So, I guess, it's not completely free GNU/Linux anymore.The official marketing text of Goodram Iridium 2.5' 240 GB Serial ATA III MLC as supplied by the manufacturer I'm using openRC version and it's damn good documented.Īnyway I have one problem, 'broadcom-wl-dkms' package is now in instead of AUR, and it's non-free, so when I installed it from mirror it deleted package 'your-freedom' :D. Got my hopes up for an OpenRC 32-bit distro. No forums except for a subreddit where no one seems to reply, system won't shutdown, no documentation to help with this problem & keyrings constantly have to be refreshed. No simple GUI for new users for installation Very stable and functional on my servers and clients Only free and non habit tracking apps in the repos Runs all apps I have used so far.Ĭan be migrated to from arch linux without a usb/CD. If you want to be secure and not easy to track 'out of the box' then this is the one. Very privacy and security heavy focus on the user from this one. For me this is the best FSF approved distro.Įxcellent distro! If you are looking for a no nonsense totally free/freedom from corporate hands and tracking in your linux distro then this is for you. This is a great distro, fully free as freedom, with the choice to run OpenRC instead systemd, and very large repos only with free software. Installing xfce4 did not go as smooth as it should, need to tweak files to get it to start. Installation is a chore with all these keyrings that are expired. So no more headaches from having to choose between user.js on Firefox or having to compile Ungoogled-Chromium/Iridium/IceCat from AUR, when you want a non-spyware web browser. It's also very useful how the flagship browser is IceCat, which for once is in the official repos. All the power of Arch, but you can stay away from systemd since there is an OpenRC version, a portion AUR merged into the base group so you won't have to use an AUR helper on top of pacman anymore, fully free as in freedom. There are no features missing compared to Arch.

It strongly adheres to the Free Software Distribution Guidelines (FSDG).

If it goes more smoothly for you/if you install Parabola when packages are better maintained, the result might be more worthwhile.Īn Arch derivative which definetly respects your freedom. Smaller distributions live or die by adoption, and the support for this one isn't quite what I would've liked it to be. For a FSF distribution, works as expected with the benefits/drawbacks of the 'Arch way'. I only got things to work after installing Arch and downgrading everything to Parabola - downside is no choice to the init system.

#Iridium or icecat iso

Some aspect(s) of the ISO package/documentation/maintenance of PGP keys is not up-to-date, and mandates perusing old forum posts and outdated help pages in the wiki. Ran into similar problems as a previous poster, on both the CLI and graphical installer for this version. Guess that means we have to get in and contribute. The packages are being updated frequently thanks to Bill and the other hackers but conversation is slow and information is sparse. Try this after you are comfortable with Arch. I applaud the efforts of the hacker team for all their work and staying true to the four freedoms.

I had to use the Arch Linux ISO to install the base system and then migrate to Parabola after. However, like the other reviewers say, the ISO will not boot on my Thinkpads. No compromises on freedom which is the best part. I give it a 10/10 because once you finally get it set up working the system runs great, lightweight and fast.

#Iridium or icecat update

Thank you Parabola team.īugs for update with gpg keys Bugs on boot Forum is dead.

It's the lightest, cleanest and fastest distro I've ever used, the best for older notebooks. These images have many bugs and problems after installing the system, but when parabola with systemd is installed in the same way as Arch Linux, following the Parabola guide, the system is perfect. The problem is in the iso images that come with a graphical environment. Parabola linux is the best distro I've ever used. Parabola wiki also has detailed instructions for librebooting with fully encrypted drive, including /boot. It's pretty much indistinguishable from arch, meaning all the arch wiki documentation and support is applicable. Our FAQ page has tips on writing a good mini-review. Please include a few pros and a few cons, along with your overall impression of the operating system. What are your thoughts on Parabola GNU/Linux-libre?
