It offers great stability. Everything has been thought of for the end user. The software store is very fast and works great. They offer customized software for themselves. It's nice that it comes with both GNOME and XFCE desktop options. If you have good hardware, go for GNOME. Both desktops offer a great experience. The customer service and support when you need it is very good. I've been using it since the very early versions and I'm happy with it. I would have liked to have the KDE desktop option, but I can say that I had some minor difficulties in terms of some of my habits.

It is a distribution that lags behind because it uses the stable version of Debian. All software included is 2 years old. Even though we warned the distribution owners many times, they do not innovate at all. Yes, this distribution is made in my own country, but it is a distribution that I would never install on my computer. If one day he gives up his stubbornness and follows the innovations, I may consider reinstalling it, but in this state it will continue to be used only in government institutions. It cannot reach the end user. Hey pardus, are you open to criticism?

Terrible... I couldn't connect my bluetooth headset in any way. He has closed source software in his warehouse. It does not comply with the Linux principles. Lightdm problems are happening a lot, the screen goes back and forth sometimes. Although there are solutions to the problems, these solutions are not integrated into the system by the developers.
No one has responded to the problems I have written on the Pardus Forum, there is no concept of community. I wanted to inform the developers about the solutions to the problems, but I couldn't reach the developers in any way.

Excelente alternativa a debian y linux mint.
Tiene synaptic de vastos repositorios.
Instalacion rapida y facil. Distribucion con xfce ligera.
Instale los paquetes con apt. Despues instale xanmod.
Una vez mas configurada opte por instalar cinnamon.
Reacciona rapido a los clicks. Me gusto. Tambien probe su prima Pisi. Pero de pocos paquetes.
Sin duda es una excelente distro, pero se tiene que hacer destacar, me gustaria una opcion con sysv o runit.
Tiene potencial futuro aunque debe evitar parecerse a devuan.
No le vi ninguna consecuencia, es estable como debian. Es divertido personalizarla.

Even though Pardus 23 has been released, version 21 is still the best for me.
Its reactions and intuition are the best among the distributions I've tried.
Pardus responds the quickest to click
lightweight, fast and based on stable branch of debia
These are enough for me.
Pardus 21 is one of the best options for old computers.
Of course, since it was developed for public institutions, you need to delete a few programs that you do not need.
Once you've resolved these, you don't need to do anything else.

I used the 23rd creature and the system opened quickly.
Since my computer is old, Gnome and Xfce were weighing down the system.
I downloaded Pardus server and installed it minimum lxde
I installed the programs I wanted and knew were useful.
added keyboard shortcuts that are not on the lxde desktop.
for example ctrl Alt and F1 to open a terminal
I've installed a few nice themes and icon packs.
lxde doesn't look that old anymore
On the contrary, it looks very beautiful.
debian's stability
reliability of pardus
lightness of lxde

When these three are combined, perhaps the fastest, lightest and most stable operating system on the market emerges.
Among the many options offered by Parsus, having a server option is the best for me.

It is a distro project of Turkiye Republic. This distro clean than many others distros like Ubuntu.
This distro offers you a user friendly graphical desktop and a fast operation system. Because of this Turkiye Government loves this distro using it at government computers.
Why Turkiye does not using othe distros? Like Ubuntu?.. It is actually so easy. At Pardus in many cases they have their server (Like Pardus Store). It is benefit for national data, and Pardus's configs are especially edited for government officers and jobs (A normal user cant comprehend the difference of configs. It is so technical.). It has a special store for users.
Pardus is a really a good start for Windows users which they think start to linux. Because Pardus is clean, user friendly and like many distros it is debian based.
I definitely can recommend this distro to new users.
Easy, Fast and User Friendly!

It has an innovative and very nice design and works well on standard equipped computers.
I liked it very much. It is worth using.
There are Xfce and Gnome options, but I think Desktop environments should be increased and there should be more options.
Unnecessary programs should be removed and the user should install them himself if he wishes.
DDE
KDE
LXDE
i3
Elementary DD
Must Have Desktop Environments Options Like
Pardus Store Should Have More Applications
Customization Options Should Be Increased

xfce desktop was originally designed to be lightweight
But each distribution filled it in and eventually turned it into a heavy desktop with xfce, which was supposed to be light.
Whether Linux mint or mx linux, they all did this.
But Pardus did not fill it with unnecessary junk.
xfce keeps the simplicity and lightness of the desktop
This gave Pardus intuitiveness and speed compared to other distributions.
It was faster and more stable than many distributions I've tried.
It is a Linux distribution that is both flashy and simple.
It has a nice and cool looking store where you can keep track of your updates and easily download programs.
It is very simple to use and is as stable as it is simple.
If you are tired of popular distributions and their problems
I think you should give it a chance
I loved
you like it too

