@itsfoss I have Spirallinux running in a virtual machine for now. Maybe I'll give it a try. It's Debian with some modifications like a more recent kernel and better media support offering numerous desktop environments.

@itsfoss Thanks for the interesting post!

@itsfoss This question might be a little bit misplaced here but I'm curious.
Has anyone tried to run fedora on this ARM device: Dell XPS 13 9345 ?

@itsfoss Why should I?

@itsfoss I like purism and minimalism and I guess that these two new distros won't come with a lot of bloat. So, yes, I'm curious and will definitely give it a try.

@itsfoss nautilus, vivaldi, vs codium, terminal, gimp
Will this be evaluated?

@itsfoss Besides all the things you mention, it is absolutely easy to (re)install linux if something went wrong. It's a matter of 10 minutes, no complicated activation required.
And more: virtual machines are made easy as well. Some DEs even come with the needed tools onboard (boxes in Gnome). So you can check out other distros without affecting your system - including Windows :-)

@itsfoss Main improvements: 1. Drivers for our of the box use of common hardware 2. The general ease of use of most distributions (even for beginners). 3. Graphical user interface making things possible without any knowledge of terminal commands. 4. Simple installation and/or live sessions

@itsfoss There still is a chance that Linux becomes a leader for private cloud computing. It's a niche (compared to business solutions). The hurdle is that it will always cause costs for the cloud service even if the Linux distribution is free. But I believe in a couple of years we all will have our workspace somewhere in the cloud and no longer on physical devices at home. You can then access your workspace from any device including your phone. Fees will become a matter of course.
