BackSlash Linux is an Ubuntu-based desktop distribution with a custom desktop-based shell KDE Plasma. The BackSlash distribution as you will see in the images below has a UI-inspired macOS.
Today, the developer behind the project, announced a new operating version. BackSlash Linux Kristoff, according to the developer, comes with new technologies that make the computer more reliable. The new version brings the new redesigned UI with BackSlash Shell v2.0.
The distribution uses Linux Kernel Linux HWE v4.13 and supports fingerprint unlocking for the first time in Linux. The new Shell brings the Desktop Cube (Meta + Control + Left or Right Arrow) to switch to Desktops, as well as the Cover Flow task Switcher.
BackSlash Linux Kristoff runs with the latest Ubuntu LTS and features professional design, enhancements and many new features.
I ran the operating system from a live USB and was initially excited by its design.
Its UI does not really resemble a Linux system, or more specifically Ubuntu. Of course, searching a bit, I remembered everything that makes me not like its distribution Canonical. Among the things I didn't like was choosing Google Chrome instead of Firefox, as well as the OpenOffice (an application that as I had mentioned from the Secnews.gr, developers move LibreOffice) instead of LibreOffice.
On the other hand BackSlash Linux in the Kristoff version is a very remarkable distribution, with impressive UI and Ububtu stability.
As for the stability of Ubuntu, it should not be taken for granted in any fork.
But in BackSlash Linux Kristoff that I recall I ran Live from USB, I did not notice anything paradoxical. Of course I should mention that for a good review that can speak safely about the reliability of a system, the operating system should be installed properly, and worked for at least a week by the reviewer.
Look at them screenshots and download the distribution
(do not try installing it in VM)
Why not run it in VM ????
