Distribuições Linux

A dedicated, independently built Linux firewall and router distribution, managed entirely through a web interface, with a modular add-on system for extending its networking and security capabilities.

A rolling-release distribution built entirely from scratch around a single, deliberate focus: KDE Plasma and Qt applications, with no other desktop environment offered at all.

The industry-standard penetration-testing distribution, maintained by Offensive Security and pre-loaded with hundreds of security auditing and exploitation tools.

Offensive Security's defensive-side counterpart to Kali Linux, bundling SIEM, SOC, and blue-team tooling on the same Kali base instead of offensive/red-team tools.

The official KDE Plasma flavor of Ubuntu, pairing Ubuntu's hardware support and package base with Plasma's traditional, highly configurable desktop.

An Ubuntu-LTS-based distribution built on the lightweight LXDE desktop, explicitly targeted at giving old computers -- particularly ones headed for e-waste -- a useful second life.

A lightweight Linux distribution built entirely around RetroArch, turning a Raspberry Pi or similar small computer into a dedicated retro-game-emulation console.

A minimal embedded Linux distribution that exists to do exactly one thing: boot as fast as possible straight into the Kodi media center, turning a small computer or single-board computer into a dedicated home-theater device.

Not a distribution to download and install, but a detailed book/guide that walks you through building an entire working Linux system from source code, package by package, by hand.

A privacy-focused live distribution that chains a VPN and Tor together automatically on boot, alongside DNS encryption and anti-forensic tools, aimed at users who want anonymity configured for them out of the box.

An Xfce-based distribution built explicitly as a first step for Windows users, tracking only Ubuntu LTS releases for maximum stability.

An Ubuntu-based distribution built around the traditional-desktop Cinnamon environment, aimed squarely at users coming from Windows.

The Linux Mint team's own proof that Mint's Cinnamon desktop can stand on Debian directly, without Ubuntu underneath.

The lightest official Ubuntu flavor, built on the Qt-based LXQt desktop specifically to keep running well on older or resource-constrained machines.

A Debian-Stable-based distribution combining a lightweight Xfce desktop with a set of original MX Tools that make common admin tasks point-and-click.

An Arch-based distribution that delivers Arch's rolling-release package freshness through a graphical installer and a curated, delayed update pipeline, without Arch's manual setup process.

A German-developed, KDE-Plasma-focused distribution built directly on Debian, offering a polished, curated Plasma experience with extra multimedia codecs preinstalled.

A Fedora-based live distribution focused specifically on network traffic analysis, packet capture, and network security monitoring, with a browser-based management console (NST WUI) on top.

A distribution built entirely around the Nix package manager's declarative model -- the whole system configuration, from installed packages to services and desktop, is described in one reproducible text file.

A Fedora-based distribution maintained by a prominent Proton/kernel contributor, pre-patched and pre-configured specifically to maximize out-of-the-box gaming compatibility and performance.

A French, independently built distribution inspired by Linux From Scratch's approach, offering both source-based and pre-built binary package installation through its own 'cards' package manager.

A live distribution pre-loaded with a comprehensive collection of open-source geospatial software -- GIS, remote sensing, and mapping tools -- maintained by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

A Debian-based, plugin-extensible NAS operating system created by a former FreeNAS developer, offering a lighter-weight alternative to TrueNAS for home and small-office file-server use.

The dominant open-source firmware replacement for consumer routers, turning stock, feature-limited router hardware into a fully configurable Linux-based networking device.

Oracle's own free, RHEL-compatible distribution, notable for its optional Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel and first-class support for Oracle's own database and cloud products.

A long-running, independently developed rpm-based distribution using a rolling-but-curated release model, with KDE Plasma as its flagship edition.

A fully free-software fork of Arch Linux, removing proprietary packages and non-free firmware from Arch's repositories and shipping the Linux-libre kernel instead of mainline Linux.

A Debian-based security distribution similar in mission to Kali Linux, but positioned as lighter-weight and also usable as a privacy-respecting everyday desktop.
