Clean Install Nitrux Linux Distribution Step by Step - A Beautiful Ubuntu-Based Linux on PC


Recently I wrote about Slackware Linux. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to install Nitrux Linux on your Computer as main OS.

Nitrux is a Linux distribution based on Debian's Unstable (sid) branch with additional packages pulled in from Ubuntu LTS repositories. Nitrux strives to be a distribution suitable for laptops and desktop computers. Its main desktop environment is NX Desktop, a KDE Plasma desktop enhanced with "plasmoids" to create a special blend of aesthetics and functionality. The project also focuses on using redistributable, portable applications using the AppImage format.

All this process is going to be easy, so you will not face any problems. Nitrux is a complete Operating System that ships the essential apps and services for daily use.

NX Desktop offers a different style, its own implementation of the systray, the notification center and various plasmoids, such as a network configurator and a multimedia applet for volume control and multimedia content playback control. From the applications developed by the project, an interface for configuring the NX Firewall is also distinguished, which allows you to control access to the network at the level of individual applications.

Nitrux is one of those "all-around" Linux distribution that excels in every domain. Use it to surf the web, word processing, email, spreadsheets, listen to music, watch a movie, chat, game with your friends, edit your photo, create amazing content. Basically any function you can use a computer for, you will be able to do it with Nitrux.

Basic applications include Index file manager (you can also use Dolphin), Kate text editor, Ark filing cabinet, Konsole terminal emulator, Chromium browser, VVave music player, VLC video player, suite LibreOffice office automation and Pix image viewer.
