Cool presentation, thanks for sharing!
EndlessOS is still the operating system I install for users new to Linux or new to computing in general. On my own computer, I use Fedora Silverblue. But with this move to a GnomeOS base in EndlessOS 7, I'm now contemplating moving myself to EndlessOS too! After 15 years with Fedora. Exciting stuff!
Complex system-level integration problems are one of Codethink’s specialties. We created BuildStream, a next-generation integration tool suitable for modern operating system development. And last year we were happy to help Endless Access work on redesigning their platform, Endless OS, using BuildStream and GNOME OS.
Find out more about the collaboration and the next steps for Endless OS over on the Endless Access blog: https://access.endlessstudios.com/blog/endless-os-a-conversation-about-whats-changing-and-why-it-matters
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.

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.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated, snappy
Neptune - Polished KDE Plasma on stable Debian w/newer kernels.
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.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), Maui shell, immutable, heavy reliance on AppImage

Siduction - Rolling release based on Debian Sid.
SparkyLinux - Great for gaming, newer drivers.

Slax - Modular, tiny, runs from a USB stick.
Performance and Old Hardware (Lightweight):
antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
CrunchBang++ (#!++)- Minimalist, Debian + Openbox, continuation of original Crunchbang.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox, keyboard centric.
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.

Kali Linux/Parrot OS - "Hackerman" suites for penetration testing.
GParted Live/Dr. Parted - Disk partitioning
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - "Oh Shit Buttons", emergency ktis for broken PCs.
SysLinuxOS/Kaisen - Built for network admins and system integrators.
Servers, Cloud, and Self Hosting:
Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS Scale - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault - Turns old hardwrae into NAS
umbrelOS/StartOS/YunoHost - self-host your own cloud.
Univention (UCS) - Professional Debian for corporate identity mangement.
Network & Radio Engineering:
Live Raizo – Specialized lab environment for network admins to simulate and experiment with complex network topologies (integrated with GNS3).
Skywave Linux – Built for Software Defined Radio (SDR) and shortwave enthusiasts. Preconfigured with specific drivers and software needed to communicate on the airwaves.
VyOS – Network OS for routers and firewalls.
Embedded, IoT, and Media:
Raspberry Pi OS - OS specifically for Raspberry Pi
DietPi - lightweight, optimized base for hobbyist boards.
OSMC - Turn hardware into dedicated Kodi media center.
LinuxCNC - Controls heavy machinery and 3D printers.
Mobile Distros:
Mobian - Debian for phones and tablets.
PureOS - FSF endorsed, famous for Librem 5 convergence.
Droidian - Allows Debian to run on standard Android hardware.
LuneOS - Spiritual successor to Palm webOS.
FuriOS – OS for the FuriLabs FLX1, includes Waydroid.

@mattdm @sozutovo @fedora Even in Fedora Atomic upgrades are not automatic. Someone has to press a button. In my experience watching people using any computing device, many people do not see or care about notifications. People will fall on EOL OS image for years unless you do yearly support.
So, I'd substitute #UniversalBlue in this response.
Lack of automatic updates is the reason #Fedora #Silverblue is not my first recommendation to beginners, preferring #EndlessOS or #UBlue instead.
#EndlessOS migrates from #Debian to #gnomeos for version 7.
It was the only immutable #Linux I know that was based on Debian Stable.
Sad.
#EndlessOS wechselt für Version 7 von #Debian auf #gnomeos .
Somit fällt die einzige mir bekannte auf Debian Stable basierende immutable-Distribution weg.
Schade.

#endlessos
Jeg fandt endless os i dag og er meget imponeret. Hvad synes du?
Endless OS, a Debian based Linux distro that able to being install directly from inside Windows. Tested dual boot on a 8 Gb RAM i5-4570 machine along with Windows 10.. Check it out in my video:

The latest version of Endless OS, 6.0.7, is now available

Elérhető az Endless OS legújabb verziója a 6.0.7
https://kocka.news/hu/article/szoftver/252/elerheto-az-endless-os-legujabb-verzioja-a-6-0-7
#endlessos folks, it seems like I can't install it as a normal distro, via a live usb, only as VM inside #linux. Is this correct?
If not, I can't find the correct iso. Cheers.
@Freigeist62 Ich werfe hier einfach mal #EndlessOS in den Ring, das ist eine sogenannte "immutable" Distribution und war bisher auf jedem Gerät wo och es getestet habe absolut "Plug and Play".
Lange geplant, endlich angegangen. Ein alter Laptop mit Linux für den Sohn fertig machen. #EndlessOS wird zuerst ausprobiert.
#EndlessOS scheint mir etwas mehr gekapselt zu sein. Man kann einstellen, welche Programme verwendet werden dürfen und ob man ins Internet kann. Zeitbegrenzungen etc. gibt es aber scheinbar nicht.
@EndlessOS Noah Chelliah recommends #endlessos in recent issues of the #asknoahshow .
I installed the base version to my son's new PC that's due for christmas.
Now, after looking around in https://community.endlessos.com/ and seeing your latest post here on mastodon being a year old, I get the impression that the community (and the project?) is not in a very good shape at the moment?
Don't misunderstand me: I'm not here to complain, but I want to help (where I can) but can't find a place to start..
Nachdem ich Vadderns Laptop fertig gemacht habe konnte ich ja nicht anders als #EndlessOS auch mal auf meinen Laptop zu werfen (mit regelmäßig gezogenen Festplattenimage ist das zurückwechseln ja nur eine Sache von Minuten, also komplett risikolos).
Ich muss sagen: Auch für die Sachen die ich so am Rechner mache funktioniert das ganze ziemlich reibungslos
An old classic Endless game is now eligible to be featured on Flathub! I spent a bit of time recently improving its metadata, so now it can be featured as a daily app or in the large banner on the Flathub home screen.
https://flathub.org/apps/com.endlessnetwork.fablemaker
Fablemaker is a fun little intro-to-programming game for kids that retells the classic Aesop’s fables with beautifully-animated hand-drawn artwork—and then encourages you to “hack” the story by changing its code.
Soweit, so gut: #EndlessOS läuft auf Vadderns Laptop flott und stabil, hat tonnenweise Software mit an Bord und macht rundherum einen ganz soliden Eindruck... mal schauen wie es sich in täglichen Rentnerbetrieb so bewährt
Ich mache hier gerade als privates Nebenprojekt für Vaddern einen Laptop mit #EndlessOS fertig... wobei ich ja schon etwas geflasht davon bin, dass man "mal eben so" ein knapp 25 GB großes Image runterläd. Das wäre für mein 1995er ich komplett unvorstellbar gewesen
