As a traveler who relies on sketchy hotel WiFi for everything, I rarely have the time or patience to mess with new software. But this trip, I came across a lifesaver: Gnoppix. Let me tell you, this Linux distro is a game-changer for anyone who hits the road with a laptop.
Here's why:
Plug-and-Play Perfection: I simply copied the newest image (24.6.15) to a USB stick, booted it up on various machines, and boom! I was up and running faster than any other live CD I've tried. No complicated installations, just instant access.
App Arsenal Out of the Box: No more scrambling to find the basics. It came loaded with everything I needed, from web browsing to document editing. It saved me tons of time not having to hunt down software.
Security Champion: This is my biggest concern on public WiFi.Gnoppix made securing my connection a breeze. No wrestling with complex settings – it just worked!
Now, I'm no Linux guru, but for anyone who needs a secure, user-friendly OS on the go, gnoppix is a fantastic option. It's fast, well-equipped, and puts security first – exactly what a traveling techie needs. Highly recommend! Well done guys!!
Gnoppix is a nice looking distribution, but too many important things don't work to deserve a good rating. I was first annoyed that it didn't recognise wifi networks, and after connecting it to the cable I found that neither anonsurf nor vpn worked, so for me it has become almost useless at this point compared to some of the others. The ram consumption is also annoying, given that it is an xfce desktop, which is supposed to be light on hardware resources. On the positive side, it is based on Debian and it looks nice, but the shortcomings mentioned above have led me to replace it with one more suited to my needs.

1 gig of memory on 64 bit machine running XFCE is unusable. I changed to 4 GIg to get it operational. The documentation says 1 Gig of memory minimum but it did not work and no other apps or drivers where installed. I found the system ran sluggish on a virtual machine and I could not account for the reason since 4 Gig of memory was alotted for a default install.
-It claims to security concsious but no option to verify the operating system from the menu
-I would expect a secure OS to omitt applications that are not required for security purposes or non essential like spottify
-I tried to run Lutris after install and an error came up stating it was missing libraries

-It claims to security ocncsious but no poption to verify the operating system from the menu
-I would expect a secure OS to omit applications that are not required like spotify
-tried to run Lutris after install and an error came up stating it was missing
-The menu system has a desktop at the bottom which is similiar to Mac's and it places weather information on the top menu which is an issue as it must know your location.
The OS is lightning fast and packed with a range of applications, from an office suite to an image editor. The user interface is intuitive and quite easy to navigate. Gnoppix is an excellent choice for both those just getting started with Linux and long-time users. It's reliable, secure, and has plenty of features to keep us users happy. All in all, Gnoppix 23.7 is a great operating system that provides users with plenty of features, and is a great choice for both new and experienced users. Last no least I love the Opensource AI Module. Thank you very much for it!

The installing of gnoppix was very fluid. The first thing I noticed was how fast and smooth the OS ran. Unusually fast for an 2.0 USB Sitck.
Then I was immediately reminded again that I deeply hate the Gnome desktop. But that's not the fault of the Gnoppix creators.
The change to to light modus don't worked satisfying.
I changed to german keyboard und connected the wlan. That's worked very fine.
Then came the very big astonishment:
There is the promise of "Enhance your privacy", but no preinstalled Tor Browser - why ????
There were two installed Browsers - Firefox ESR ( that's OK ) but the secound was the Edge from the dark side of the IT World - what the hell ????
This Gnoppix is faster and more fluid than Talis. I am not sure, if these two Thumb driven OS have the same goals and purposes.
For me self Gnoppix would more interessting with preinstalled Tor Browser and without the Edge from the dark side of the compurtworld.
In any case, this Linux distribution is so novel in its conception, and stands so uniquely in this forest of interchangeable arch and debian derivatives, that it deserves a review from Distrowatch as soon as possible.
Three points off because of the Edge.
At first I thought this had to be a joke , after the desktop only loading on half of the screen and only the dock buttons responding to any input I managed to get the application list to open to see what was pre installed. It is without a doubt the most random hodgepodge of software i have ever seen in a distro. For a distro using Gnome i dont understand why there is KDE system settings , and being based on debian why are there some ubuntu specific tools such software & updates. There is also 3 different firewalll managements tools, 2 bulk folders containing utterly random pentesting tools taken from another distro , and then kali linux tweaks on top of it? What is going on with this distro? It appears like something someone made using systemback after trying to smash together 5 different distros and only pulling bits and pieces from each into an incomplete selection or completely unrelated soiftware.
