一个基于 Arch 的独立 Linux 发行版 MagpieOS
发行版 MagpieOS Arch
目前使用的大多数 Linux 发行版都是由欧美创建和开发的。一位来自孟加拉国的年轻开发人员想要改变这一切。


### 谁是 Rizwan？


[Rizwan](https://twitter.com/Linux_Saikat) 是来自孟加拉国的计算机科学专业的学生。他目前正在学习成为一名专业的 Python 程序员。他在 2015 年开始使用 Linux。使用 Linux 启发他创建了自己的 Linux 发行版。他还希望让世界其他地方知道孟加拉国正在升级到 Linux。


他还致力于创建 [LFS 的 live 版本](https://itsfoss.com/linux-from-scratch-live-cd/)。

### 什么是 MagpieOS？


Rizwan 的新发行版被命名为 MagpieOS。 [MagpieOS](http://www.magpieos.net) 非常简单。它基本上是 GNOME3 桌面环境的 Arch。 MagpieOS 还包括一个自定义的仓库，其中包含图标和主题（据称）在其他基于 Arch 的发行版或 AUR 上都没有。


下面是 MagpieOS 包含的软件列表：Firefox、LibreOffice、Uget、Bleachbit、Notepadqq、SUSE Studio Image Writer、Pamac 软件包管理器、Gparted、Gimp、Rhythmbox、简单屏幕录像机等包括 Totem 视频播放器在内的所有默认 GNOME 软件，以及一套新的定制壁纸。


目前，MagpieOS 仅支持 GNOME 桌面环境。Rizwan 选择它是因为这是他的最爱。但是，他计划在未来添加更多的桌面环境。


不幸的是，MagpieOS 不支持孟加拉语或任何其他当地语言。它支持 GNOME 的默认语言，如英语、印地语等。


Rizwan 命名他的发行为 MagpieOS，因为<ruby> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie">  喜鹊 </a> <rt>  magpie </rt></ruby> 是孟加拉国的官方鸟。

### 为什么选择 Arch？


和大多数人一样，Rizwan 通过使用 [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com) 开始了他的 Linux 旅程。一开始，他对此感到满意。但是，有时他想安装的软件在仓库中没有，他不得不通过 Google 寻找正确的 PPA。他决定切换到 [Arch](https://www.archlinux.org)，因为 Arch 有许多在 Ubuntu 上没有的软件包。Rizwan 也喜欢 Arch 是一个滚动版本，并且始终是最新的。


Arch 的问题在于它的安装非常复杂和耗时。所以，Rizwan 尝试了几个基于 Arch 的发行版，并且对任何一个都不满意。他不喜欢 [Manjaro](http://manjaro.org)，因为它们没有权限使用 Arch 的仓库。此外，Arch 仓库镜像比 Manjaro 更快并且拥有更多软件。他喜欢 [Antergos](https://antergos.com)，但要安装需要一个持续的互联网连接。如果在安装过程中连接失败，则必须重新开始。


由于这些问题，Rizwan 决定创建一个简单的发行版，让他和其他人无需麻烦地安装 Arch。他还希望通过使用他的发行版让他的祖国的开发人员从 Ubuntu 切换到 Arch。


### 如何通过 MagpieOS 帮助 Rizwan


如果你有兴趣帮助 Rizwan 开发 MagpieOS，你可以通过 [MagpieOS 网站](http://www.magpieos.net)与他联系。你也可以查看该项目的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/Rizwan-Hasan/MagpieOS)。Rizwan 表示，他目前不寻求财政支持。

### 最后的想法


我快速地安装过一次 MagpieOS。它使用 [Calamares 安装程序](https://calamares.io)，这意味着安装它相对快速轻松。重新启动后，我听到一封欢迎我来到 MagpieOS 的音频消息。


说实话，这是我第一次听到安装后的问候。（Windows 10 可能也有，但我不确定）屏幕底部还有一个 Mac OS 风格的应用程序停靠栏。除此之外，它感觉像我用过的其他任何 GNOME 3 桌面。


考虑到这是一个刚刚起步的独立项目，我不会推荐它作为你的主要操作系统。但是，如果你是一个发行版尝试者，你一定会试试看。


话虽如此，对于一个想把自己的国家放在技术地图上的学生来说，这是一个不错的尝试。做得很好，Rizwan。

OK
Most of the Linux distros that are in use today are either created and developed in the US or Europe. A young developer from Bangladesh wants to change all that.

