Pisi Linux


Last Update: 2024-11-01 00:13 UTC


Pisi Linux is a GNU/Linux distribution based on the old Pardus Linux with its unique PiSi package management system. It's an operating system for desktop computer with software for listening to music, browsing the Internet and creating documents. Pisi Linux is built from scratch on a stable base, but many core user applications, such as the Firefox web browser or the VLC media player, are kept constantly up to date. To increase the distribution's user friendliness, Flash player and many multimedia codecs are installed and pre-configured for immediate use.

i started using Pisi Linux since 2005, when its name was Pardus. it is stable, fast and has a unique package management i love Pisi. great operating system quick and easy to install. it is successfully satisfying all the needs of a workspace environment and a server environment. it's the most stable KDE distro i have used. but these days, i prefer to install Pisi Minimal with Qtile wm :) it gets even better with the latest update. i think it would be a great start for those who are new to Linux. in short, although there are so many distros, i think it should be tried and seen.

I tried Pisi Linux hoping it will be great as a daily driver. Here was my experience. Install was easy and had a very beautiful design, Kaptan is also useful if you want to setup your desktop much easier. But, when I started doing my first update on the system, it was completely bricked. You couldn't open any app and it would go straight to sleep, upon opening, sddm was gone, I couldn't install or update anything anymore with the Pisi package manager as it needed urlgrabber(it was installed). I have tried this like 5 times, with different methods, none worked. On reboot, sddm appeared again but it was in a login loop. If it works on your computer, that's great! Pisi Linux is really good for people that want to take a break from Debian/Ubuntu based distros and would like to go with something easy, not to get on the curve of Gentoo or Arch.

I have reviewed the first version of pardus in 2005 and the subsequent versions of pardus up to 2007.1 and 2011. The subsystems are inherited from gentoo and the pisi package manager is also inspired by gentoo. It would not be wrong to say that “Pisi Linux is a Gentoo-like operating system”. For this reason, Pisi Linux is a unique operating system. It has the potential to rival the powerful operating systems of corporations and foundations with financial power. In its current form, it is suitable to be developed and to be a base operating system that can form the basis for commercial use. It can be transformed into an operating system that can be a competitor between desktop operating systems and workstation operating systems.
