Great example of a distro that doesn't need to exist
The beauty of linux is that it still can exist. Even if this is only useful to the person that made the distro, they can distribute it if they want to for fun.
When are we going to have a Green Star Linux? That way we'll have a RGB Linux!
Has he done Red Star yet?
Make it Mario Galaxy themed!
18:25 you need to also tick mark the below option for the theme to affect the desktop as well.
I miss the KDE desktop from almost 20 years ago. It had a really well done glass like theme and icons that were 3D and had some depth to them. I'm just not in to flat icons :)
Look at Titan
you can use trinity, it's a fork of KDE before the developers went mental and created a buggy mess
I think a lot of distros are better with just:
- base distro (arch or debian): bootloader, kernel, package manger, basic librearies
- Desktop Environment as vanilla
- basic configuration + extra packages preinstalled (if you want)
So basically: just pick Arch/Debian and a desktop environment you like and you're good to go.
@@Nanagos yeah but you have to do some extra things after the installation. I think are like validate packages and populate, configure the user group for root, and some other minimal things.
I recommend archinstall for arch and with debian use the gui, and after that create a script.
Or create a minimal ISO with vanilla DE because in that case you have a live environment and can easily change the root with chroot from a USB pen drive.
@@Nanagossome things like LMDE come with a lot of nice admin/custom apps that wouldn't be in Debian. The Mint apps are nice and not in Cinnamon!
Or, just install Arch and give the DE a miss? What do you want all that GUI crap for when you could just have a beautiful TTY!?
That is probably what most Linux users will do after a decade or so using Linux.
They're done with all the bloat and organize the desktop themselves.
Instant messaging is alive and well - in the workplace. Many companies have embraced things like Teams and Slack.
From what I've heard, Arch and its derivatives are not for me. I just love my Linux Mint because it's dependable. It doesn't have all the newest gimmicks but that's all right. They'll get here eventually, when they've been thoroughly tested and found worthy. Debugging the OS and apps I have in my computer just ain't my hobby.
As an arch user, I've never ever had to debug or do anything other than install packages.
I have no idea what people do to nuke their installs. I've never had a single problem.
@@Skelterbane69 Well, that depends... is that "never ever" 6 weeks or 6 years?
@@OldieBugger I've been using endeavourOs for over a year now. I'm pretty sure I switched to it from windows september/october last year
Well looks nice.
There's a wallpaper checkbox when choosing appearance, I was waiting for you to see it.
I wonder how good it would look if you checked that checkbox and went with some other appearance. They can't all be that bad.

Also DT: struggles with customization
says that themes are kinda ugly, then...
uses plasma default theme
That was kinda of a fun ride, man 😅
Is the KDE Plasma working stably now?
About 5 years ago I used plasma, but encountered interface freezes. I don't know what was the matter. Perhaps because I have 4 GB of RAM. Maybe because of Manjaro. And then I switched to window managers. Got better. But even in the i3 window manager, when I don’t restart the computer for a long time, for several days, it happens that some application windows disappear. But you can still use the system.
Now I’m thinking of using this computer for TV in the living room for media content, and installing KDE Plasma on it.
RedStar > BlueStar
I agree with you, comrade.
BlackStar > RedStar
Red Star < Green Star < Blue Star. If we’re talking frequency :P
BlackHole would be an attractive distro due to its gravity
@@iamghezali Rimshot!
Just found your channel, and I'm enjoying the informative videos.
For my next OS, I'm thinking of going with Linux, but I'm completely new to it. I was wondering if you had a recommendation of a distro to use (for a windows user) that is beginner friendly, but still allows for customization? Something to experiment / train on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Mint is probably what you wanna go for. It has a huge community of people coming from windows that might have the same problems you could have, so there is much talk and (hopefully) help online. If you want Arch based I honestly recommend just to go with base Arch, even if the base installation is so bare. DT uses Arco Linux wich is nice for "learning Linux", but in my experience you just end up wondering why something is not like on Arch when you Google your problem. And you'll have a bunch of stuff installed you don't know what it does and so on.
If you do end up installing Arch, you can obviously customize everything exactly how you want it, but if you follow a tutorial for example on TH-cam *also* read the Arch wiki, for everything you do and you'll actually understand what happens.
I'd highly reccomend Linux Mint. It's really easy to get into. If it doesn't provide enough customization for you I'd reccomend Tuxedo OS, which uses KDE Plasma as the desktop.