### Who is Rizwan?

[Rizwan](https://twitter.com/Linux_Saikat) is a computer science student from Bangladesh. He is currently studying to become a profession Python programmer. He started using Linux back in 2015. Working with Linux inspired him to create this own Linux distribution. He also wants to let the rest of the world know that Bangladesh is upgrading to Linux.

He has also worked on creating a [live version of Linux From Scratch](https://itsfoss.com/linux-from-scratch-live-cd/).

### What is MagpieOS?

Rizwan’s new distro is named MagpieOS. [MagpieOS](http://www.magpieos.net) is very simple. It is basically Arch with the GNOME3 desktop environment. MagpieOS also includes a custom repo with icons and themes (claimed to be) not available on other Arch-based distros or AUR.

Here is a list of the software included with MagpieOS: Firefox, LibreOffice, Uget, Bleachbit, Notepadqq, SUSE Studio Image Writer, Pamac Package Manager, Gparted, Gimp, Rhythmbox, Simple Screen Recorder, all default GNOME software including Totem Video Player, and a new set of custom wallpaper.

Currently, MagpieOS only supported the GNOME desktop environment. Rizwan picked it because it is his favorite. However, he plans to add more desktop environments in the future.

Unfortunately, MagpieOS does not support the Bangla language or any other local languages. It supports GNOME’s default language like English, Hindi etc.

Rizwan named his distro MagpieOS because the [magpie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie) is the official bird of Bangladesh.

### Why Arch?

Like most people, Rizwan started his Linux journey by using [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com). In the beginning, he was happy with it. However, sometimes the software he wanted to install was not available in the repos and he had to hunt through Google looking for the correct PPA. He decided to switch to [Arch](https://www.archlinux.org) because Arch has many packages that were not available on Ubuntu. Rizwan also liked the fact that Arch is a rolling release and would always be up-to-date.

The problem with Arch is that it is complicated and time-consuming to install. So, Rizwan tried out several Arch-based distros and was not happy with any of them. He didn’t like [Manjaro](http://manjaro.org) because they did not have permission to use Arch’s repos. Also, Arch repo mirrors are faster than Manjaro’s and have more software. He liked [Antergos](https://antergos.com), but to install you need a constant internet connection. If your connection fails during installation, you have to start over.

Because of these issues, Rizwan decided to create a simple distro that would give him and others an Arch install without all the hassle. He also hopes to get developers from his home country to switch from Ubuntu to Arch by using his distro.

### How to Help Rizwan with MagpieOS

If you are interested in helping Rizwan develop MagpieOS, you can contact him via the [MagpieOS website](http://www.magpieos.net). You can also check out the project’s [GitHub page](https://github.com/Rizwan-Hasan/MagpieOS). Rizwan said that he is not looking for financial support at the moment.

## Final Thoughts

I installed MagpieOS to give it a quick once-over. It uses the [Calamares installer](https://calamares.io), which means installing it was relatively quick and painless. After I rebooted, I was greeted by an audio message welcoming me to MagpieOS.

To be honest, it was the first time I have heard a post-install greeting. (Windows 10 might have one, but I’m not sure.) There was also a Mac OS-esque application dock at the bottom of the screen. Other than that, it felt like any other GNOME 3 desktop I have used.

Considering that it’s an indie project at the nascent stage, I won’t recommend it using as your main OS. But if you are a distrohopper, you can surely give it a try.

That being said, this is a good first try for a student seeking to put his country on the technological map. All the best, Rizwan.
