  • 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.

 This distribution is completely convincing and offers arguably the most configuration options a user can have. Installation is quite quick and problem-free. The built-in software manager offers everything needed for daily use for further installation. The entire system uses very little RAM, and applications launch very quickly. The configuration options are initially overwhelming, but with a little time, you can adapt the system to your own needs. It's fun to work with the distribution. Thumbs up for something so great!

 I've installed Mabox on my main PC and after few days I can say that it isn't for me. Like may other distros it will offer a decent amount of apps, some of them are less known, some of them are well established. However it is the interface that I have most problems with. I used to use fluxbox with Slackware and it was OK, lxde on OpenSuse and never had a problem setting things up. It was in one place, either editing config files or using gui.
In Mabox, the Openbox is not a "pure" OpenBox. They've added Conky, some taskbar (Tilt?), and other gimmicks.
I do not understand why you need to have several menus/tools to configure a colour of menu items (Colorizer and other). It is just a mess.
Lets say you want to change audio source, so you click on speaker icon, but you can only mute or open internet radio. Audio source settings are hidden under some other menus.
The Conker desktop widgets can't be set precisely to a given location, even when you click on free movement.
Several menus to do simple things like font change, multiple application to install software (and some of them don't work).

A simple DE should be simple. Not only to configure but to use as well. The Mabox desktop , although cool looking, is getting in the way and I can not recommend this to use daily. Maybe as a showoff, so that you can post images if your cool looking hacker desktop:)

I didn't know Mabox before, which is why it surprised me all the more. It is incredibly fast and recognizes Nvidia cards without any problems. The live distro on the USB stick is super functional, as you can set everything important beforehand, such as graphics, language, keyboard and time. Openbox was a bit confusing for me at first, as I usually only work with KDE or Cinnamon, but you get used to it very quickly. It's fun to work with.



Everything works. Gaming, Office, editing movies - it hasn't crashed once so far.



Super distro, thumbs up for the developers!
