Last Update: 2021-07-05 12:50 UTC


NuTyX is a French Linux distribution (with multi-language support) built 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.

Table Notes and Explanations
  • Select view:
  • 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.

Excellent desktop variety, excellent package manager, and Stable as a rock, NuTyX is a Distribution that is quite literally for everyone. There are live images with preinstalled desktop environments and an FLTK frontend for the Cards package manager (a fork of CRUX's PRTutils, which also needs a mention), there are minimal images with an Ncurses installer and almost no packages, and you can even download the installer script seperately and install it from within your own distribution! And, you can choose between stable releases and a rolling-release mode that is actually pretty stable, too! The only time I ever broke it was when I accidentally removed a ton of packages when I typed the wrong command. The documentation is pretty good, too. It's not Slackware-level documentation (trust me, Slackware's documentation is better than even the Arch wiki), but it's pretty good. And, the notion of "collections" allows you to install multiple desktops without interference. In fact, the whole system is modular, so when you uninstall a package, you don't lose a bunch of nessecary packages because they're bundled with the package that's getting uninstalled. Great work, NuTyX team! You really have something great going on here! Easy10/10!

Version 12 Beta 4

I don't know what this is meant to be, but it is totally unusable. Unable to run live, unable to install.