Version 23 of Pardus elevates it even higher as a beginner-friendly and polished distro. It has the polish of Ubuntu and a more stable Debian base, without Ubuntu's awful snaps. With version 23 the GNOME flavour of Pardus has become also a good competitor to ZorinOS, as it features a revamped welcome screen with a layout switcher, which includes 6 layouts, unlike ZorinOS which locks half of them behind a paywall. This in turn makes you spend less time downloading extensions and configuring your interface. The version of GNOME it comes with is 43.6 with a default theme, which I do think is a nice theme, and it's worth noting that Gnome has become very difficult to theme yourself.
In general, you barely notice any differences under the hood, because Pardus 23 works as flawlessly as Pardus 21.5 did. Most of the changes you will notice are visual and QoL improvements. And in these aspects, it excels, coming with simple and coherent UI and just enough custom tools to make your life easier without overwhelming you (MX Linux, I'm looking at you).
The Software Center has strangely lost a few applications compared to the previous versions, but still remains one of the best I've seen. Unfortunately, Flatpak is still not pre-installed. Although some people might prefer it this way.
There isn't much else to say about this release, as it simply continues to deliver the most stable and user-friendly experience that just works out of the box, further solidifying Pardus as the best choice for an average user.

Pardus Linux is a real eye-opener. I’ve been looking across the board for a really simple but usable Linux distribution. And of of course straight forward to install and set-up etc. This must be a preliminary report but Pardus Linux is so very impressive in these areas and rock-solid given the above constraints. It says here that I have to offer more text comments as we need 250 characters. There is so much to say about the difference between the impression you get when installing and initially using Pardus Linux. But, I would recommend anybody that doesn't have a great deal of time to adjust to certain ways, to try this distribution.

Pardus is a find. This is certainly a brilliantly crafted distribution. A wonderful version of Debian based Gnome.
Lots of pros to expound on. Highlighted within: Boot time for a Gnome variant is by far faster than any others tried in past. Has tried many of Gnome variants to come to this conclusion. Promptness of applications. These load faster than pretty much anything else out there. Stability is probably the strongest asset of Pardus. Rock solid. More so than other Debian based distributions. Very simple and intuitive layout. Prob. the easiest used for installing programmes. Even in a live settings.
Cons. None to speak out. It's a winner.

This is a review of the Gnome version. There is also an Xfce version available.
After being disappointed with the last few versions of Linux Mint and the state of the Cinnamon desktop, I decided to switch to Gnome as my DE. I've never been much of a fan of Gnome, but after the bugginess of KDE and the last few versions of Cinnamon, as well as the general jankiness of other desktops, I've decided to settle on Gnome. In addition, I require a Debian base because I have a slow internet connection, so I would prefer less updates. Of course, I couldn't use Ubuntu either because Snaps update automatically (which is not only inconvenient for me, but also disgusting from the perspective of user freedom).
I tried using plain Debian, but it turned out to be too much work for me. I wanted something user-friendly, like Linux Mint or Ubuntu. There seem to be very few Debian-based distros with Gnome, and most of them are not very user-friendly. After a long search, I finally found Pardus.
Pardus is an excellent distro. Probably the best one out there. Everything just works out of the box, both the DE and the Debian base. It has plenty of tools, such as Power Manager, Image Writer, Java Installer and USB Formatter. It also has a Welcome screen that helps you set up a wallpaper, theme, scaling and introduces keyboard shortcuts to you. The Gnome desktop is modified here to closer resemble Ubuntu, which is great for someone like me who doesn't particularly like the vanilla workflow of Gnome. They even have a Computer icon on the desktop, which is a custom application with links to drives and folders that resembles the Windows' Computer folder.
The developers paid so much attention to detail that even the text under desktop icons has proper shadows, which is something most distros do not have, and it always drives me crazy. Windows has had shadows since 98 days, but most DEs and the distros that ship with them either don't have them at all or have very weak ones. KDE is the only desktop that has those shadows by default and strong enough, so KDE distros usually don't have that problem, but all the other ones continue to have it. So this was such a pleasant surprise to see that the Pardus devs paid attention to this aspect.
The pre-installed applications are the sanest defaults. Mostly just the regular Gnome suite of applications; no Thai terminals, Dictionaries or other weird stuff that vanilla Debian ships with. The Pardus Software Center is probably the best I've seen. Incredible amount of available applications. I've installed all of my usual applications, and the only one I had to go into the browser for was Waterfox. It unfortunately does not have Flatpak pre-installed, but you can install a Flatpak store (forked from Elementary store) right from the Pardus Software Center. I did it and installed a Whatsapp from it, and it worked perfectly. In restrospect, I could also install Waterfox from there if I knew about it at the time. So, with the Flatpak store combined, you get pretty much anything you'd ever want right from the Software Center.
I can't praise this distro enough. This is truly an Ubuntu-killer in my book. If you like Ubuntu but hate Snaps, this distro is for you. It seems on their website, they also have a Server version, an Edu version and an ETAP (which I think is electricity management software) version. This seems like a pretty serious distro that has plans to stay, and the devs seem to put in an incredible amount of work into it. I highly recommend it, and hope it becomes more popular, as I think it deserves to be spoken about in the same conversations as Mint and Ubuntu, as I think it's better than either of them as a general-use beginner-friendly distro.

