Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • 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 was very excited to give Vipnix a try, and it didn't disappoint. Key features:
1) LXQT desktop.
2) Xlibre window server
2) init that's not Systemd

The distribution seems to mainly be geared for programmers, and features programs like Vim in addition to having other basic software.

I didn't notice an option for installing the operating system to disk. I'm just getting acquainted with Gentoo based distros; I hope Porthole and Himerge work with the distro (once I figure out how to install this distro to disk!).

So far I've tried the Vipnix live CD on two sytems: 1) one very old Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 that runs on 4GB of RAM and has a Core2Duo U9300 processor (with a Passmark score of less than 500), an 2) a more modern system featuring an AMD 4800U processor (with a Passmark score of over 15,000). It ran well on both systems and I particularly liked the speed that it ran on the old Toughbook given its low powered processor and graphics. (Note: I was also impressed that the touch pen worked on the Toughbook's touchscreen equal to or better than any distro I have tried on that unit to date.)

There's very few running distros out there (Vipnix never crashed on me) featuring Xlibre, and moreover this distro is free from Systemd. It's a technological achievement, and hopefully there will be more features to come as the distro matures.
