#ViernesDeEscritorio desde una iMac de 2011, rescatada y mejorada con Elive Linux.
#Elive
Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.
I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.
View the list here: https://codeberg.org/resplendent606/terminal-tilt/src/branch/main/docs/debian-distros.md
Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.
Daily Drivers (Ease of use):
LMDE - Linux Mint + Debian, no Ubuntu, Mint polish
MX Linux - MXTools is helpful
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured desktop, from China.

SpiralLinux – Pure Debian with modern defaults (Btrfs, ZRAM).
SolydXK – Simplified XFCE/KDE desktops for stability.
Lingmo OS / Mauna Linux / Br OS - Recent, beautiful desktops (China/Brazil)
Modern/Atomic (Immutable):
Vanilla OS - Atomic updates, can run Fedora/Arch apps via Apx.
blendOS - Atomic, lets you choose DE (KDE, XFCE, etc), can install applications from other Linux distros.

Window Maker Live - 90s NeXTSTEP look, fast, retro.
Puppy Linux (DPup) - Runes entirely on RAM, fast.
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Damn Small Linux - Stays under 700MB.
wattOS - Low power consumption and simplicity.
Q4OS – Trinity desktop, can mimic Windows XP/7.
Commodore OS Vision - Retro computing aesthetic.
Security, Privacy, and Stealth:
Qubes OS - Isolates everything inside Xen VMs, has Debian and Fedora as default templates.
Tails - Amnesic "Snowden" OS, leaves no trace on hardware.
Whonix - Extreme privacy via dual-VM gateway/workstation.
Kodachi - Hardened, pre-routed live OS alternative to Tails.
Septor – Surf the web anonymously.
Kicksecure - Hardened Debian layer (the base for Whonix).

@ja_nube ¡ya! Es un escritorio bastante diferente a todo, eso me gusta. Lo he usado con la distro #Elive, aunque me parece divertido, lo siento algo pesado luego de un rato de trabajo. Tengo la teoría de que es el entorno que usan para las pantallas de muchas producciones de televisión y cine, especialmente del género de ciencia ficción y súper héroes.
🐧 :debian: Elive 3.8.44 released ✅
Just like Makulu Linux recently - Elive supports BOTH Snap / Flatpak by default - select during install. Becoming a trend?
◉Lightweight type Linux especially for older PC's - modern experience
◉Rock solid Debian Linux -base
◉Firmware updates from Debian Testing
◉Improved proofreading
◉Enlightenment desktop 16
◉2 kernels / updated drivers ◉Optional 64bit

Elive Linux 3.8.44 has been released
https://www.opensourcefeed.org/elive-3844-release/
Did some theming for Enlightenment E26 to make it more #Elive #Retrowave compliant. E16 has gone as far as it can and now it's time to move on to the latest #enlightenment and upgrade #EliveLinux as it always brings along the latest git-version available.
I made a small Howto here:
https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/howto-make-e26-look-coherent-with-e16-retrowave
#linux #Debian #bookworm
@TheEvilSkeleton And then there's #Elive that has "impermutable mode" as a boot mode. That's where all local changes will be lost after a reboot. A nice way to do quick, worry-free tests (Yes even "sudo rm -rf /" :😂 ) and have your system spared and clutter free.
It's for us lazy people who hate back-stepping and repairing.😇
@GoddessPeach Try this #Retrowave / #Synthwave Modern #OS
https://www.elivecd.org
#elive
@withersailor @Borgzilla There's also #Elive Retrowave to consider.
You get to choose in the installer which system you want.
Just tried installing #Elive Retrowave on an old #Asus Transformer T100t and was rather put off by most web-searches about booting and installing #linux .
And you know what?
It was no problem at all. 😎 #Retrowave had all the necessary ia32 boot options already included on the iso. I think it's the only distro that does that.
Great stuff, only requiring 350Mb of the 2Gb RAM for a full, smooth and snappy desktop/tablet experience.
¿Que por qué soy linuxera? Mis dos pasiones unidas en una distro.

A week since releasing #elive #linux LTS #RetroWave, traffic is starting to pick up. It offers both a 32 and a 64 bit version for free at https://elivecd.org
A synthwave inspired #Enlightement based desktop for the community.
Looking for a #linux distro to try? Curious or insterested about #enlightenment ? Listen to #retrowave / #synthwave ? Check this out!
@PureTryOut @howrar Well there are distros that are specifically geared to their default DE like #Elive #linux #RetroWave There's no way any distro can just 'slap that on' as the saying goes.
