Ufficio Zero is a Linux distribution based on Xubuntu LTS (long-term support) release. It features a customised Xfce environment together with many powerful productivity suites, such as LibreOffice, LibreCAD, several cloud clients, Firefox and Thunderbird. It is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit computer systems. Ufficio Zero's Team has created a live bare metal restore Solution too for 64-bit machines only. This Duplica edition contains many tools to cloning and restoring hard disk images as well as checking for malware.
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.
Briefly tested their Urbino and 10 versions in VMs. They are both based off LMDE5 just with diferent theming options so the overall experiences are very similar.
Installation process was flawless for both versions. You run the installer, go through various steps in the installer and you'll get it installed with absolutely no issue.
After booting into the installed system, that's when I started to encounter some issues. I was at first attempting to update the system, but some mirrors cannot be fetched due to 403 time out. I then went ahead and tried updating packages that it fetched successfully. At the end of the process I was hit with errors regarding linux-image-5.10.22-amd64 package along with initramfs-tools. I was assuming that something was wrong with the kernel download, maybe the download was corrupted, so I tried to purge it and download it again. However, I ran into the same error when running the purge command.
Then after searching on the internet for some time, I found a post about having live-boot on installed systems. That's when I tried to run the command `sudo apt purge live-boot-initramfs-tools` and indeed both `live-boot-initramfs-tools` and `live-boot` packages are installed on the system. After purging those packages the system returns normal, with packages can be updated and installed with no issue.
To me this looks like an oversight from the Ufficio Zero team as in the description of `live-boot` package it clearly states that this package shouldn't be installed on non-live systems. It's not a huge issue if you know what to look for on the internet, but for average users that got hit with those error messages just because they want to update their systems, I would say it still looks somewhat intimidating especially since it's related to the linux kernel, based on what the error message states.
Long story short, if you want to use Urbino version or 10 version, after installing the system make sure you run `sudo apt purge live-boot-initramfs-tools` before updating your system to get rid of packages that are not supposed to be on installed systems. (I also tested the latest Tropea version and that one works fine when you update the system so no extra action is needed.)
Many flavors to choose from, "REMIX" of other operating system(s),
PCLinuxOS, LMDE5, Linux Mint 20.x,
Devuan Chimaera, Linux Mint 19.3,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Not everyone want(s) to "CONVERT" to high-end machinery computers. Ufficio Zero has been running great on my Think-pad-T500 series legacy laptop, with only bare minimum of dual or two Pentium core processors. Hope Ufficio Zero continues to make more 32bit and 64bit A'like Operating system(s). Not many minimal operating system(s) in the linux, unix, unix-bsd, world left over, most, if' not all have changed completely over to only 64bit permanently.
I collect legacy computer machinery, so hope Ufficio Zero cont. ( Continues ) to make more 32bit for years to come!
I understand why! Many of the desktops in original operating systems are "TOP-HEAVY" such as ubuntu operating system(s) and fork(s) such as mint; " Another ubuntu under the hood of the car or truck, with fancy eye candy, bloat. "
Some of your os work bare minimum even on Pentium 4 processor, to dual-core, thank you for your hard work! Please continue to produce such wonderful operating system(s)
