CuerdOS


Last Update: 2025-07-06 14:30 UTC

CuerdOS is a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution with focus on stability, efficiency and performance. It comes with a series of optimisations, such as performance and memory consumption improvements. These optimisations are achieved through kernel patching and the Ananicy daemon, the latter of which manages input/output and CPU priorities. The distribution's "Standard" product uses Wayland's Sway compositor by default, but separate "Legacy" and "Community" builds with Budgie, Cinnamon, LXQt, MATE and Xfce desktops are also available.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 356 (16), 6 months: 333 (32), 3 months: 322 (39), 4 weeks: 325 (36), 1 week: 340 (32)

Average visitor rating: 8.5/10 from 2 review(s).

 I'm going to be honest and direct with my opinion: it's a fantastic distro with a bright future ahead of it. Its developers are always open to suggestions. I tried the legacy edition (which comes with Xfce), and the experience was very stable for a small distro. I would recommend it especially to people who need something that works well or who have a low-end machine. Its community editions are also very good and offer a wide variety of desktops for different types of people, which is great. It's an excellent distro. I congratulate the developers for caring about the end user.

 This is a quite refresing Distro. First because it's main propousal is a WM instead a Deskt enviroment. Sway it a good WM in Wayland if you like the simplycity and feel od i3. It comes ready to use with a little conky (cheatsheat) if you are new to it. So if you don´t want to configure it or just to do little work to customize a WM Distro is for you. Bauh as a sofware center and updater of the OS is a fantastic feature, simple, efficient and you can Include everything, from flatpacks, snaps...you name it. But the Itś got it´s own aestetic and feel different to other Debian base Distros and the optimization of the kernel is does great job, in performance and battery duration.
