GeckoLinux 改进了的 openSUSE 体验，它的创建者一直保持匿名。


我不会评论这是好事还是坏事，但现在，开发者又带着另一个基于 Debian 的类似项目回来了。


**SpiralLinux**，这是一个基于 Debian 的发行版，旨在使 Debian 适合最终用户使用。


### SpiralLinux：基于 Debian 构建的发行版

毫不奇怪，大多数用户友好的 Linux 发行版都将 Debian 作为其原始基础。Ubuntu 就是在此基础上进行了大量改进，从而提供了良好的桌面体验，即使对于没有 Linux 经验的用户也是如此。


那么，这个发行版有什么不同呢？


嗯，它的创建者说，这个项目旨在帮助你获得 Debian 的所有核心优势，而无需定制很多东西。


如果你想在桌面上使用 Debian，SpiralLinux 是一种接近原版的体验。你还可以根据需要升级到最新的稳定 Debian 版本（或不稳定/测试版），而不会丢失方便易用的自定义设置。


换句话说，SpiralLinux 使 Debian 适合桌面使用，而最终用户只需付出最小的努力。


为了实现这一点，SpiralLinux 使用了 Debian 官方软件包存储库，并提供了现场安装方式，让你能够定制自己的 Debian 系统。


此外，SpiralLinux 还具有以下功能：


* 开箱即用的 VirtualBox 支持
* 预装了专有的媒体编解码器和非自由软件包存储库
* 预装了专有固件
* 打印机支持
* 通过 GUI（软件中心）支持 Flatpak
* 默认启用 zRAM 交换
* 多种桌面环境（Cinnamon、XFCE、Gnome、Plasma、MATE、Budgie、LXQt）


Debian 始终坚持使用开源和自由软件包，最终用户必须自己搞定编解码器、驱动程序和其他软件包，才能使许多功能正常工作，获得令他们满意的桌面体验。


而 SpiralLinux 似乎可以作为 Debian 的一个有用的替代品，就像 GeckoLinux 之于 openSUSE 一样。

The creator of [GeckoLinux](https://itsfoss.com/geckolinux-review/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) (providing an improved openSUSE experience) remains anonymous.

And, I won’t comment if it is a good or bad thing, but now the developer is back with another similar project based on Debian.

**SpiralLinux**, a Debian-based distribution that aims to make Debian usable for the end-users.

## SpiralLinux: A Distro Built from Debian

![spirallinux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/spirallinux.jpg)

It is no surprise that most of the user-friendly Linux distributions have Debian as its original base. Ubuntu has managed to do a lot of improvements on top of it to make it a good desktop experience, even for users without prior Linux experience.

So, how is this different?

Well, the creator says that this project aims to help you use Debian with all its core strengths without customizing a lot of things.

SpiralLinux is a close-to-vanilla experience if you want to use Debian on your desktop. You can also upgrade to the latest stable Debian version (or unstable/testing) as you require without losing the user-friendly customizations.

In other words, SpiralLinux makes Debian fit for desktop usage with minimal efforts to the end-user.

And, to achieve this, SpiralLinux uses official Debian package repositories providing a live installation method to let you setup a customized Debian system.

Additionally, you have the following features in SpiralLinux:

*VirtualBox support out-of-the-box**Preinstalled proprietary media codecs and non-free package repositories**Preinstalled proprietary firmware**Printer support**Flatpak support through a GUI (software center)**zRAM swap enabled by default**Multiple desktop environments (Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome, Plasma, MATE, Budgie, LXQt)*

Considering Debian always sticks to the open-source and free packages, the end-user has to figure out the codecs, drivers, and other packages to make a lot of things work for a proper desktop experience.

And, it seems like SpiralLinux could live as a useful alternative to Debian just like GeckoLinux is to openSUSE.

## Download SpiralLinux

If you always wanted to try Debian, but did not want to fiddle around a lot for initial configuration, you can try SpiralLinux.

You can head to its official webpage hosted on GitHub to explore more about it.
