Neptune OS Reviews
Neptune OS
Neptune is a GNU/Linux Distribution that runs on desktops. It is based entirely upon Debian Stable (‘Buster’), with the exception of a new kernel and some drivers. It comes with a modern KDE Plasma Desktop. The main view is on a well-designed multimedia system that allows you to get work done. It is also very flexible and can be used on usb sticks. We created easy-to-use applications such as USB Installer and a Persistent creator that allow you to save changes to your system to your live usb stick. The Debian repository is the main source for new software and updates. Neptune ships with its software repository so that we can update our own applications. Neptune attempts to spread the BeOS message that a multimedia OS is fully supported to the next generation. Neptunes is focused on providing a user-friendly, out-of-the box experience. We offer a simple and elegant overall look and feel, as well as a bunch of multimedia tools like codecs and flash player.

    System that preserves the best of Mandrake

    Date: Nov 19 2023

    Summary: A good system, but it could be modernized by adding support for systemd and increasing the packages in its repositories.

    Positive: I really like using his apt-rpm. another cool tool is mylivegtk which allows me to make customized versions.

    Negative: Destandardized KDE menu, no support for systemd and gnome.
