I was looking for a distribution based on Debian but easier to use and a more "out of the box" experience. I was completely satisfied with Pardus. It's super easy to install, looks pretty nice and consistent. It has an excellent choice of software installed by default and a set of very useful tools. The software center is one of the best I've used and with the most common software available just a click away. All hardware works smoothly. I think Pardus is a top distribution, stable and very well done. One of the things that pleased me the most was seeing that despite Pardus being a distribution more targeted towards Turkish users, I noticed that the Portuguese language is also present throughout the system, including the tools developed by Pardus, being from Portugal, I found this a added value! congratulations to the Pardus team. For anyone in need of a debian-based distribution more easy to use, Pardus is probably one of the best distributions available.

Took it for a test drive and really was impressed with it. It's suitable for beginners and experienced users.
I tested it on an low spec laptop and it ran like a charm.
True, it's based on Debian stable and has rather older software. But it's stable and reliable as Debian goes, but also a pleasure to use en work with it. It runs fast and looks nice. It has his own, well balanced software center, and of course you can always use synaptic. So, no hassle to install what you need. It has a decent set of systems tools, without being bloated. Only minus point for me: firewall gufw is not installed by default. I hope the developers fix this in the next release.
In my opinion this is the best Debian bases distro I used, and it's good looking too. The developers really did a good job. It's a shame Pardus is not in the top ten of the rankings and that reviewers don't give it much attention.
Want a user friendly Debian base? Look no further.

I have been using this distro for a week as my main machine now. I hopped to Pardus from Arch Linux since unstable packages caused me a lot of headache. This was not the first time I tried using Pardus but it was the longest. On GUI side, this distro is incredibly smooth to use. There is a nice software center and simple yet nice looking icons out of the box. Installation process was also great. It asked me things that I certainly require or nice to have. Everything complicated was hidden from me and I liked this approach.

Software center is great. There are no long cache retrieval durations, no buggy process bars, no random crashes, etc. I'm not sure if this is because the Pardus servers are near me but I can say that they work great, at least for me. There are many proprietary software included in the repos. Although one might argue that this shouldn't be the case but end-user loves such things. After installing pardus, I had a zoom meeting an hour later and I totally forgot installing the app. I confidently opened the software center and typed "zoom". The app was there, ready for me to install. I checked out the store for a while and noticed things like:
-Chrome, Opera, Brave, Edge, Spotify, Steam, Telegram, Discord, Skype, Slack, TeamViewer, some IDEs for developers...
I personally think these are great to have since most people would use at least one or two of these anyway. However, there are some major problems with other parts of the repo.

The repo is old. It's understandable for Debian to be old since Its main focus is on server stability. For end-users, however, this old repo is problematic. I found myself using third party package managers just to keep some packages up to date. Kernel is also in version 5.10. I think this should change in next releases. I don't expect it to be Arch level but I would appreciate newer packages.
