| Package Search |
Search the DistroWatch database for distributions using a particular package. If you are looking for a distribution with the latest kernel, select "linux" from the drop-down box below and type the version number into the text box next to it. Please note that the best way to obtain the GNOME version is by searching for "nautilus", while KDE Plasma is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package. Apache 2.x is listed as "httpd". As for versioning, if no version number is provided, this page will return any recent versions of the selected package. It is also possible to perform searches for distributions which do not contain a specific package. This returns a list of distributions where the given package is not present on the installation media.
The package version search offers the ability to search for packages which are close
to a specific version, exactly equal to a specific version, greater than or less than
a given version. The second field in the search form allows visitors to switch between
these relations. Most people will probably want to use the like option as it will
search for packages close to a given version. When no version is specified, like
finds packages close to the latest version.
This page can be used to display all distributions which contain a specific package
or version of a package. We also have search pages which display a
side-by-side comparison of all packages
between two distributions. We also provide a package which shows the version of a selected
package in all active distributions.
Have fun and let us know how we can improve the search engine!

| Search by Distribution Criteria (Simple Search Form) |
This section allows you to search for a particular distribution based on certain criteria. Select the criteria from the drop-down and check boxes below and hit the Submit Query button to get a list of known distributions that match your choice.
The following distributions match your criteria (sorted by popularity):
1. SparkyLinux (35)
SparkyLinux is a set of Debian-based desktop Linux distributions. The project provides separate editions with KDE Plasma, LXQt, MATE and Xfce desktops, as well as a lightweight flavour featuring the Openbox window manager. It offers two variants of its products - a conservative one based on Debian's "Stable" branch, and a more up-to-date one derived from Debian "Testing".
2. HackerOS (50)
HackerOS is a live Linux distribution based on Debian's "Testing" branch and designed for regular users, gamers and cybersecurity enthusiasts. Some of its features include an optimised XanMod Linux kernel for faster boot times and reduced resource usage, out-of-the-box support for NVIDIA graphics cards, and a collection of cybersecurity tools, such as enhanced firewalls and intrusion detection software. The distribution uses the KDE Plasma desktop.
3. Mabox Linux (91)
Mabox Linux is a Manjaro-based rolling-release distribution. It features the Openbox window manager as its default user interface and provides a welcome screen with access to utilities which add additional software to the operating system.
4. Qubes OS (92)
Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes. These qubes are implemented as virtual machines (VMs). This allows each component of the operating system to be isolated from other pieces, preventing compromises from spreading or information from leaking.
5. 4MLinux (109)
4MLinux is a miniature Linux distribution focusing on four capabilities: maintenance (as a system rescue live CD), multimedia (for playing video DVDs and other multimedia files), miniserver (using the inetd daemon), and mystery (providing several small Linux games). The distribution includes support for booting on UEFI-enabled machines.
6. Linux Q83 (147)
Linux Q83 is a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch. Depending on the edition, it comes either with the Cinnamon desktop environment (a fork of GNOME created by Linux Mint), or COSMIC (a modern graphical desktop interface written in the Rust programming language, developed by System76). The distribution is available for Raspberry Pi and Radxa Orion O6 single-board computers, as well as standard desktops and workstations. Linux Q83 also comes with its own lightweight and resource-efficient web browser called W3.
7. PLD Linux Distribution (444)
PLD Linux Distribution is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution, aimed at the more advanced users and administrators, who accept the trade-offs of using a system that might require manual tweaking in exchange for flexibility. Simultaneous support for a wide variety of architectures and non-conservative approach to RPM usage provide the users with a consistent environment on almost all available architectures.
8. CookieOS (457)
CookieOS is a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch. The project provides a small live image that boots into a minimalist Xfce desktop and starts the Calamares system installer. On first boot after installation, the CookieOS Welcome wizard offers the user to select a desktop environment (Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE and Xfce), web browser (Chrome, Firefox, LibreWolf) and other applications for online installation. The distribution also integrates various custom utilities with self-explanatory names, such as CookieOS Customizer, CookieOS Updater and CookieOS Package Manager.
