  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

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.

 A great idea - with room for improvements.

I use it to backup my LG phones but also to have an always working adb connection with me wherever I go (I flashed mAid to an USB stick permanently which is supported now with v4).

the open list of feature request lemme hope there is more to come, ideally I would really love installing mAid as a (meta)-package on Arch(based) distros. Upgrading maid requires a full re-flash always and that should be avoided.

other then that: mAid saved my life a bunch of times and I can just recommend it - the remote support thing which is included is a life saver, too! (hey dad boot mAid, start teamviewer, connect your phone, I'll do the rest ;) )

 Perfect for managing Samsung smartphones. All drivers are installed and ODIN could also be used after downloading Java runtime environment.
I used the distro temporarly by booting on an USB stick. Fast and clean for my purpose.

 Loaded this up as a VM just to see what it's like. Immediately attempted to install Chromium, which worked. What didn't work, however, was running Chromium. Nice desktop and interface but instant uninstall, GG.
