Big Linux from Brazil

I recommend Big Linux with cautious optimism, since I got it to behave the way, I wanted it to be.

It is not goingnto be my Daily Driver.

It is bit confusing.

The Desktop is neither GNOME nor KDE but total mixture.

By strange coincidence, I got Gnome and Plama both booting perfectly OK.

Its behavior is similar to REBORN OS but somewhat confusing.

Desktop manager is SSDM of KDE.

I am going to use it until it crashes.

Getting GNOME is the plus point uptil now.

This distribution comes from Brazil.

When I tried last time, I could not figure out how to install and gave up.

What attracted me was the different Desktop apprarnve from classic to vanilla to modern.

It has produced a new ISO Image for the New Year 2026.

This is the first distribution I am trsting for this year.

I am impressed.

The Calamares Installer had made it easier for various distributions to work on their distributions without worrying about the installation antics.

In fact, I tried Ubuntu Studio and the UBUNTU installer took almost 8 hours and could not install it. To recover the partition, I had to install REBORN OS.

I have BlueStar Linux and the rest 3 distribution were all Debian GNOME.

I am using one of the GNOME installer to install Big Linux.

I have to right something good about Big Linux in my book.

Not having tested on a Virtual Machine but after real installation.

By the way, Box Utility did not mount it.

I did not persever, sonce I am going to install it any way.

Hope it would not destroy my GRUB.

It is finishing its installation.

I want to see what applications, it supports.

It looks like it is a KDE Desktop which I HATE.

Booting was verbose but I could not read them.

Desktop looks like Plasma Wayland.

No additional desktops.

Only one file to UPDATE.

Instead of Discover Add and Remove utility is there.

It works and I Remove the KWalletManger I hate.

I would try GNOME desktop which is finiky on top of KDE.

Thankfully, Desktop is GNOME and I am going to add Plasma now.

Box Utility to begin with.

It looks like it is KDE desktop with lot of GNOME utilities.

It is a good try and I am going to promote it.

But let me install real Plasma Desktop to begin with.
