Robolinux


Last Update: 2024-02-02 02:44 UTC


Robolinux is a user-friendly and intuitive operating system based on the latest long term support release of Ubuntu. One of the project's more interesting features is the availability of a pre-configured virtual machine support pack with Windows XP or Windows 7 - a VirtualBox setup which allows the user to install and run the Windows operating system seamlessly alongside Robolinux. This is an optional add-on that must be downloaded from the project's online store.

I use mate version and t just works and looks excellent. It's very stable and elegant while retaining the resemblance to Windows OS so you don't need to sacrifice your current familiarity with the desktop layout; its very beginner friendly.

No problems during or after the installation process. Localization is perfect. Be sure to apply all updates. System settings are extensive, so you can tailor your system as you like. The most useful apps come preinstalled. No cons so far. This might be the distribution you are looking for.

So, it just works. What more can you ask for. A+

Robolinux is one of the best distributions I've used.
When I install it, I know everything will work and I'll have a dependable and light desktop (xfce).
I've never experienced any crashes or major issues that weren't a result of something I did.

Agree with the people who said that it's an underrated distro! I've already used Robolinux on both old (a 2005 HP Desktop) and newer (a 2016 HP notebook) machines and it was always thoroughly reliable and solid. The XFCE DE is awesome: fast, simple & cosy!

I switched to Robolinux a couple of years ago from another distribution. The reason for this was that I wanted to get rid of Windows, but the first distribution I tried turned out to be too difficult for me to use. I also needed a few windows programs because I couldn't find a similar linux program. I then found Robolinux with a Google search. It has proven to be very functional and stable in use. All peripherals and phones work flawlessly with it. I also use the plus package to support the project. Robolinux has one advantage over large distributions. Although it doesn't have its own forum, you can quickly get help directly from its developer. For me, Robolinux has been a working solution and I have particularly appreciated its security programs and the new browser.