I was looking for a distribution based on Debian but easier to use and a more "out of the box" experience. I was completely satisfied with Pardus. It's super easy to install, looks pretty nice and consistent. It has an excellent choice of software installed by default and a set of very useful tools. The software center is one of the best I've used and with the most common software available just a click away. All hardware works smoothly. I think Pardus is a top distribution, stable and very well done. One of the things that pleased me the most was seeing that despite Pardus being a distribution more targeted towards Turkish users, I noticed that the Portuguese language is also present throughout the system, including the tools developed by Pardus, being from Portugal, I found this a added value! congratulations to the Pardus team. For anyone in need of a debian-based distribution more easy to use, Pardus is probably one of the best distributions available.

Took it for a test drive and really was impressed with it. It's suitable for beginners and experienced users.
I tested it on an low spec laptop and it ran like a charm.
True, it's based on Debian stable and has rather older software. But it's stable and reliable as Debian goes, but also a pleasure to use en work with it. It runs fast and looks nice. It has his own, well balanced software center, and of course you can always use synaptic. So, no hassle to install what you need. It has a decent set of systems tools, without being bloated. Only minus point for me: firewall gufw is not installed by default. I hope the developers fix this in the next release.
In my opinion this is the best Debian bases distro I used, and it's good looking too. The developers really did a good job. It's a shame Pardus is not in the top ten of the rankings and that reviewers don't give it much attention.
Want a user friendly Debian base? Look no further.

I have been using this distro for a week as my main machine now. I hopped to Pardus from Arch Linux since unstable packages caused me a lot of headache. This was not the first time I tried using Pardus but it was the longest. On GUI side, this distro is incredibly smooth to use. There is a nice software center and simple yet nice looking icons out of the box. Installation process was also great. It asked me things that I certainly require or nice to have. Everything complicated was hidden from me and I liked this approach.
Software center is great. There are no long cache retrieval durations, no buggy process bars, no random crashes, etc. I'm not sure if this is because the Pardus servers are near me but I can say that they work great, at least for me. There are many proprietary software included in the repos. Although one might argue that this shouldn't be the case but end-user loves such things. After installing pardus, I had a zoom meeting an hour later and I totally forgot installing the app. I confidently opened the software center and typed "zoom". The app was there, ready for me to install. I checked out the store for a while and noticed things like:
-Chrome, Opera, Brave, Edge, Spotify, Steam, Telegram, Discord, Skype, Slack, TeamViewer, some IDEs for developers...
I personally think these are great to have since most people would use at least one or two of these anyway. However, there are some major problems with other parts of the repo.
The repo is old. It's understandable for Debian to be old since Its main focus is on server stability. For end-users, however, this old repo is problematic. I found myself using third party package managers just to keep some packages up to date. Kernel is also in version 5.10. I think this should change in next releases. I don't expect it to be Arch level but I would appreciate newer packages.

I don't understand why Pardus isn't used so much.
Once installed everything is ready to use without counting the stability of the system based on Debian,
Updating from one version to another is done simply and graphically.
Very fast, stable and secure
A lot of software is included.
You don't have to make many settings that need to be done after installation and this saves you time.
You just install and run it, it's that simple. I give 10 points out of 10.
This distribution deserves to be better known.

