Old Network/System Admin here.... Thanks for this fine video. I lost interest in KDE after version 3. Went Gnome2/Mate for the longest time. Now.... I've been on Cinnamon since version 4. But.... Big Linux has turned my head! I very much like what I see. Testing in a VM as I type. Installed very quickly. Nice automatic choices for setup. I get the feeling the Big Linux Team is like the Linux Mint Team: Making a "Root Distro" much better by listening to their User Base. I used Manjaro as my daily driver from 2016 until 2021. That was until "Update Hell" and the Manjaro Team (pissing-off their user base) finally driving me away from them. I'm currently on LMDE5. But... Big Linux has a big chance of making me switch distros. Keep on impressing me, BIG LINUX!!!! Thank You.
Manjaro is my daily driver on my MSI gaming laptop. i installed Big Linux on a "backup" laptop that I use in case of any issues with my main laptop. The installation of Manjaro gives you the option to choose between swap or no swap. Using an SSD drive, it's better to not use swap. The installation of Big Linux does not give the options for swap, since it's an automatic setup for swap. I prefer to have the option for swap when installing any distro. This is the only issue I have with Big Linux. Aside from that, it is a great distro.
I thought the same thing why is this not higher in the rankings of distrowatch its a great distro another that doesn't show is ultramarine linux another great distro. Great video.
Manjaro being my previous fav Linux distro, Big Linux is looking even better! I'll put this on my distro list to try. My daily driver will remain to be MX Linux though... it's just so stable , snappy, and awesome! 😁
Hi, been using Big Linux for a couple of months, and i love it. Had no issues so far. It is fast and responsive, and it have all the programs i need out of the box.
@@mploof For me Mint has been a distro to come back to when the other ones fails. Mint compared to Big Linux is for me that Big has often newer software version and newer look. they use about the same amount of Ram. Mint feels a little bit older.
@@BjrnThorvaldBrochs looks like I'm gonna install BigLinux anyways, after checking out the live USB, my windows 10 will only boot to an error grub screen and I can't seem to fix it.🤔
@@mploof Have you tried to fix the bootmanager? Here is a link you can try: th-cam.com/video/L_E1VTU0OaU/w-d-xo.html have you installed BigL? Have you encountered some issues with the language setting on Big Store, Big welcom and the Control Center? Seems to be and update that created this issue. But still i will continue using BigL. 🙂
@@BjrnThorvaldBrochs Thanks for the video, but my grub error was during bootup, I couldn't get into windows at all, even through the bios. I did install BigLinux and liked it a lot, except my graphics card (AMD RX480) and my mouse didn't play nice with BL. I got both worked out eventually, but my graphics card had a lot of screen tearing on video games on Steam. I reinstalled windows last night and will try dual booting with BigLinux and see how that goes.
Very good video. BigLinux is one of the best distros out there. I'm not a KDE Plasma fan, but their customization is amazing. When they moved to Manjaro based, it was the best decision, stable rolling release and friendly. 👍
I'm also using Big Linux as my daily driver for my office work and personal usage, Its amazing. I'm also thinking to create detailed review of Big Linux.
Keep up the great work with these Linux videos! The first time I heard about Big Linux was on a couple of your previous videos. After running Manjaro for a while, I decided to make the switch to Big Linux. I was completely stunned. It's a beautiful mix of customization and functionality. And yes... I took your advise and used panels over the Latte dock that they have installed. Overall, solid OS that is contiually improving. Thanks again for all your efforts reviewing and promoting Linux distros.
I don't know if anyone has ever heard of RoboLinux by John Martinson. John is, to say the least, a bit weird, but a nice guy and I really like RoboLinux. Why am I saying this? He has been screaming for years now that DistroWatch has been "blocking" him from the beginning. He, apparently, had exchanged some rash words with them and has been blacklisted since. Whatever the truth may be, I really don't like DistroWatch picking and choosing what to promote or not.
