|
The developer of Pearl Linux OS has published a new release of the project's Debian-based desktop Linux distribution with a macOS-like user interface called PDE: "Our second release running on Debian 13 'Trixie' as the base. This release uses our own desktop environment called PDE. PDE is a mix of LXDE and Xfce components with Compiz as the default window manager. This release is a ready-to-go, out-of-the-box complete desktop with all the software needed to keep most users set from the get-go. Pearl also has many of our own tools modeled after Linux Mints tools. This PDE release varies a little at the beginning as to not get confused when setting up things for the first time because of all the customizing available to the user we recommend." The README file contains a warning about the first boot: "The default PDE session is PDE-FX which is the session using Compiz by default. After instalation at login screen it defaults to Openbox unless you change this before logging in. Unless you are familiar with an Openbox system meaning, one that has nothing visible until right-clicking on the desktop, it's best to click the round logo next to where you enter your name, and change that to PDE which is one of three separate sessions available." Download (MD5) from SourceForge: pearl-13-PDE-desktop.iso (3,970MB, pkglist). |
