Siduction linux 2018.1.0: In the last days and after the release of Linux Kernel 4.15, which fixes vulnerabilities Meltdown and Specter without burdening system performance, I was thinking of trying a Debian-based distribution that supports the new kernel.
Arch-based distributions (Manjaro, Antergos etc.) directly support every new Kernel, but I was looking for something in Debian. Because, then, I've already tried it SparkyLinux, I decided to see the Siduction.
The Siduction distribution is a desktop-oriented operating system, and is based on the "unstable" or "unstable" version of Debian GNU / Linux. The siduction has a Live DVD, but also a very fast Calamares installer unlike the traditional Debian Installer which is very slow.
I installed the latest Siduction 2018.1.0 version which comes in KDE, LXQt, GNOME, Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE, LXDE, Xorg and noX flavors. All ISOs are enhanced with some very useful packages and various scripts, along with a custom patched version of the linux-kernel 4.14.10, accompanied by X-Server 1.19.5 and systemd 236.
The image below shows the upgraded kernel
This specific version of "patience 2018.1.0" and although based on the unstable Debian sid, I have not experienced any problems to date.
After all, an unstable Debian is many times more stable than many other "fixed" distributions.
The distribution comes with LibreOffice 6.0 and the latest firefox (58.0.1) installed without the rest. .
The distribution offers out of the box, non-free softwares, without having to hack the sources.list.
Of course for those who only choose free software, right after installation, you can remove all Non-free with one click with the help of an embedded script.
Below is the list of non-free and contrib packages that will be installed by default:

Thanks…
Good evening
Ok… All known .. I had not seen an answer above πάνω Good evening…
Manual? Terminal and not Synaptic; Or install the driver from the Nvidia site?
terminal
nvidia driver will be new and there may be a compatibility issue. Read
https://linoxide.com/debian/install-nvidia-driver-debian/
At Tumbleweed, Nvidia's proprietary driver is updated, when necessary, with the Kernel Update
Because my love with Debian is bigger than OpenSuse, what happens to Siduction?
and for debian I use busted (10) repos. The siduction uses sid. Whatever you do with Debian is nothing automatic. The most automated debian fork I've found is antix and mx
Nvidia's driver is in non-free Debian repositories…
The issue is, what happens to kernel updates….
The question is whether the non-free repositories where Nvidia drivers are located, keep up with kernel updates….
yes i understand what you say. I know by hand if you installed it with nvidia drivers and nvidia kernel-dkms. With the hand and you have no trouble going along do not keep up
That is, with apt-get?
