VailuxOS is a newly discovered Linux distribution designed to facilitate the transition for Windows users. Built on a stable Debian base and utilizing the KDE Plasma graphical user interface, VailuxOS combines familiarity with reliability. The distro aims to deliver a user experience reminiscent of Windows, making it an excellent choice for those looking to switch to Linux without a steep learning curve.
Upon installation, VailuxOS presents a desktop layout that closely mimics Windows 11, with a centralized menu panel and a minimalist selection of pre-installed applications. Users can easily download additional software through the KDE Discover application, which supports Flatpak and Snap formats. This allows for access to a wide range of applications while maintaining a clean initial setup.
One notable feature is the inclusion of a Computer icon on the desktop that opens the file manager to the user’s Home directory. Setting up shared folders is straightforward, thanks to a user-friendly interface for Samba configuration—a capability often overlooked by other distributions.
Despite its advantages, VailuxOS is not without its issues. One minor setback arose during testing when the system’s default password did not work due to the keyboard layout being set to German. This obstacle was quickly remedied by adding a US English keyboard layout.
During performance testing, VailuxOS proved capable, offering reasonable response times when running applications like Ollama, a model that allows for various queries. Although not the fastest option available, it demonstrated solid performance.
In conclusion, VailuxOS emerges as an impressive Linux distribution, especially for users transitioning from Windows. While Zorin OS might still hold the top recommendation, VailuxOS is a strong contender for anyone seeking a reliable and user-friendly Linux experience.
