Entropy GNU/Linux KDE For Linux

Entropy GNU/Linux (formerly Less Systemd GNU/Linux KDE Edition) is an open source distribution of Linux, a special edition of the independent Less Systemd GNU/Linux operating system built around the KDE desktop environment.

The distribution can be downloaded directly from its official homepage (see the homepage link at the end of the article) or via Softpedia as Live CD ISO images designed to support the i686 (32-bit) and amd64 (64-bit) CPU architectures.

The operating system will run well on either 32-bit (i686) or 64-bit (x86_64) hardware platforms and must be written on a CD disc or a USB flash drive in order to boot it from the BIOS of a computer.

From the boot loader of the Live CD, the user can start the operating system in live or interactive modes, in safe graphics mode (failsafe) or by copying the contents of the ISO image to RAM (system memory).

It is possible to start the installer directly, repair a broken installation, boot an existing operating system from the first or second disk drive, as well as to shutdown or reboot the machine.

As mentioned, the main emphasis of this operating system is on the KDE Plasma desktop environment, which uses a single-panel layout and provides users with a clean and familiar graphical interface.

The distro includes only KDE-specific applications, among which we can mention the KWrite and Kate text editors, Konqueror web browser, Dolphin file manager, and Klipper clipboard manager.

In conclusion, Entropy GNU/Linux proves to good operating system that features a BSD-style system initialization, a package manager, a custom Linux kernel, and a rolling-release model. However, we do not recommend it for production use!
