For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

This is a very good distribution. I disabled some extensions of the gnome desktop that were not necessary for my personal needs. Different layouts are available, they are well designed. Attention, after an update I noticed that a repository added by myself had been disabled, nothing serious, I was able to easily reactivate it. This distribution is very good for beginners and for anyone who wants a ready-to-use system. Based on Debian, a lot of documentation is available online. Thank you to the Pardus team for this beautiful and stable distribution!

Pardus Linux, based on Debian, has all the advantages of the main version. It is very suitable for use as both a server and a workstation. It also has ease of use and localization advantages. All stores such as apt, snap, and flatpak are accessible, and all software in .deb format can be installed. In short, we are dealing with a complete version with Debian features.

Debian tabanlı Pardus Linux, ana sürümün tüm avantajlarına sahip. Hem sunucu hem de iş istasyonu olarak kullanıma çok uygun. Ayrıca kullanım kolaylığı ve yerelleştirme avantajları da bulunuyor. Apt, snap ve flatpak gibi tüm mağazalara erişilebiliyor ve .deb formatındaki tüm yazılımlar kurulabiliyor. Kısacası, Debian özelliklerine sahip eksiksiz bir sürümle karşı karşıyayız.

Pardus version 25 is fantastic. I've been a Linux user for many years. This Pardus version is very stable; I haven't experienced any problems. I still don't understand why this distribution isn't more popular. I recommend this distribution to those who constantly switch distributions; it's the last stop! :) Additionally, its own app store doesn't include unnecessary applications and only uses the ones you need. You don't need to search through a huge sea of ​​applications. Everything you really need is in its own app store. I recommend it. 10 out of 10.
