A custom edition of the Porteus Linux operating system that features the Cinnamon desktop environment. #Porteus Linux #Cinnamon desktop #Linux distribution #Porteus #Cinnamon #Linux
Porteus Cinnamon is an open source Linux operating system, a community-driven remix of the Slax distribution. It is based on Slackware Linux and built around theCinnamon project.
Porteus is known for featuring its own Software Center application that allows novices to install, updated and remove packages from the system, a unique dependency-resolving package manager, support for multiple languages, and an ultra fast boot process.
This edition is distributed as two Live CD hybrid ISO images that can run on both 64-bit and 32-bit instruction set architectures. After download, one can burn the ISO image to a blank CD disc or write it into a USB flash drive (recommended for persistence sessions).
The boot menu of the Live CD is exactly the same as on other Porteus editions, allowing users to copy the live session to RAM (requires at least 1GB of system memory), boot the live environment in text mode, initialize a PXE server, boot the currently installed OS, or access the PLoP boot manager.
Similar to other Porteus flavors, the Cinnamon edition is also persistent by default. This means that users can modify and save configuration files or downloaded documents, but only if they boot from a USB flash drive.
As mentioned, the modern and beautiful Cinnamon desktop environment is in charge of the graphical session of this edition. It provides users with a single taskbar located on the bottom of the screen, from where they can launch applications, switch between virtual workspaces or interact with opened apps and the system tray area.
Default applications include the PCManFM file manager, GNOME MPlayer video player, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Geany IDE, Audacious audio player, Transmission torrent downloader, uGet download manager, and Mozilla Firefox web browser.
Summing up, Porteus Cinnamon proved to be an extremely fast Linux distribution that includes a collection of hand picked applications for common tasks, perfect for a low-end personal computer or laptop.
What's new in Porteus Cinnamon 5.0 RC1:
- Slackware updated the pkgtools package which moved all package info files to /var/lib/pkgtools/packages. A symlink was left at /var/log/packages
- Major version updates have been made to icu, glibc, gcc, mesa, xorg-server
- We have finally managed to completely replace python2 with python3 for all desktops. This means python2 is no longer in our default package list.
- pauth now acts as our authorizing agent in place of the various other graphical su applications.