Yes I'm taking a look at robo linux, it is a nice little distribution. But I agree wholeheartedly with what you state in this comment, I do believe there's favoritism and blacklisting is happening.
love these. Been trying linux for many years and keep reverting to Windows. Closest is Linux Mint stayed with for a month. Saw your september review and tried it and saw your Garuda and tried it. Didnt like garuda. But BigLinux been using it for a week now and really love it. It has been flawless and love the calendar. Being Manjaro/Arch based was hesitant as when Manjara first came out liked it but then had major crash. This BigLinux has everything I like. Calendar and the programs and the look. Have tried KDE editions in past and wasnt happy but this is perfect so looks like finally found my Windows replacement at last
Big Linux is not the only one good distro, but it's one of the best examples of how this overwhelming diversity of distros in the Linux universe that invariably ends up scaring prospective new users away the most, but on the other hand, it's this very same wondrous number of different distros that keeps experienced Linux users happy. For the sake of keeping this universe as rich as it is today, Linux may need to abandon its aim of being more enticing and accessible to new users.
I stayed up late, watched your tutorial, took the leap of faith, installed BigLinux .... and WOWSA! This is brilliant mate, simply brilliant. Don't know if I can go back Linux Mint after this experience! Thanks and thanks!
Do you still use It after 7 months? I'm trying It, and I'm stunned as well. I'm dual booting It with Linux Mint. But It sure has some advantages Over It, like AUR and a good UX for KDE Plasma
BigLinux is on DistroWatch. You can search for it. They aren't in the top 100 distros because their ranking for the last 6 months is 139. The BigLinux DistroWatch page lists the last release date to be 2022-02-07 and it reports a last update of 2022-12-02 @ 1:54 UTC. Not sure why that is. The distro maintainers should probably inquire about that.
You should always use what fits you. I didn’t truly understand that until I used BigLinux. Once installed I spent many hours configuring it to how I like it. It’s not hard or daunting. I remember using window blinds and alternate desktops for windows like Talisman back in the day. Well, anyway, I decided to give Garuda a shot and it felt bloated to me and I couldn’t do some of the things I did easily in BigLinux. I tried a couple of other Distros after that, all the time missing BigLinux. This weekend when I get some time off from work it is going back on my machine. Not because it’s the biggest or best, not because it’s bleeding edge or fun to use, but because it “fits” me. It’s my OS of choice. Now I understand how an OS “fits” you.
I had the same experience with mx Linux every distro I tried I just kept comparing it to how my computer functioned with mx so finally this weekend I just installed mx and got it all configured. I may give big Linux a try on an external drive tho.
@@eBuzzCentral Thank you, Troy. I think I may back off the use of it until it is more stable or less kinks. I'm lovin' Big Linux by the way. Nice polish.
looks fantastic. can a beginner linux user and not a technical user manage to use this system? is it stable and does not freeze? office, net, multimedia such areas. Thanks.
I’m a noob user and big Linux is very easy. I haven’t broke it yet, never freezes. Highly customizable or just use simply out of the box if customizing isn’t your thing. The software “store” is one of the best for finding software to suite your needs. Comes with Libre Office as most do though I hear Only Office (easily installed from store) may be more compatible with MS Office. Easily create web apps which I use for Disney+ and TH-cam which I use daily. My onboard speakers don’t work (but in my pc no Distro operates my onboard speakers) but since I generally hook up to Bluetooth speakers that’s not an issue as Bluetooth works fine. Basically, BigLinux is great. I tried others and found some to be rather limiting, some just bloated and hard to get around, and others not playing well with my NVIDIA gpu. BigLinux is the best computing experience I’ve had since XP. And as a total noob, I’ve yet to use a terminal or enter any code to make what I need work. I couldn’t even tell you where the terminal is lol.
I'm 7:49 in the video and ask myself, what can this Distro better than Garuda? I get the point about Distrowatch isn't what it was ten years ago tho. Now I've finished the video but well. For more UI orientated folks it might be better than Garuda (especially b/c of the BigStore) but everything else is kinda familiar to Garuda especially those UI helpers. But to me and for my use case there isn't and big difference. I'm between Garuda and Gentoo - depending on my use case, so there is that. But BigLinux seems to be better than most "easy to use" Linux I guess. But based on Manjaro, meh.
about a month and a half ago the 2gb update broke completely on my desktop after being aok prior. reinstalled then updated and it broke again. It wasn't until they came out with the latest iso that it seems to be good now. But until i feel confident i'm going to use it on a spare laptop and not chance my primary desktop with this distro. It looks cool but I need some stability when I do updates.
