 2 core 8 gigs of ram. Testing Lindoz 14 out on with a duel boot.
I will have to say that the desktop pictures are nice. But for me I tested the steam in the OS it does not work, No none of the screen savers that are installed do not work has well. There are many parts of this OS that look like windows 10 an 7.
But I would like them to fix the driver manager it is not finding hardware in the computer.
Even if you are using AMD or Intel. it should see either one of them. Plus it should find your video cards.
The software store needs a lot of work has well.

Has a couple of bugs here and there, but overall has the best Windows-mimic experience of all the distros I've tested.

Running Lindoz 14. Found it a very pretty disto, Desktop feels like using windows 7. Lindoz uses Cinnamon desk top and has Xfce Version. Finding it stable, I am Mint user and finding this distro is on par with Mint but a little more effort gone into making the desktop looking nicer.
This distro at time of writing this is still under development but I am finding it stable and no issues at all.
Comes with good collection of apps
Fast and smooth desktop
Some App's are dev version like VLC and Gimp but so far but they work well.
My only nitpicking fault so far is the software package menu, it is Ubuntu, i prefer the Mint menus in software packages, but this is nitpicking. Really like this distro one that is really worth checking out,
Really good for newbies coming from windows, they will find the menus are basiclly the same as windows 7/10
I like this distro so much I am making this distro as my main driver for my desktop.

I download Lindoz 14, make a live Usb with Rufus and boot in my Lenovo. Everythig OK.I tested Lindoz 14 for 1 hour....RAM usage is aroud 640MB at first login.
PROS:
A lot of nice and usefull App are included.
Everythig work fast and well.
Keyboard layer and language can be easely changed
CONS:
External peripherals (USB stick, DVD) are not automouted or auto
opened at insertion (whereas Nemo is configured for).
Some App's are dev version like VLC and Gimp..but they work well.
My fealing: good distro still under dev but totally usable for a Linux novice.
My only concern after 1 hour with this live distro is that I was not able to automatically play a movie DVD at insertion or automatically open an USB stick on insertion.
My whishes: Having the same Lindoz but whith Mate DE for a smaller Ram foot. So I rate a 9 and recommend MAKULU.

MakuluLinux Flash Devbuild 1.1.75 absolute dream to use highly recommend this distro and hope it gets way more attention. This distro is equal if not better than Linux Mint, Debian and Ubuntu flavors. The eye candy is amazing and the system runs smooth. Tons of features to choose from. You can customize just about anything.
