Kumander Linux is a Debian-based distribution featuring the Xfce desktop. The distribution's key feature is a Windows 7-like theme and desktop behaviour designed to make the migration from Windows to Linux easier.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
I love it! xfce is always my first choice when it comes to de's, that's why I gave Kumander a try. zero probs with installation. runs fast and stable. better hardware support - at least for my touchscreen - than f.e. Mint, almost nothing negative to say. and this is for a v.1 ! that's a big wow.
cons: time and language settings have to be adjusted manually after installation. and the softwarecenter needs to be organized better (anyways you'll find everything you need using the search field).
To me Kumander has been so convincing that I even decided to install it on my over 80 y.o. mothers desktop; I changed the design a bit to make it look almost exactly like her old windows-desktop to make her feel more comfortable et voila ... with over 80 she has absolutely no problems switching to Kumander.
I do hope this distro finds a lot of fans and many supporters.

This is by far my favorite Debian w/XFCE distro that I have tried, and I think I have tried most.
It is beautifully themed, fast, contains a decent assortment of app's, and everything works.
I did install Synaptic for package management & NTP for network time sync.
For x-windows users out there, like me, I think they will find Kumander to be to their liking.
I know that Kumander is really a "one man show" distro so I hope that Roy gets some help to keep it going as it is one of the best distro's out there.

Surprisingly 'snappy' in feel, it can be modified to look like many other distros but I made mine look like a mongrel with a Windows father but operating like mother, Linux Mint. Like many Linux versions it has its quirks but nothing as yet have I found insurmountable, and I am not an expert by any means. It uses its own graphic driver instead of an Nvidia driver as did Mint, but there have been no problems with any graphics I have seen. After several days of use I cannot think of any reason to revert to Mint yet.
