Gnoppix Linux-Update

Gnoppix Linux-Update

It comes in Xfce and KDE desktops and is around 3GB

Gnoppix is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux available in for amd64 and ARM architectures.

Gnoppix is a great choice for users who want a lightweight and easy-to-use with security in mind. Gnoppix was first announced in June 2003.

Currently we're working on a Gnoppix version for WSL, Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets as well.

  

Installation attempt failed. 

 

Update

Let me revise my opinion on Gnoppix.

www.distowatch.com has made some adverse comments. I do not go by this author's advice.

When I started using Linux there were only 34 guys globally using Linux on a 32 bit Desktop Computers. I was one among the 34. 

 

Then, www.distrowatch.com was not in existence.

 

There was a site called Linux Freedom from where I used to get old Iso images.

 

I started with Mepis and moved to SuSe and Debian.

 

When I went to Singapore collect a paid version of SuSe, Singaporean did not know what was Linux.

Then there was a distribution called Linupus, Redhat based distribution that came probably from Hon Kong.

 

I was into Redhat by then. 

 

Gnoppix comes from Singapore.

 

Today, I am using Free Version and I did have to give my email address like for ELive. 

Paid version one can download from SouceForge but they are blocked by a log in in password.

No password works any one of them. 

 

I could not configure the WiFi when I used it in the past.

 

There were no passwords in the past and  I have not mentioned about password blockage in any of my blog pieces here. 

 

I used KDE desktop.

 

I do not like them using /root level desktop commission.

No User Level.

 

That is why I do not use Gnoppix. 

If YOU are trying to Test Drive and install Gnoppix do not activate the INTERNET.

In mid installation, guys from Singapore blocks your attempt to install, so they can ask for the Subscription.

It is not a fully fledged KDE.

For example it has Gparted.

Gparted without a password in Live Session can be destructive to the Hard Disk. 

It does want to own hard disk just like Microsoft Windows and it won't coexist with Debian.

I won't recommend it to any "Soul".

I can very well judge Chinese guys.

I never tried DeepIn.

 

I did not know they have a paid version.

I did not try a paid version. 

I have never used a paid version all my life except Windows 7.

 

I am no longer a Windows user.

Why Gnoppix Linux?

Gnoppix is an open-source project, not a company. We’re a lifestyle where everyone’s welcome to join and share ideas.

Gnoppix provides you with a secure, anti-forensic, and anonymous operating system. It includes all the features a privacy-conscious person needs. Effortless Privacy & Security

Using Gnoppix is incredibly simple: just boot it from a USB drive on your PC. You’ll have a fully running operating system with an established VPN connection, Tor connection, and DNScrypt service – all running automatically. No complex setup or prior Linux knowledge is required; it’s secure by default.

The entire OS functions from your temporary RAM. Once you shut it down, no trace is left behind – all your activities are completely wiped. Built on a Solid Foundation, Designed for the Future

Gnoppix was first publicly announced in June 2003.

It’s primarily based on Debian, offering robust stability and long-term support, which is especially beneficial in business environments. Additionally, its core desktop is based on Arch Linux, allowing users to test software with the very latest kernel, which solves compatibility issues sometimes found with newer programs on older systems. Both come complete with a set of additional software repositories, providing the latest 64-bit versions of the newest desktop environments, frameworks, and toolkits.

Beyond the popular Gnoppix Desktop, we’re also developing a Docker version of Gnoppix. Plus, we’re actively working on a Gnoppix version for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

You can use Gnoppix Linux in two ways: live boot from a DVD/USB for temporary, trace-free sessions, or install it on a desktop, laptop, or microdevice for a permanent setup. A Thriving, Friendly Community

The heart of Gnoppix is its ever-growing community. Without our dedicated members, Gnoppix wouldn’t be where it is today. The community actively assists each other, sharing tips and tricks for a better Linux experience.

Manjario Linux UPDATED

I could not Install Majaro Linux.

It could no read the non serial complicated Partition Table of 35 partitions.

I had a catastrophe where BDS formatted my Hard Disk of 320GB Toshiba. I did a complete revamp of the hard disk with 28 partitions, 5 less than before and I left 42GB space for any future addition (of new and innovative distribution that can mount on my NUC.

It takes the record of fastest installation in 14 minutes.

Incidentally, image was written on a SD card mounted on a USB mounting Stick.

Revisting REBORN OS

I have had a catastrophe.

BSD erased my 320MB Toshiba Hard disk and left me wothout a running distribution.

This is the first time it happened to me in all my Linux Desktop Ventire.

No GRUB to boot and BIOS was defunct and no Hard Disk.

BSD file type was not detectable and NUC was configured to detect only Linux and no Windows.

Did not go to panic mode but installed Debian Forky. 

I have kept several Bootable USB sticks including MX Linux for a such an eventuality.

Now REBORN OS has become the RESCUE USB. It is easy and installation is quick.

But beware of the rest of the ARCH Images.

I am back to normal by 7AM and time to go to sleep.

I do all these things in the night.

Partition Table was awkward and up to 35 partitions not in serial order.

I have got it upto 25 with 4 distributions.

2 of Debian GNOME, CachyOS and Reborn OS. I kept 4 partitions for Gnoppix and have 41GB space without partition, so that any new good distribution that comes in 2026 would be tested on that space.

In future any distribution above 4GB would not be tolerated that include UBUNTU, SuSe and Redhat.

Thank YOU REBORN OS.

You have become my Go To Distribution.

Debian Trixie for while in the back seat but Forky is going to my favourite for TESTING new fearures.

I begin to like Rolling Distributions of ARCH.

Messed Up with CachyOS

Yes, I messed up with CachyOS.

I deliberately used NFFS for the / home folder.

It did not detect the mistake while installing.

It did not detect it at booting.

It could not detect my user name probably stored not in /root but in the / home folder.

It gave the first ntital of my name as the User. Both Gnome and KDE mounted OK.

I tried to open /home folder and then only it realized it is a NTFS Folder.

What it means is it is not checking the partitions at Boot Up.

Besides, It did not recognize the two Debian GNOME editions already installed.

On these grounds I am going to demote CachyOS im my list of priorities and I decided give minimum storage capacity and I won't store any valuable data in /home folder of CachyOS.

By the way, Debian Trixie still does not believe in Forky and it did not write an entry in the GRUB folder.

GRUB EFI folder I formatted since BSD destroyed my entire disk by making the entire Hard Disk as an external device.

I installed BSD on a 32GB USB.

It did not boot.

Boot file was not written on the USB.

My only loss is the last copy of my book "Linux Essentials".

I have plenty of copies in USB storage.

This is the first time I have lost a file in my entire life with Linux.

By the way, CachyOS took 25 minutes for its insatallation 3 mintes longer than the aversge 22 minutes. I am Reinstalling CachyOS but it is not going to be my Dailey Driver.

It is going to be Forky from now onwards.

By the way, it could not mount the icons on the Task Bar with home folder being not accessible. Icons are also probably SAVED on the Home Folder.

What a MESS? 

This is why I say, DO NOT listen to these YouTube Gurus.

Do not pay them money.

CachyOS finished installing and it took little longer than 25 mintes.
