SDesk 2024.01.26
Nate Drake discovers the new kid on the block, SDesk, including shiny toys such as Wayland and a brand new browser.
IN BRIEF
SDesk is very new, so we didn’t expect great things. Still, we appreciated the quick setup via the Calamares installer. We also enjoyed playing with the new Swirl web browser.

S Desk is one of the newest versions of Linux we’ve ever reviewed. The current edition (2024.01.26) is only the second stable release since December 2023.
Still, it has some impressive credentials, given that its creator Steve is also the author of the Blue programming language. According to the main website, Blue is “cross platform, portable, memory safe, small and reliable, with a fast and efficient compiler”, so we expected great things from SDesk.
