Pearl Linux

Yes, this is a Pearl Linux UPDATE.

I haven't used Pearl Linux since 32bit times.

My memory and relationship is related to its Password.

Either USER Password was blank or live or custom.

I cannot remember.

Then there was another distribution that had number extension 32 and 64 added to the Password.

Linux by default cannot boot without USER or ROOT password, even in live mode.

 

Now BlueStar Linux uses demo as a password.

 

My interaction with Pearl Linux is mixed with only nostalgia.

 

My comments are as; 

1. It still has "Inferiority Complex" and wants to assume Windows run computers. 

It added Window boot Plymouth to my GRUB. 

There is no Microsoft Windows in my system.

It could not read my GRUB and Pearl Linux assumed and added a Windows appendage.

It really annoyed me.

2. It ruined my GRUB and there is no sympathy for such a distribution but the Christmas spirit prevailed.

3. Only 4 out of  5 Linux distributions boots.. 

I even installed CachyOS to completely overall the GRUB.

CachyOS runs with Debian but not with REBORN OS and other ARCH based distributions. 

 

Is the most elegant ARCH based distribution and that is why it tops www.distrowatch.com, list.

1. I have nothings good to say about Pearl Linux.

 

I have said Good Bye to Trixie even though Trixie is pretty STABLE. 

 

Pearl Linux is Trixie edition and I have at least one distribution with Trixie. 

I am not sure how long I am going to keep it or erase it with Gnoppix.

I have gone fully to Debian Forky but few of my favorite applications like Blender is missing. 

But Reborn OS supplements the missing applications.

2. Pearl Linux hated SNAP and UBUNTU

So do I.

I have no association with UBUNTU now. 

3. Peal Linux has introduced a novel Desktop called Pearl Desktop Environment, PDE. Mixture of Xfce and LXDE with a bit of Elementary look.

4. It has Synaptic Package Manager and I quickly got Gnome and Plasma Desktops instead of PDE.

5. It has Openbox Window Manager which I really like.

It ruined my GRUB

It took 48 hours to get all 5 including REBORN OS booting.

 

I have.

2 of Forky Debian 

1. BlueStar Linux

1 of Pearl Linux, for how long I cannot say but it should disappear in 2026.

1 of REBORN OS, I used to have two of REBORN OS to fill in the GAP.

 

I would have gone for Gnoppix but its version 26 has some problems.

Pearl Linux 

Here, I have reproduced a read me file of Pearl Linux since I could not find the user name and password.

It is an Ubuntu Derivative which has a macOS appearance and is 1.5GB.

At the login screen please type "custom" as the user name hit enter then for password leave that field blank and hit enter.

Found a small issue with the fonts not looking correct and I thought I deleted the Iso but I guess not.
 

All you have to do, if you already downloaded Pearl is go into system settings and change the font from Veranda 9 to Ubuntu 10 and this is important,

I think Ubuntu One and few others give concern for a good password management. 

Naming others would be improper since they are not Open Source based. 

What goes behind them and whether they share them with the NSA or a corrupt regimes is open for debate
