MakuluLinux 5.0 Review: A good Debian spin with an attractive XFCE desktop
Can you name an XFCE distro which can put any GNOME / KDE distro to shame in aesthetics? Yes, I know - Voyager. Now add another XFCE distro to that list - MakuluLinux. Normally XFCE distros are designed to be functional and less importance is placed on looks. Even the best of the XFCE distros like Linux Mint XFCE, Xubuntu or Manjaro XFCE, don't look as attractive as a KDE or a GNOME. And it is not that I don't agree with the developers of these distros - they are meant to run on low spec / relatively low spec machines and hence, very little attention to aesthetics. Voyager is a definite trend setter in this regard and now we have MakuluLinux, a South African distro. I used their previous release and found it refreshing. The present release, based on Debian Testing, takes it a completely new level. I'll take you step by step my experience with the distro in this review.
Two Paragraph Linux
So, I'm tempted to start writing some reviews about the operating systems I've been using, testing, and installing recently.
I realize I produce quite an (over)abundance of verbiage in these posts -- please forgive, as I am still learning and processing a lot --Â so, I'm going to trim each review down to two paragraphs worth of stuff.
Organization will be something like two scores out of 10 -- one in relation to the rest of the field, and the other representing progress in relation to potential -- followed by short explanations of the scores, general impressions, and areas for improvement. What I'll be trying to get across is how the distribution in question can best follow its philosophy (design and mission) in relation to the user (in a practical and ideological sense).
