Besgnulinux Linux "Best GNU Linux"

Based on the prior article I gave Besgnulinux Linux a try. It reminds me of MXLinux with its number of tools and utilities. Although it uses the JWM window manager, it looks very similar to XFCE. Besgnulinux includes Libreoffice office suite, Deluge BitTorrent client, the Brave Browser, a Brave TOR browser, a couple of music players (SMPlayer and MPV media player), and a Conky Viewer with a few themes. Appearance is black on gray. It runs very fast. It also offers some recommend Third Party applications. Overall, a nice Linux distro with lots of built in applications. Just the thing an older Windows PC user might need. Below are comments from ZDNET and my own screen shots. Enjoy.

From ZDNET: What in the world is that name? Every time I say it, I think, "Best GNU Linux."

Besgnulinux is the brainchild of a single developer who seems to be on a mission to keep old computers out of landfills, and I find that to be a very noble pursuit. The developer has taken Debian stable and created a user-friendly desktop with the help of the JWM window manager. What this does is create a very fast operating system that's also highly stable and works brilliantly on older hardware. 

I tested Besgnulinux as a virtual machine with only 2GB of RAM and a single CPU core. Guess what? The OS ran like it was on a powerful, modern desktop computer.

This distribution will appeal to anyone with an aging Windows 10 computer who doesn't care about having the most modern, eye-candy-laden UI and wants an OS they can trust will run reliably and well.

Besgnulinux uses the Calamares system installer, defaults to the Brave web browser, and includes over 40 custom-built tools to control the system's settings as well as the look and feel of the desktop.