The stability of bleeding edge Arch distros and Arch in general is always the elephant in the room. I have put Nobara on my pc with no concerns about stability.
Looks very good, Manjaro was one favorite distro long time ago, surprised how this works for me But these rolling releases are always mystery and after like half year you can make bigger conclusions, but im defineatly gonna try this longer time
Tried on bare metal with my Nvidia 4080 and all the icons in the control center are duplicated. Plus the right-click menu on each control center icon is in Portuguese, even though I set English as the language and America as the region. Looks like a promising distro, but still needs some polish.
Big has always been better than Manjaro imo, haven't had it break on me yet. I have migrated to xerolinux for my main machine but still run big on my laptop I use for work in a dual boot as well as on my bench machine for data recovery.
i used big linux after watching ur last video and still stick to it. i try to go to other distro but stop before installing other distro bez how good big linux is with its add on features thank you
Sorry to report that 3 separate downloads failed to install because the installer calls the files bad. Odd thing is the live DVD booted, loaded the desktop and got me to the installer. Same thing using Ventoy.
What is the best (IE Easiest & Most Compatible) distro to run both Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock (Windows 10 / Android) Edition? I have both games paid for and right now I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (latest from Spring of 2022) But... my updates keep failing due to missing dependencies in the 32 bit portion of something... I am really new so I'm really lost on all this. I just need something that works that I can keep things updated and won't bork my games or my OS in general. Everything else besides that seems to be working just fine. I love Linux, it's basically perfect for everything I need aside from this. And I'd really rather not have to have a separate partition or whole different machine for running Minecraft on Windows. Thanks for all the great information, I really love your channel, I'm subbed as of some time ago, and I like every video I see! Gotta keep you in the algorithms!
Hello I have been playing with the most popular distros on VirtualBox but I Wanted to install UBUNTU on an HDD it was fine until it was time to share screen on zoom and it wasn't working at all and as a teacher that's just basics. 🤔 The question is if I install big and remove Ubuntu will it work 100% 🤷🏼♂️ please show us the professionals in education how effective it could be 🤔🤷🏼♂️ before going through the process again...
Big Linux is really impressive. The only thing, and that isa deal breaker, that I can't get over is - the desktop environment. Only Plazma. You can use packages from many distros but you can only have one desktop - Plazma. Not really logical.
Nah, tried it on my research machine, HP, 2016 model, 1Tb HDD, 16Gb RAM,. AMD A-10 Radeon CPU, hangs forever on updates, and freezes for no reason. Put Mint back on that machine & not a moment's problems. Don't have any idea why, just can't keep BIG running.
@@eBuzzCentral I downloaded it about a month ago, after your previous video on it. I was quite keen to use it, sounded great, but I tried several installs, kept doing the same stuff. Reformatted both the HDD, and the USB I used, tried virgin install, same issue. Not knocking the distro, looks great, just has an issue with my warhorse laptop.
@@eBuzzCentral I stop using Manjaro based distros because their support for AMD GPUs is horrible and very inconsistent across generations of gpu. Manjaro based distros boot menu is archaic has no real use outside the preset/defaults. When editing boot parameters for some AMD cards, Manjaro's auto driver installer seems to ignore changes at boot screen even in changes in grub so black screen of death with no options for other driver support options and no visible tty..... I at least have visible TTY options on Ubuntu and Fedora when same issues occur (maybe better vga options not sure why tty works while I have no visible tty on Manjaro) I'm able to work around the same issues on those distros vs Manjaro based distros including Garuda (which I like), Mabox, etc... all suffer the same fate.... I fear BigLinux, based on Manjaro, will suffer the same fate ..... I'll give it a go on my AMD test machine.... Thanks for the review
The best Distro I have used to date. There is just so much to love about it and I haven't had any problems. I've used distro's since Slackware maybe 1994-ish, Debian varieties, Mint, Ubuntu, most Arch derivatives but I love this distribution the most! If introducing a new GNU/Linux user to Linux I would make this my #1 recommendation. 🙃
Tried it for about a month before Christmas, looked impressive but sometimes it wouldn't shut down properly and had to pull the plug on my pc. Also on Christmas day, turned my pc on to find snow falling on my screen, i know there was an app to have that happen, xsnow i believe it's called but i didn't install it, tried to delete it but wouldn't let me. Don't like Distros that seem to install things you don't ask for. Went back to Mint.
