This distro is a bit of a surprise.

I am not sure what exactly makes it PClinuxOS, if the base is Debian. It does have the extra software tools that usually come with PClinuxOS.

It has a recent 7.0.* Linux kernel. Has xLibre installed by default.

PClinuxOS is a rolling release, but the repositories for this appear to be Debian Trixie... so is this not a rolling release Linux?

SysV init version: 3.14 - so no SystemD

Would be great to chat with someone who knows more about this Distribution.

Hey, I found a Linux curiosity:

PClinuxOS, Debian edition

https://www.pclosdebian.com/home

I hadn't heard of this before. Anybody familiar with it? Looks like it does PCLinuxOS type things such as systemD-free and rolling release, but with a Debian base.

I downloaded the Cinnamon ISO and will test.

They have forums:

Why PCLinuxOS gets my vouch if you miss the simplicity of Windows 7

There's another Linux distribution that's ready to welcome Windows users with open arms, and this one's been around for a long time.
