“If you’re ready to leave Windows 11 behind, this is the distro for new Linux users”
The OS for Anything and Everything.
Office
SDesk includes a complete LibreOffice suite, GNOME 47, and the Geary email client. It truly is a productivity machine.
IT
The Linux family of operating systems are considered to be some of the most secure, reliable, and open operating systems in the world. SDesk provides an elegant twist on your IT workflow, with GNOME 47, and other packages and apps.
Fun & Games
SDesk can run many entertainment apps, including Valve’s game and software distribution platform, Steam. You can also install graphics drivers for your computer to make your experience the best it can be.
Development & Programming
With the wide collection of Unix-like applications included in GNU Coreutils and GNU Binutils, you can make anything from a simple game, to an entirely new operating system. You can also use the Pacman package manager to install more tools.
Creative Works
With multiple native Linux applications available, you can create to your heart’s desire. You can also install tools like Wine to run other creative Windows applications on your machine.
Note-taking
With the GNOME file manager, Nautilus, you can take, save, and — with GNUPG — encrypt notes and other files and never get lost.
Powerful Out of the Box.
SDesk is Arch-Based, and as a result, can utilize great tools like Archiso, and the Pacman package manager.
