Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • 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.

hello really good linux distribution. I've tried many but this one works perfectly. It is a Gentoo-based then as startup it uses Open-Rc which in my opinion is faster and more stable than the Systemd tradition used by the various linux distributions. To update you need to run the cl-update command from the terminal. But now I've been using this distribution daily for a long time and I feel great.Then emrge works much better than Fedora and Ubuntu's DNF and APT. I believe that in the future I won't change my reference distribution anymore

Installed today, and wow, everything went greatly and worked as i wished.

It is fast as Gentoo, and it doesnt has all the hassle of compiling things in legacy hardware - which takes a lot of time in Gentoo. I installed the ISO with KDE, but i am switching to wayland, and no problem at all. Audio is the only problem that i am having, but, it's a general problem and it's happening to every distro (my graphics card isnt helping at all, bruh).

I don't recommend using if you are a newbie to the linux world, it may be more hard to you to learn about it, but it's worth the challenge - i think. I am going to update my review someday as i use it as my daily driver.

Yay

Have been using Calculate Linux on and off for about 5 years. Switched back on April 1, 2023 and am thrilled with the results. Using KDE Plasma and I am very happy.

Everything just works and works well. It is a very tight system.

I did use Gentoo earlier this year for about a month. That experience helped me in understanding Calculate better. It is not a requirement to use Calculate but you get invaluable experience in understanding Portage.

My hands down best feature is that I can run Windows 10 in VirtualBox and I get an almost bare metal experience. I can barely notice the difference. Very happy that I do not have to dual boot anymore. When I need Windows, my work gets done and done.

Videos are crisp and tear free, audio is perfect using Pipewire.

Libreoffice is fast.

I am not a gamer so I cannot offer any experiences on that score.

Very happy and recommend you try a bare metal install of Calculate. Portage is a command line only package manager. There is a learning curve. Just use cl-update -c and your system will update and clean obsolete packages from your system.

Try it, set it up and forget it. Your distro hopping days will be over.