BigLinux is fantastic. But, Nvidea drivers won't match up to Manjaro kernels, from 5.10 to the newest, bummer. BL would rule if they used the 'zen' kernel and the Chaotic AUR.
Well, you had WOW TWICE on your thumbnail- and I AGREE.... I'm amazed. I just checked through after I installed it-- and WOW-- the videos look like REAL- so much better.. don't know if that means 4k or what- but makes my other videos viewing on Sparky or the others- look like flat tv.. with a weak signal!!! The only thing I can't find yet- is how to aDD THEMES.. (like black glass, or dark so and so).. I have it looking about the way I had my other one-- but kept enough of theirs that it's SUPER!!! I'm amazed at HOW FAST it is too.. I've only noticed one possible GLITCH so far-- my krohnkite script for TILINg- works beautifully MOST of the time- but when you're installing stuff- it tries to tile- and can't --comes out with a screen over another... BUT that's only when trying to install something. So maybe that's NOT a glitch so much as MY messup. BUT it looks great and is FAST...and the VIDOES look SO REAL!!! OH-- and I used the kernel 6 whatever instead of the 5-- and it picked up my older hardware just PERFECTLY without my having to do a thing.
@eBuzzCentral why do you not make a video talking negatively about Chrome OS I want your option on Chrome OS Please I don't like Chrome OS but people keep calling it a Linux Distro can you make a Video about Chrome OS?
You only have to choose one and run off with it forever. I have chosen MX and I'm with MX for life. So that means one Linux distro. The other's don't exist to me. That's all anybody have to do. If you're complaining to many distro's on the playing field.
Yes, I approve this video! I've struggled to learn Linux over many distros and always had some debilitating problem - either bugs/incompatibilities, or just not intuitive enough for a Windows switcher. This is now my dd for the foreseeable future. So as good as BigLinux is, I think the main plus overall for people like me is that you can actually use it and things just work as you expect for the most part. No long cryptic CLI needed that you'll just get wrong and frustrated over (like trying to install something, anything). This system is intuitive. Another big honourable mention is that you won't have to deal with all those condescending gods on Linux forums nearly as much! Fellow newbies give this one a try. IMO, Deepin, for all it's accolades, it has nothing on Big.

Definitely my second place distro out of the ones I’ve tried. Not my favourite but very close!
Big Linux is really impressive. The only thing, and that isa deal breaker, that I can't get over is - the desktop environment. Only Plazma. You can use packages from many distros but you can only have one desktop - Plazma. Not really logical.
Nah, tried it on my research machine, HP, 2016 model, 1Tb HDD, 16Gb RAM,. AMD A-10 Radeon CPU, hangs forever on updates, and freezes for no reason. Put Mint back on that machine & not a moment's problems. Don't have any idea why, just can't keep BIG running.
Wow, that is the exact test machine I have it running on, except I have a 500GB HDD and 8GB RAM and have no issue at all.
@@eBuzzCentral I downloaded it about a month ago, after your previous video on it. I was quite keen to use it, sounded great, but I tried several installs, kept doing the same stuff. Reformatted both the HDD, and the USB I used, tried virgin install, same issue. Not knocking the distro, looks great, just has an issue with my warhorse laptop.
@@quintonchristie7149 that's super strange, almost spookey. Does machines have a soul? o.o
@@eBuzzCentral I stop using Manjaro based distros because their support for AMD GPUs is horrible and very inconsistent across generations of gpu. Manjaro based distros boot menu is archaic has no real use outside the preset/defaults. When editing boot parameters for some AMD cards, Manjaro's auto driver installer seems to ignore changes at boot screen even in changes in grub so black screen of death with no options for other driver support options and no visible tty..... I at least have visible
TTY options on Ubuntu and Fedora when same issues occur (maybe better vga options not sure why tty works while I have no visible tty on Manjaro) I'm able to work around the same issues on those distros vs Manjaro based distros including Garuda (which I like), Mabox, etc... all suffer the same fate....