@@NGYX2i don't feel like reccomending Arch Linux to a newbie is a great idea. Arch Linux is difficult to setup. It will break on you a lot. If you really want to dive in Arch Linux is the way to go, but if you want something that actually works out of the box, Arch Linux is not even close. (Note: I run Arch Linux on my home system, imo Arch is tbe best distro, but it doesn't really give Linux a great first impression)
@@starsetknight You are right. What I wanted to say is that in my experience you will have the same amount of problems with other arch-based distros, but you will end up having a harder time fixing those problems because: 1. there is less support online and 2. there are things on your system that you don't know about which in the end can be the culprit of the issue's your are having.
PS: Used Arco, Manjaro and now Arch.
@@NGYX2 Thank you very muchly for the tips!
All versions are in the same ISO, you can choose which one to install, i installed developer=the most complete?
What’s your favorite of the Arch spinoffs, or are you more a fan of pure Arch?
He is an arco user. EndeavourOS and Arco are the most established vanilla arch based distro so far.
Whats the icon theme? I'd love that on KDE - Very mint-like!
Very niche arch theme... but if i want an arch based distro i'll better try Obarun which is archbased but different.
synapttic package manager used to be default in ubuntu/debian based distros till they made thair own software center
i like that green theme
What an odd, buggy and randomly cobbled together distro.
Cheers for the review Derrick.
FTP clients huh. I remember using some, probably Filezilla but also one with some cutesy name initially in the early 2000s. Now it's going to rattle around in my head till I remember it.
I decided to quit arch because I have a serious problem with my back and it's very hard for me sitting for long time. So I "landed" to Debian Testing. Decently recent software and less maintenance (pardon my self-taught English).
Locks like the memory is running high for a plasma desktop. Also kinda looks like its following a Windows 11 type theme.
I mean, the popup does tell you "just apparearnce or wallpaper as well?" and didnt click on wallpaper..
It's not that bad a distro as a base Plasma DE to start from.. has it's quirks, but you could change it up to make it your own.
Strange they are using Latte Dock- no longer developed. They are still using x11 with Plasma?
I miss Daisy launcher on KDE.
I think that is useless distro. Still thumps up for creator.
Yeah seems like it needs a clear design goal behind it. Very disjoint.
You should really do a good look at freebsd if possible. Ik as a content creator, you probably couldn't daily drive it. But it's got a lot to offer... ZFS as a first class citizen, jails, the man pages, etc. why not!?? Lol
おはようございます
おはよう！よく寝たかな？
sudo first!
Is BlueStar Linux politically opposed to Red Star Linux?
Thank you for not showing the installation process 👍
May I suggest Garuda Hyprland for the next first look? Or one of the Fedora 39 beta Wayland editions maybe?
how is plasma "experimental" 5.27 has been out forever and wayland on plasma is great
Is not the default yet, it will be on Plasma 6
Aesthetics is about the last thing they should be advertising
6:07 Back when linux still gave a * about UI
8:27 Sacrilege! Blasphemy! Someone stop this madman 😛
disappointing to see distros still defaulting to latte dock, its unsupported and works terribly in wayland. And since wayland works infinitely better for me for gaming compared to x11, it's just an instant ignore from me.
NATOTAN distro.
I looks beautiful by 2001 standards
not 2024
I hate it! I love the concept, but not implementation! If i do arch, id like either archo, arch, or manjaro. For now, i like my linux mint cinnamon. Just dont like a few bugs!
garuda is an amazing arch distro as well
for the love of god. distros don't matter. take a base distro (Debian arch etc.) and install your own packages. stop looking at obscure irrelevant distros.
I wonder how bugged it is compared to ubuntu.. usualy on install of any linux there are a million issues.
It looks awful. I usually like to focus on one or two things and be constructive in my criticisms but it is hard to know where to start with this one.
tbh this distro looks uuugly and like a hot mess, no thank you. I much prefer as close to vanilla DEs to start with and customize it from there
KDE / gnome ...are bad choices. Both are interpreter based, KDE on QML/javascript, Gnome on python (I think). Not responsive and memory hungry eventually. LxQT (binary compiled) - 400 Mb after reboot, KDE -more then 1 GB RAM used after reboot of the RAM used. And once you want to play games - that is huge problem. Games take all RAM system has. My daily work crashes OOM with 32 GbRAM too often, so KDE/Gnome would be a problem here too.
So I don't really understand why people keep "update" DEs when it should be just launcher for other activities user needs.
This guy's channel seems to be all about Linux and he doesn't even know how to change themes properly. 🤣
It's ugly
Mabox it aint
Mabox, one of the best Arch based distros out there and light with Openbox!
