A new Linux OS gets to the core of Linux computing with a revamped desktop environment and a new way to have fun with your daily computing tasks. Developer Jacque Montague Raymer has debuted the MakuluLinux Core OS, and hopes it becomes the crown jewel of the Series 15 release family. MakuluLinux released the latest versions of family members LinDoz and Flash several months ago. While the Core entry integrates some of the features of its two cousins, it offers something new and exciting that brings MakululLinux to a higher level of usability.
What a breath of fresh air! I love xfce, but they made it exciting. Usually xfce and exciting aren't found in the same sentence. Although I haven't installed it on my drive yet I've loaded it a few times as a live install. I really enjoy using it. Very slick. I'm going to install it and use it as my daily runner and see how it goes.
I enjoy your posts and glad to read about something that I might want to try out. I know I like old menu's. I liked my days when pcbsd was using kde 3. I like simple menu's so not sure about the circular menu. I do like trying new things out but I always seem to go back to my old menu as I like to be able to find what I am looking for. I can use some of the newer menu's in KDE but keep them simple as possible. After using linuxmint mate I do like the search but for the most part I like to just have menu's where I can find things that are under Internet and other headings that make it easy for me. I have never done multiple desktops and do not have a need for them. I am glad you have them as you put a lot of work into every one of these that you test and I appreciate that. I have heard of this OS before but do not remember if I ever tried it before. I will download it and give it a try.
I have been putting MakuluLinux Flash through its paces and have found that it is quite impressive in its own right. So much so, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Core.
I have not yet had the chance to really check it out but I am liking what I am seeing, so far.
One thing that has really impressed me with Flash is how bug-free it has been. The level of polish is on par with Deepin, Elementary, Linux Mint and even KDE's Plasma.
MakuluLinux Core's modified Xfce environment is very nice. I felt Flash was unique enough to feel like something new. Core is taking that to a new level.
The last couple of years has seen a remarkable evolution of the Linux desktop. The level of polish and functionality is nothing short of amazing.
Open source software has upped its game right along with desktop Linux. I feel fortunate to be able to witness it first hand and the future looks bright and very exciting.
Thanks for the great article and for the earlier one that put MakuluLinux on my radar to begin with. MakuluLinux deserves a spot in the majors because it is pretty awesome.
Thank you for your comments. I am glad to hear that your experiences with MakuluLinux have been similar to what I described in the reviews. Continued success with using this distro.
Great article and review! I downloaded the new Makulu Core ISO and WOW! Everything you said is true. I will be testing this for my daily driver. I like the built in Mint repository! I am using Mint 19.1 Tessa and it will be a simple switch to Makulu Core. I like the new desktop with the circular menu. So far I checked Wifi, BlueTooth, audio, networking, printer, graphics, video, history, browser its all there and works well! A great distribution! Come on in and take a look.
