Korora Linux 18 aims to deliver a friendlier Fedora

There's no doubt that desktop Linux has become increasingly user-friendly over the years, but it's equally true that some distributions focus more on ease of use than others do. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are two examples at the forefront of this usability trend, but recently I came across another that has put friendliness at the forefront of its goals. Enter Korora, a...

Key updates are coming to Fuduntu and PCLinuxOS

Much of the Linux world may be awaiting the final release of the high-profile Ubuntu Linux 13.04 “Raring Ringtail” later this month, but that doesn't mean the many other Linux distributions are standing still. The "News and Updates" section on tracking site DistroWatch is just as busy as ever. This week, two popular Linux distributions came out with significant updates that...

In Depth: Is the Linux desktop becoming extinct?

After a decade of looking for the "year of the Linux desktop", many Linux columnists have given up. Some say it isn't coming, while others claim that Linux has simply failed on the desktop. If we responded to everyone who has ever criticised the Linux desktop, we wouldn't get any work done. But Miguel de Icaza isn't just anybody. He's well respected in the open source...

Meet Manjaro Linux, a brand-new distro on the rise

With virtually countless Linux distributions available for every taste and purpose, it's no secret that choice is a defining feature of the Linux world. What's not always apparent, though, is that the range of choices actually gets bigger every year. New distros come onto the scene on a fairly regular basis—SolusOS and Fuduntu Linux are two I've covered over the past few...

Coming soon to Linux: A lightweight KDE alternative

Choice has always been a hallmark of the desktop Linux world, where users can select not just the distribution they prefer but also the desktop environment, among virtually countless other features. Soon, however, the pool of desktop options will get even bigger thanks to a new project that recently launched. The project, currently codenamed “KLyDE,” for “K Lightweight...

Like Ubuntu Linux? This week, help make it better

It's no secret that Linux offers an increasingly compelling alternative for business users in this mobile-influenced computing era, complete with desktop interfaces and a variety of user-experience options designed for solid desktop productivity.

For a fully free desktop OS, try Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0

Linux is widely referred to as a free and open source operating system, but the fact is that most Linux distributions, or flavors, aren't actually entirely free. Yes, they're certainly free in price (unless, of course, you choose to purchase commercial support or other services), but when it comes to the other sense of “free”—namely, your freedom to share, study, and...

Six good reasons to try Manjaro Linux 0.8.5

Monday may have brought the disappointing news that Fuduntu Linux will soon close its doors, but another young, up-and-coming Linux distribution appears to be continuing along its upward path without interruption. Manjaro Linux, a distro I first covered only a few months ago, just released a fresh update, and it's particularly notable for the addition of a graphical...

In Depth: Can gaming be the turning point for Linux on the desktop?

Dear old Linux, what are we to do with you? Developed for just over two decades and it's still barely made a mark on the consumer consciousness. There was a vague peak during the netbook fad - as it enabled companies to eliminate the extra cost of a Windows installation - but that quickly faltered after people started taking them back because Microsoft Office wouldn't run...

So Long, Cinnamon: Cinnarch Linux is reborn as Antergos

Regular PCWorld readers may recall Cinnarch, a Linux distribution I covered last fall that combined Arch Linux with the relatively new and alternative Cinnamon desktop environment. Cinnarch was just in beta at the time, but recently the project team behind it announced that they planned to abandon Cinnamon as a default desktop, calling it “too much a burden to...
