If you are just taking your first steps in Linux, you should begin your journey with Nitrux. It leverages some of the most stable and well-respected open-source projects and builds on them to create a distro that suits the sensibilities of new Linux users.
For instance, instead of building a custom desktop environment from scratch, Nitrux relies on KDE Plasma’s malleability along with some redesigned components to simplify workflow for new users. It offers a couple of layouts for the desktop to enable users to make best use of the screen real estate.
Nitrux has even customised some admin apps to make tasks such as firewall and backup approachable for inexperienced users. It ships with a good dose of apps for all kinds of desktop tasks.
The distro also supports and encourages the use of AppImages, makes it straightforward to install extra apps. In fact, Nitrux plans to eventually switch all its graphical apps to AppImages. These are launched in a Firejail sandbox, which makes Nitrux more secure out of the box than your typical desktop Linux.
