Search Distributions

Important Note

Please note that we have put together a series of common search results for people looking for distributions that are beginner friendly, support Secure Boot, do not use systemd, or have a Raspberry Pi edition. Clicking any of the above links will take you immediately to the appropriate search results.

For more flexible search options and filters, please visit our Advanced Search section.

If you are looking for an article, tutorial or feature, please use our Article Search page.

Package search

Search the DistroWatch database for distributions using a particular package. If you are looking for a distribution with the latest kernel, select "linux" from the drop-down box below and type the version number into the text box next to it. Please note that the best way to obtain the GNOME version is by searching for "nautilus", while KDE Plasma is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package. Apache 2.x is listed as "httpd". As for versioning, if no version number is provided, this page will return any recent versions of the selected package. It is also possible to perform searches for distributions which do not contain a specific package. This returns a list of distributions where the given package is not present on the installation media.

The package version search offers the ability to search for packages which are close to a specific version, exactly equal to a specific version, greater than or less than a given version. The second field in the search form allows visitors to switch between these relations. Most people will probably want to use the like option as it will search for packages close to a given version. When no version is specified, like finds packages close to the latest version.

This page can be used to display all distributions which contain a specific package or version of a package. We also have search pages which display a side-by-side comparison of all packages between two distributions. We also provide a package which shows the version of a selected package in all active distributions.

Have fun and let us know how we can improve the search engine!