I tried to use Debian because I had enough of Ubuntu nonsense and distros based on it. The problem was that Debian is not that straightforward for users like me. On top of that I didn't want to waste time tweaking a OS as I prefer to get things done.
Pardus is the perfect distro for me: lite, based on XFCE and Debian and with a gorgeous out-of-the-box experience. All the tools you need are already there.
The software centre is great, there is also a 'repo' button to add extra repositories and I could also suggest what apps they should add with a press of a button. Plus you can update Pardus from a main distro to the next main distro without installing the OS from the beginning.
Fast, reliable and easy to use.
My distrohopping is over.
I would definitely suggest you to have a look at Pardus.

A very fast and secure Linux distribution. Easy to use. Latest XFCE software. A distro worth trying. Give it a chance once. Being Debian-based, it allows to install many applications simply. Since the GNOME version distribution uses version 3.38, I do not recommend the GNOME version, but be sure to try the XFCE version. is also extremely stable. You don't have to make many settings that need to be done after installation and this saves you time. its clean and fresh distro. you can just focus on what you run your pc for.

Since the GNOME version distribution uses version 3.38, I do not recommend the GNOME version, but be sure to try the XFCE version. The default language of the distribution is Turkish, but you can choose the English language option and use it. There is no problem with this. Since the time I have used Pardus, I have not faced any problems. For this reason, I would like to thank the developers of Pardus.

It is a distro project of Turkiye Republic. This distro clean than many others distros like Ubuntu.
This distro offers you a user friendly graphical desktop and a fast operation system. Because of this Turkiye Government loves this distro using it at government computers.
Why Turkiye does not using othe distros? Like Ubuntu?.. It is actually so easy. At Pardus in many cases they have their server (Like Pardus Store). It is benefit for national data, and Pardus's configs are especially edited for government officers and jobs (A normal user cant comprehend the difference of configs. It is so technical.). It has a special store for users.
Pardus is a really a good start for Windows users which they think start to linux. Because Pardus is clean, user friendly and like many distros it is debian based.
I definitely can recommend this distro to new users.
Easy, Fast and User Friendly!

It has an innovative and very nice design and works well on standard equipped computers.
I liked it very much. It is worth using.
There are Xfce and Gnome options, but I think Desktop environments should be increased and there should be more options.
Unnecessary programs should be removed and the user should install them himself if he wishes.
DDE
KDE
LXDE
i3
Elementary DD
Must Have Desktop Environments Options Like
Pardus Store Should Have More Applications
Customization Options Should Be Increased

xfce desktop was originally designed to be lightweight
But each distribution filled it in and eventually turned it into a heavy desktop with xfce, which was supposed to be light.
Whether Linux mint or mx linux, they all did this.
But Pardus did not fill it with unnecessary junk.
xfce keeps the simplicity and lightness of the desktop
This gave Pardus intuitiveness and speed compared to other distributions.
It was faster and more stable than many distributions I've tried.
It is a Linux distribution that is both flashy and simple.
It has a nice and cool looking store where you can keep track of your updates and easily download programs.
It is very simple to use and is as stable as it is simple.
If you are tired of popular distributions and their problems
I think you should give it a chance
I loved
you like it too

Version 23 of Pardus elevates it even higher as a beginner-friendly and polished distro. It has the polish of Ubuntu and a more stable Debian base, without Ubuntu's awful snaps. With version 23 the GNOME flavour of Pardus has become also a good competitor to ZorinOS, as it features a revamped welcome screen with a layout switcher, which includes 6 layouts, unlike ZorinOS which locks half of them behind a paywall. This in turn makes you spend less time downloading extensions and configuring your interface. The version of GNOME it comes with is 43.6 with a default theme, which I do think is a nice theme, and it's worth noting that Gnome has become very difficult to theme yourself.
In general, you barely notice any differences under the hood, because Pardus 23 works as flawlessly as Pardus 21.5 did. Most of the changes you will notice are visual and QoL improvements. And in these aspects, it excels, coming with simple and coherent UI and just enough custom tools to make your life easier without overwhelming you (MX Linux, I'm looking at you).
The Software Center has strangely lost a few applications compared to the previous versions, but still remains one of the best I've seen. Unfortunately, Flatpak is still not pre-installed. Although some people might prefer it this way.
There isn't much else to say about this release, as it simply continues to deliver the most stable and user-friendly experience that just works out of the box, further solidifying Pardus as the best choice for an average user.

