Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. 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.

 Hello, Noid is good distro and easy to install the os with the calamares, I tried a lot of distros based on void linux and i didn't get the job done but with noid there is no more easy to install the void linux,Thank's to Nassim CHETTAH, hope he worck's on more useful tools to make the os great, XPBS is powerful but we need a GUI package manager like octoxBPS and will support flatpack, snap, appimage all in one package manager, f there is a way to fetch package from other distros like bedrock it will be nice.