I fear BigLinux, based on Manjaro, will suffer the same fate ..... I'll give it a go on my AMD test machine....
Thanks for the review
How secure is it being from Brazil?
All the tests I have run, it is very secure.
The best Distro I have used to date. There is just so much to love about it and I haven't had any problems. I've used distro's since Slackware maybe 1994-ish, Debian varieties, Mint, Ubuntu, most Arch derivatives but I love this distribution the most! If introducing a new GNU/Linux user to Linux I would make this my #1 recommendation. 🙃
Tried it for about a month before Christmas, looked impressive but sometimes it wouldn't shut down properly and had to pull the plug on my pc.
Also on Christmas day, turned my pc on to find snow falling on my screen, i know there was an app to have that happen, xsnow i believe it's called but i didn't install it, tried to delete it but wouldn't let me. Don't like Distros that seem to install things you don't ask for. Went back to Mint.
It looks good, and I like that it comes with Brave, but the name and that logo don't do anything for me
IT DOES look very good.. I might try it out LIVE- but really like my Sparky.. and have gone back to it after all the lastest "try -outs" I've done.
VAIIII BRASILLLL!!!
BigLinux is fantastic. But, Nvidea drivers won't match up to Manjaro kernels, from 5.10 to the newest, bummer. BL would rule if they used the 'zen' kernel and the Chaotic AUR.
I installed Tweak-Tools. There it is possible to get the Chaotic AUR. Have Fun in the big world of arch ;-)
To be honest, I think NixOS is much better!😉
How is the android app support not blowing this distro up?
Testing now if u go big info u find all browsers
Brazilians distro's are the best!
Well, you had WOW TWICE on your thumbnail- and I AGREE.... I'm amazed. I just checked through after I installed it-- and WOW-- the videos look like REAL- so much better.. don't know if that means 4k or what- but makes my other videos viewing on Sparky or the others- look like flat tv.. with a weak signal!!! The only thing I can't find yet- is how to aDD THEMES.. (like black glass, or dark so and so).. I have it looking about the way I had my other one-- but kept enough of theirs that it's SUPER!!! I'm amazed at HOW FAST it is too.. I've only noticed one possible GLITCH so far-- my krohnkite script for TILINg- works beautifully MOST of the time- but when you're installing stuff- it tries to tile- and can't --comes out with a screen over another... BUT that's only when trying to install something. So maybe that's NOT a glitch so much as MY messup. BUT it looks great and is FAST...and the VIDOES look SO REAL!!! OH-- and I used the kernel 6 whatever instead of the 5-- and it picked up my older hardware just PERFECTLY without my having to do a thing.
@eBuzzCentral why do you not make a video talking negatively about Chrome OS I want your option on Chrome OS Please I don't like Chrome OS but people keep calling it a Linux Distro can you make a Video about Chrome OS?
Cool Linux but dont play YT on brave and chrome . Full updated any concept 😮why?
I'm gonna give it ago.
In a real machine it's even more beautiful with blur and etc.
but why so much google ?
Ram usage is 1gb plus.. !!
Too many distros
You only have to choose one and run off with it forever. I have chosen MX and I'm with MX for life. So that means one Linux distro. The other's don't exist to me. That's all anybody have to do. If you're complaining to many distro's on the playing field.
It's about choices. At the end of the day, the cream always rises to the top.
Yes, I approve this video! I've struggled to learn Linux over many distros and always had some debilitating problem - either bugs/incompatibilities, or just not intuitive enough for a Windows switcher. This is now my dd for the foreseeable future. So as good as BigLinux is, I think the main plus overall for people like me is that you can actually use it and things just work as you expect for the most part. No long cryptic CLI needed that you'll just get wrong and frustrated over (like trying to install something, anything). This system is intuitive. Another big honourable mention is that you won't have to deal with all those condescending gods on Linux forums nearly as much! Fellow newbies give this one a try.
IMO, Deepin, for all it's accolades, it has nothing on Big.