Pardus is a find. This is certainly a brilliantly crafted distribution. A wonderful version of Debian based Gnome.
Lots of pros to expound on. Highlighted within: Boot time for a Gnome variant is by far faster than any others tried in past. Has tried many of Gnome variants to come to this conclusion. Promptness of applications. These load faster than pretty much anything else out there. Stability is probably the strongest asset of Pardus. Rock solid. More so than other Debian based distributions. Very simple and intuitive layout. Prob. the easiest used for installing programmes. Even in a live settings.
Cons. None to speak out. It's a winner.

Pardus Linux is a real eye-opener. I’ve been looking across the board for a really simple but usable Linux distribution. And of of course straight forward to install and set-up etc. This must be a preliminary report but Pardus Linux is so very impressive in these areas and rock-solid given the above constraints. It says here that I have to offer more text comments as we need 250 characters. There is so much to say about the difference between the impression you get when installing and initially using Pardus Linux. But, I would recommend anybody that doesn't have a great deal of time to adjust to certain ways, to try this distribution.

This is a review of the Gnome version. There is also an Xfce version available.
After being disappointed with the last few versions of Linux Mint and the state of the Cinnamon desktop, I decided to switch to Gnome as my DE. I've never been much of a fan of Gnome, but after the bugginess of KDE and the last few versions of Cinnamon, as well as the general jankiness of other desktops, I've decided to settle on Gnome. In addition, I require a Debian base because I have a slow internet connection, so I would prefer less updates. Of course, I couldn't use Ubuntu either because Snaps update automatically (which is not only inconvenient for me, but also disgusting from the perspective of user freedom).
I tried using plain Debian, but it turned out to be too much work for me. I wanted something user-friendly, like Linux Mint or Ubuntu. There seem to be very few Debian-based distros with Gnome, and most of them are not very user-friendly. After a long search, I finally found Pardus.
Pardus is an excellent distro. Probably the best one out there. Everything just works out of the box, both the DE and the Debian base. It has plenty of tools, such as Power Manager, Image Writer, Java Installer and USB Formatter. It also has a Welcome screen that helps you set up a wallpaper, theme, scaling and introduces keyboard shortcuts to you. The Gnome desktop is modified here to closer resemble Ubuntu, which is great for someone like me who doesn't particularly like the vanilla workflow of Gnome. They even have a Computer icon on the desktop, which is a custom application with links to drives and folders that resembles the Windows' Computer folder.
The developers paid so much attention to detail that even the text under desktop icons has proper shadows, which is something most distros do not have, and it always drives me crazy. Windows has had shadows since 98 days, but most DEs and the distros that ship with them either don't have them at all or have very weak ones. KDE is the only desktop that has those shadows by default and strong enough, so KDE distros usually don't have that problem, but all the other ones continue to have it. So this was such a pleasant surprise to see that the Pardus devs paid attention to this aspect.
The pre-installed applications are the sanest defaults. Mostly just the regular Gnome suite of applications; no Thai terminals, Dictionaries or other weird stuff that vanilla Debian ships with. The Pardus Software Center is probably the best I've seen. Incredible amount of available applications. I've installed all of my usual applications, and the only one I had to go into the browser for was Waterfox. It unfortunately does not have Flatpak pre-installed, but you can install a Flatpak store (forked from Elementary store) right from the Pardus Software Center. I did it and installed a Whatsapp from it, and it worked perfectly. In restrospect, I could also install Waterfox from there if I knew about it at the time. So, with the Flatpak store combined, you get pretty much anything you'd ever want right from the Software Center.
I can't praise this distro enough. This is truly an Ubuntu-killer in my book. If you like Ubuntu but hate Snaps, this distro is for you. It seems on their website, they also have a Server version, an Edu version and an ETAP (which I think is electricity management software) version. This seems like a pretty serious distro that has plans to stay, and the devs seem to put in an incredible amount of work into it. I highly recommend it, and hope it becomes more popular, as I think it deserves to be spoken about in the same conversations as Mint and Ubuntu, as I think it's better than either of them as a general-use beginner-friendly distro.

