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.

If every Mint, MX Linux or EndeavourOS users discover that Pardus exist will migrate inmediatly without think twice, this a distribution simple to use for every new Linux user that migrated from Windows, even advance Linux users will love it, Pardus work out of the box and have their own set of tools, from a simple USB Formatter to its own .deb packages installer and update system. After tried a lot of distrributions based on Debian without hesitate i think that this is the best one i found.

Pardus seems like the best debian based distro with its own set of tools which work very well. I tried many different distros over the years for newbies and alike, Pardus is so far the best deal for people like me. I am aware that the distros like Slackware, Alpine, Void, Arch etc are very good ones, but the users who migrate from windows who just want to use their computers without going into details I think Pardus is one of the best. So far I am very happy with this distro, and I trust it more than most other available distros since I know a research institute behind it has capacity to make sure that bugs and vulnerabilities are found/removed. I do recommend this distro any one especially to new users to Linux.

A pleasant surprise. After many times of trying different Linux distributions —including Zorin OS, which had been my favorite until now— I was genuinely surprised by Pardus. It’s a stable, smooth, and well-optimized distro, perfect for both everyday use and professional environments. You can really tell there’s serious work behind it. Everything runs with a fluidity I didn’t expect, and the desktop environment is clean and distraction-free.

Installation was straightforward, performance is excellent even on modest hardware, and best of all — no unnecessary complications. Pardus has quickly climbed up my personal ranking. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
