Q4OS is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution designed to offer classic-style user interface (Trinity) and simple accessories, and to serve stable APIs for complex third-party applications, such as Google Chrome, VirtualBox and development tools. The system is also very useful for virtual cloud environments due to its very low hardware requirements.
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 try a lot of distros and desktop environment until some years, . My favourite is the debian, ubuntu based ones with KDE, but the last 2 years i used Tumleweed. Almost everything works, but just almost. Some issues with update, wifi, and printer. I decided to chose other distro. I suffered a lot because always had something problem with printer, appearance settings, mounting usb, installing app, or working stremio. But i have given a chance Q4OS Plasma! Finally, it works!! Everything, i mean really everything what i need. Fine installation, settiings, even the Discover and the updates, printers, stremio, you can use flatpaks. It is fantastic, great thanks!!
Q4OS is a really great operating system, I found it the best option to me. I like the stability and approach of Debian. It is available in two editions, Plasma and Trinity desktop. Plasma pose a better desktop to me, however Trinity has become an extraordinary, novel option. I like the Q4OS Lookswitcher styles idea, I can theme the desktop look in different ways, even in quite believable Windows styles. I prefer Q4OS over other Linux distributions because of the sober approach to keep Debian's proven base, so I can rely on Q4OS absolutely. Repositories of Q4OS offer plenty of applications, they consist of vanilla Debian repositories and some smaller Q4OS one. Live and installation media come with pre-defined set of applications, they are configured with basic and desktop options but the most magic is the ability to define own application set and apply it upon the OS installation. Q4OS also offers some other dedicated native tools they make user's life easier. Q4OS forum seems to be a great platform to get a user support with occasional periods of silence.
