  • 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 am very impressed with Biglinux. Have installed on a Lenovo T450 and as a virtual machine on my HP daily work machine. It is stable, looks good and runs fast. It has several useful functions built in that save one lots of headaches.

1. It makes it easy to install downloaded programs regardless of whether they are deb or or rpm. It has a converter built in to ease installation. In addition to a good library or AUR, Manjaro and flatpak files.
2. It has a handy web apps feature that gives you access to a bunch of popular web apps such as Microsoft 360 and Spotify. Plus it provides a tool to add whatever web apps you may like.
3. It installs and runs Microsoft based apps under wine quickly and with very little user input.
Not a gamer. So no idea how it implements Steam or Lutris.
I am a 5 year user of MX Linux and Mint. I still run Mint as my everyday system. But I may switch soon.

Not impressed after a very brief (and fairly quick) regular install - you can play pong while it installs. Admittedly I used the same defaults I always use (ext4 rather than btrfs, light mode, etc.) so maybe it needs that to be efficient? In any case, it was very very slow upon first boot, and uses the longest set of kernel parameters I've ever seen, many not even applicable to my hardware. Ultimately I got it booted and into the desktop after eliminating all that, but it still took a good long while to load the DE. Not worth the effort to tame it into something closer to Arch IMO. Too many weirdnesses for me, including but not limited to its own app store, inconsistencies with English not always used, and a terminal prompt with that blocky/fancy look and too many lines...

I expected something more EOS or even Manjaro-like based on other reviews, but this ain't that, at least in my circumstance. It does have some fabulous theming however, which caused me to explore getting .heic images to work, so not a total waste of time. Great wallpapers do not a great distro make...

I tried this distrobution, and it felt really good at first/

It looks great, and everything felt snappy.
I like how they created their own theme on KDE plasma.
Tried it out for a few hours on a virtual machine. And I was nearly sold to install this on my main system, till I hit the following issue:

The only problem was that I kept running into Portuguese messages throughout the system.
It completely ruined the experience for me. I have nothing against other languages, but in a distro it should be consistent.
Once that is fixed I'll come back and try it again.
