Linux Desktop: Why Spiral Linux is interesting for Debian/Ubuntu users

Do you already know Spiral Linux? A Debian fork that wants to differentiate itself from Debian itself with improvements in certain areas and thus convince users. A pretty interesting distro.

I started running Spiral Linux XFCe on one of my old, low-resource laptops a few weeks ago. I like everything about it with only one minor complaint. As far as I can tell, there are no notifications provided when updates are needed. I am using the terminal to check for updates and performing the upgrades each time I log onto the laptop.

[@mytech6779]

Notification requires knowing if there are changes to your packages which means regularly downloading the updated package list, even if the actual packages are not subsequently downloaded and upgraded.
Auto updates should always be off by default and a selectable option during installation.
Mystery changes to my systems are the source of the most irritating and difficult to resolve problems. I forget if maybe it was Bullseye, but Debian quietly switched to nightly updates being enabled by default on some major version release and suddenly a bunch of my settings were not persisting from day to day and causing me major problems that took me a week to track down to automatic package-upgrades that I had never explicitly authorized. (A very unDebian-like thing for them to do.)

Great Distro, everything is setup to make it easy. The snapshots and easy switching to testing is what I like.

[@tmaioli]

Looks interesting, I usually run a Minimal Ubuntu, might give this a spin.

You don't use timeshift with spirallinux. It already has Snapper GUI built in. Just like in OpenSUSE.

4:29 This is a word for word read of the webpage shown earlier in the video. Seriously?

[@feelsbad1193]

I will await your more original review video.

What were they thinking with those horrible icons from 2007? Yikes...
