SpiralLinux 12.231008
Nate Drake gets his head in a spin over this customised version of Debian, which offers easy setup and proprietary firmware.
SpiralLinux Debian spins can be tested in live mode. Setup is handled by the excellent and intuitive Calamares installer.
A ccording to the official documentation, “SpiralLinux is a selection of desktop spins built from Debian GNU/Linux, with a focus on simplicity and out-of-the-box usability across all the major desktop environments.”
In other words, installing it means you’re using a customised version of Debian. While Debianbased Linux distros are nothing new, the anonymous creator of SpiralLinux describes its parent OS as “a sprawling and impersonal organisation that does not focus on being friendly for the end-user”.
