Nitrux is a Linux distribution based on Debian's Unstable (sid) branch with additional packages pulled in from Ubuntu LTS repositories. Nitrux strives to be a distribution suitable for laptops and desktop computers. Its main desktop environment is NX Desktop, a KDE Plasma desktop enhanced with "plasmoids" to create a special blend of aesthetics and functionality. The project also focuses on using redistributable, portable applications using the AppImage format. Registration with an e-mail address was required to download this distribution, however public downloads have been available since mid-2020.

Nice distro... sleek, beautifully designed with aesthetic lines. Responsive and ready to use. Only the NX software center offers a very limited .appimage packages. Very hard indeed to convert a deb ( the same file Debian uses and ironically on which it derives directly ) file to this distribution format I might try Bluestar Linux instead...boldly different but with an array of installable software right OOTB...Modicia is also a great OS...A personal choice because I like to cram the system with apps...

Nitrux 2.7.1

Nitrux does not try to copy other distributions. He is different. It is original and its own. The visual appeal of this desktop is exceptional. It stands above other distros when it comes to aesthetics and beauty. Nitrux is a Linux desktop distribution based on Debian. It uses the Calamares installer and includes NX Desktop built on the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment and MauiKit Applications. Nitrux also does not use systemd as its init system; instead, it uses OpenRC. I'm giving this distribution a 10 because I think it's underrated.

It looks good and has some interesting tweaks made on it , the terminal is called station and has no apt package manager installed, it has an app called NX Software center and an option to download an app image called APP outlet that supposedly helps you install from snap and flathub, if only that was the case, it does not work and I can't identify my package manager... Now visually it looks interesting, it has some apps in store, it doesn't come with the typical debian ''not in sudoers group" error which is always a good thing, installer was easy to navigate through, very few apps are preinstalled on the system, it will do the job for most people, firefox works, chromium does not in virtualbox. system is usable but kinda slow.I could not install neofetch sadly, I know it is based on debian rolling, but still it's quite unstable, try it in a VM if you want, but something like normal ubuntu, manjaro or even deepin os will be more stable for hardware install as of today.
