• 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 had to use ethernet, which is unconvenient. Also the distro feels outdated, the tools are pretty old, other mandriva based distros moved to dnf, and are easier to use and much more innovative, while this distro feels like it is the year 2005 again. Also i had problems with codecs in this distro, sound was weird and videos were not looking good. And the connection to software repo was slow, felt like ADSL and 2000s again.

Its completely different story. Its good, fast, and not just fast, its VERY fast. Compared to openSUSE and Fedora, its just like i bought a new fast car after my old cheap car. Although ROSA website is translated to english through google translate, their distro is fully usable with english and fully translated. Installer is easy to use, it took 5 minutes to install. Yandex Browser is installed from the box, but its easy to delete: 1. Open terminal 2. Write "dnf remove yandex*" 3. Confirm - thats all. ROSA's repository is big and i found all packages i need there. Steam for gaming, Lutris for windows games - in repository. GUI Package Manager - dnfdragora, i cannot say that its easy to use, but its not difficult also. KDE, GNOME, xfce, LXQT and server version are available to download. Probably its the best distro for newbies. And for me :) Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 23 reader reviews of ROSA...
