Last Update: 2023-02-24 10:47 UTC



Redcore Linux explores the idea of bringing the power of Gentoo Linux to the masses. It aims to be a very quick way to install a pure Gentoo Linux system without spending hours or days compiling from source code, and reading documentation. To achieve this goal, Redcore provides a repository with pre-built binary packages which receives continuous updates, following a rolling release model.

After reading some of the review here, I wondered if installing Redcore was going to be a waist of my time. Redcore has been around for ages, but I was reluctant to try it. I gave it a shot after testing a string of terrible distros that were highly recommended. I loaded Redcore into my 2015, slow as molasses Gateway, and it came alive! Thanks to Redcore it's fast as lightening now, and is on my desk and no longer in the trash heap. I had always liked Gentoo distros but most have vanished over the years. Sabayon was a favorite, but its complicated updating progress usually led to software conflicts resulting in a meltdown. Redcore is simple, straightforward, and practical. But with Linux flexibility. That's what I like. I think more people would like it too, if they just gave it a try.

Redcore Linux was installed Feb. 25, 2023 onto my 2008 Dell Studio i-7 with eight gigs of memory. Redcore requires a lot more time to install binary applications than I have experienced with any other operating systems, but every application works perfectly. Applications run smoother and more responsive than I have experienced with any other Linux system. In addition to binary and source applications, I have installed third-party applications such as Google-Chrome without a glitch. Either Twitter and Facebook changes their system to be smoother operating, or Redcore did something to make those two sites run smoother.

Used this operating system on think-pad still installed, accidentally got the notorious black screen of death, after used my smart-phone did some research online seems to be something to do with boot manager using light-dm and sddm. Went to redcore home page saw they had the fix, used it, it says after you fix light-dm and sddm to update the operating system. Had similar problems using Slackware 15 and their respins and forks such as zenwalk. If' redcore team in Romanian could iron out ( fix this bug error ) this bug on future.