I was looking for a distribution based on Debian but easier to use and a more "out of the box" experience. I was completely satisfied with Pardus. It's super easy to install, looks pretty nice and consistent. It has an excellent choice of software installed by default and a set of very useful tools. The software center is one of the best I've used and with the most common software available just a click away. All hardware works smoothly. I think Pardus is a top distribution, stable and very well done. One of the things that pleased me the most was seeing that despite Pardus being a distribution more targeted towards Turkish users, I noticed that the Portuguese language is also present throughout the system, including the tools developed by Pardus, being from Portugal, I found this a added value! congratulations to the Pardus team. For anyone in need of a debian-based distribution more easy to use, Pardus is probably one of the best distributions available.

Took it for a test drive and really was impressed with it. It's suitable for beginners and experienced users.
I tested it on an low spec laptop and it ran like a charm.
True, it's based on Debian stable and has rather older software. But it's stable and reliable as Debian goes, but also a pleasure to use en work with it. It runs fast and looks nice. It has his own, well balanced software center, and of course you can always use synaptic. So, no hassle to install what you need. It has a decent set of systems tools, without being bloated. Only minus point for me: firewall gufw is not installed by default. I hope the developers fix this in the next release.
In my opinion this is the best Debian bases distro I used, and it's good looking too. The developers really did a good job. It's a shame Pardus is not in the top ten of the rankings and that reviewers don't give it much attention.
Want a user friendly Debian base? Look no further.

I have been using this distro for a week as my main machine now. I hopped to Pardus from Arch Linux since unstable packages caused me a lot of headache. This was not the first time I tried using Pardus but it was the longest. On GUI side, this distro is incredibly smooth to use. There is a nice software center and simple yet nice looking icons out of the box. Installation process was also great. It asked me things that I certainly require or nice to have. Everything complicated was hidden from me and I liked this approach.
Software center is great. There are no long cache retrieval durations, no buggy process bars, no random crashes, etc. I'm not sure if this is because the Pardus servers are near me but I can say that they work great, at least for me. There are many proprietary software included in the repos. Although one might argue that this shouldn't be the case but end-user loves such things. After installing pardus, I had a zoom meeting an hour later and I totally forgot installing the app. I confidently opened the software center and typed "zoom". The app was there, ready for me to install. I checked out the store for a while and noticed things like:
-Chrome, Opera, Brave, Edge, Spotify, Steam, Telegram, Discord, Skype, Slack, TeamViewer, some IDEs for developers...
I personally think these are great to have since most people would use at least one or two of these anyway. However, there are some major problems with other parts of the repo.
The repo is old. It's understandable for Debian to be old since Its main focus is on server stability. For end-users, however, this old repo is problematic. I found myself using third party package managers just to keep some packages up to date. Kernel is also in version 5.10. I think this should change in next releases. I don't expect it to be Arch level but I would appreciate newer packages.

I don't understand why Pardus isn't used so much.
Once installed everything is ready to use without counting the stability of the system based on Debian,
Updating from one version to another is done simply and graphically.
Very fast, stable and secure
A lot of software is included.
You don't have to make many settings that need to be done after installation and this saves you time.
You just install and run it, it's that simple. I give 10 points out of 10.
This distribution deserves to be better known.

I tried to use Debian because I had enough of Ubuntu nonsense and distros based on it. The problem was that Debian is not that straightforward for users like me. On top of that I didn't want to waste time tweaking a OS as I prefer to get things done.
Pardus is the perfect distro for me: lite, based on XFCE and Debian and with a gorgeous out-of-the-box experience. All the tools you need are already there.
The software centre is great, there is also a 'repo' button to add extra repositories and I could also suggest what apps they should add with a press of a button. Plus you can update Pardus from a main distro to the next main distro without installing the OS from the beginning.
Fast, reliable and easy to use.
My distrohopping is over.
I would definitely suggest you to have a look at Pardus.

A very fast and secure Linux distribution. Easy to use. Latest XFCE software. A distro worth trying. Give it a chance once. Being Debian-based, it allows to install many applications simply. Since the GNOME version distribution uses version 3.38, I do not recommend the GNOME version, but be sure to try the XFCE version. is also extremely stable. You don't have to make many settings that need to be done after installation and this saves you time. its clean and fresh distro. you can just focus on what you run your pc for.

The default language of the distribution is Turkish, but you can choose the English language option and use it. There is no problem with this. Since the time I have used Pardus, I have not faced any problems. For this reason, I would like to thank the developers of Pardus.
