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 run biglinux_2024-11-01_k66 it's not listed the one listed you have to run echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf to look at ntfs drives . this one works right.the wine install works no screen flashing on games like the latest Debian systems .the only problem i have is running Nomachine as server sound not working as enterprise-client work great seams as fast as MX mint or peppermint. network the easiest to set up and share files manjaro can be a pain the latest one anyway I used Debian type 11 . Debian 12 when problems started with wine install SO Big linux is my go to now still use mint 5 lmde on server for nomachine sound

I really liked this Linux distribution. It recognized all my hardware right away, including accessories like a wireless mouse. The interface is very nice, and I loved the wallpapers! I found it very easy to use (I'm biased because I've been using Linux since 1994). I just didn't like the fact that BigLinux's visual package manager only allows you to install one package at a time, so I end up going to the terminal and installing it from there.

I was able to install Debian packages without any problems, I ran Steam games (which comes pre-installed), and I ran several programming IDEs, and I had no disappointments. I recommend it to everyone. It proved to be more stable than Arch and Manjaro for me.

The best linux distribution in the world, I'm sure of that. Design is perfect, program selection is perfect, operation is perfect, usability is perfect. It's stable, no problems with it. I recommend it to everyone regardless of age and gender, it provides a very good user experience. The wallpapers deserve ten points separately, they're just fantastic, they always make me feel good. The hardware recognition is great, with an i3 processor and 4 giga ram it goes very well on a notebook. I think I'll stop at this distribution, I won't look any further. I found the real one. :-)
