BigLinux is a Brazilian Linux distribution localised into Brazilian Portuguese (with support for English). It is was originally based on Kubuntu, but starting from 2017 the distribution was re-born based on deepin. It then offered two desktop environments - Cinnamon and Deepin. In 2021 the distribution switched bases and desktop environments again, migrating to Manjaro Linux running KDE Plasma.
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 a decade-old desktop that had Windows 7. I got the end-of-life message and bought a Windows 8 laptop. Last December I got the end-of-life message for that!. That's when I decided to switch to Linux. I had a little experience with Ubuntu and was not happy to have to use a terminal.
I found BigLinux by going to the DistroWatch Project Ranking and looking for the highest rated product that would work as a home office setup. I loaded it and others onto disks to try out. I tried about eight different disros on disks and BigLinux seemed the best...even better than the Manjaro it was based on.
I installed Big Linux on my desktop with the hope of reviving it and using it as a home office machine. The install went smoothly and gave me a dual-boot option. Printer and peripherals installed with no problem. The installed software was more than enough to communicate with the office and write reports from home. I had one question that was quickly answered on the forum.
The switch from Microsoft to Linux is now simple! I thank the development team for making BigLinux and excellent out-of-the-box experience. BigLinux is fast and does not take up a lot of room. The variety of software gives me more than I need and a lot more to experiment with. Flatpak and AUR give more options. Also, it is a nice-looking distro! I am now starting to do some customizing. I was able to set up hot-corners like Windows and get most everything working similarly.
A few of the office laptops have slowed down and are now staring to get Windows 10 end-of life messages, as well as messages saying they are not good enough to handle Windows 11. The office manager wants to toss them; I will install BigLinux on them and take them back to the office.
I was a Windows user before I switched to Big Linux. My daily activities are disrupted by viruses, slow system performance and hangs.
That's what made me switch to Linux.
I've tried different distros, and to be honest, I'm confused about using them.
Until finally I found Big Linux on YouTube, and I was interested in trying it.
With Big Linux, novice users like me don't have to worry about command line, everything can be done via a graphical interface. WIFI, bluetooth, webcam, dual graphic intel + Nvidia work very well without any problems.
I can even run Windows software very easily.
Android Apps? No problem at all.
And system performance feels very smooth, very fast for a laptop made 10 years ago
Currently, I still dual boot Windows 11 and Big Linux, to learn and get used to Big Linux.
I highly recommend this OS to anyone, especially Windows users who want to switch to Linux.
I have been using Big Linux OS as a primary, go to, Desktop. It works out of the box. Is easy to use, is reliable. I have not found any bugs that interfere with day to day function. Its enjoyable. Has great configuration options. Just a pleasure.
I have used most Linux Distros and always had some issues. Even Linux Ubuntu and mint through up some issues, such as bugs in the printing and scanning with my HP printer; which is supposed to be compatible. Most have been minor issues, which is why I stuck with Linux but after finding Big Linux OS I have been very happy.
Its so responsive. I have never been a fan of Manjaro which this Big Linux is based on. Did not find it intuitive. Big Linux on the other hand is. I believe it is an OS suitable for a beginner or someone experienced. It has something for every one. It deserves a higher profile. The work that has gone into this, shows. It is polished, an example of how a desktop and OS should be. I highly recommend this OS.
