There's a dedicated 'Documentation' section on the main website for tasks like running apps that won't work with firejail in a Distrobox container but it isn't very extensive. Just click the corresponding icon at the top of Nitrux's main page. The distro has an active community that you can interact with on all the popular social networks.



All the AppImages are launched in a firejail sandbox, which makes Nitrux more secure out of the box than your typical desktop Linux. In fact, Nitrux plans to switch all its graphical apps to AppImages eventually. The distro also supports and encourages the use of AppImages, which makes it straightforward to install additional apps. It ships with a healthy dose of apps for all kinds of desktop tasks. Nitrux has even customized some administration apps to make tasks such as firewall and backup approachable for inexperienced users. The latest version Nitrux 2.7.1 "sh" uses version 5.27.3 of the Plasma Desktop. It offers a couple of layouts for the desktop to allow users to make best use of the available screen real estate. The distro leverages on some of the most stable and well-respected open source projects and builds on them to create a distro that suits the sensibilities of new Linux users.įor instance, instead of building a custom desktop environment from scratch, Nitrux relies on KDE Plasma’s famed malleability along with some redesigned components to simplify the workflow for new users. If you are just taking your first steps in Linux, you should begin your journey with Nitrux.
