Kochani!
Marzec dobiega końca, a na naszym pasku tylko 23% donacji.
Jest nam już coraz ciężej utrzymać się w wirtualnym świecie, bo z wyskakujących reklam Giganta prawie nic już nie zarabiamy (Gigant pozbawił nas większości zarobków z reklam). Jeśli sytuacja wciąż się będzie utrzymywać, będziemy zmuszeni całkowicie zrezygnować z reklam Giganta...

Dear Friends!
March is coming to an end, and our donations are only 23%.

It's becoming increasingly difficult for us to survive in the virtual world, as we're earning almost nothing from Giant's pop-up ads (Giant has cut off most of our advertising revenue). If this situation continues, we'll be forced to completely stop using Giant's ads, so we're asking for your support, which is desperately needed and, as always, invaluable.

The 1st monthly Sparky project and donate report of the 2026
Dear Friends!
For the first time in many months, we managed to raise the entire amount needed to survive another month :)
We are proud of you for rising to the occasion, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts :)
Don't forget about us in the coming months, because without you, we wouldn't be here.

Am Samstag noch großen Ärger mit dem #PikaOS gehabt. Das große Systemupdate, mehr als 1000 neue Pakete, hatte einfach alles zerschossen. Liebe Devs, wenn man schon so ein heftiges Update herausbringt, wäre vorher testen schon sehr geil gewesen.

Also der Test war somit nicht erfolgreich. Das Projekt muss wohl noch länger reifen. Ich bin jetzt wieder mit @mxlinux unterwegs. Und dank der Timeshift Sicherung war der Umzug jetzt auch nicht so dramatisch.

Auf der Arbeit läuft noch das @SparkyLinux erfolgreich auf dem Laptop vor sich hin, trotzt das es Semi Rolling ist. Bisher keinen einzigen Updatefail gehabt.

#linux #mxlinux #sparkylinux

Dear Friends!
We already have the full amount for the servers - mega happy, thank you :)
We still lack the money to survive another month - we only have 38% of the donation :(
We wholeheartedly thank you for your support, which, as always, is invaluable. As always, we encourage more users to support us, because without your support, we won't be able to survive.

Kochani!
Mamy już całą kwotę na serwery - mega szczęśliwi, dziękujemy :)
Brakuje nam jeszcze pieniędzy na przeżycie kolejnego miesiąca - mamy zaledwie 38% donacji :(
Z całego serca dziękujemy Wam za wsparcie, które jak zawsze jest nieocenione i jak zwykle zachęcamy kolejnych użytkowników do wsparcia nas, bo bez Waszego wsparcia nie damy rady przeżyć.
Możecie nam również pomóc udostępniając naszą zbiórkę.

Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.

I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.

View the list here: https://codeberg.org/resplendent606/terminal-tilt/src/branch/main/docs/debian-distros.md

Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Daily Drivers (Ease of use):

LMDE - Linux Mint + Debian, no Ubuntu, Mint polish

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Daily Drivers (Ease of use):

LMDE - Linux Mint + Debian, no Ubuntu, Mint polish
MX Linux - MXTools is helpful
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured desktop, from China.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated, snappy
Neptune - Polished KDE Plasma on stable Debian w/newer kernels.
SpiralLinux – Pure Debian with modern defaults (Btrfs, ZRAM).
SolydXK – Simplified XFCE/KDE desktops for stability.
Lingmo OS / Mauna Linux / Br OS - Recent, beautiful desktops (China/Brazil)

Modern/Atomic (Immutable):

Vanilla OS - Atomic updates, can run Fedora/Arch apps via Apx.
blendOS - Atomic, lets you choose DE (KDE, XFCE, etc), can install applications from other Linux distros.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), Maui shell, immutable, heavy reliance on AppImage

High Performance and Gaming:

Siduction - Rolling release based on Debian Sid.
SparkyLinux - Great for gaming, newer drivers.
PikaOS - Gaming with high-performance kernel opimizations.

Multimedia/Creative:

AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.

Minimalist:

BashCore - Ultra minimalist, branding free CLI environment.
Slax - Modular, tiny, runs from a USB stick.

Performance and Old Hardware (Lightweight):

antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
CrunchBang++ (#!++)- Minimalist, Debian + Openbox, continuation of original Crunchbang.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox, keyboard centric.
Window Maker Live - 90s NeXTSTEP look, fast, retro.
Puppy Linux (DPup) - Runes entirely on RAM, fast.
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Damn Small Linux - Stays under 700MB.
wattOS - Low power consumption and simplicity.
Q4OS – Trinity desktop, can mimic Windows XP/7.
Commodore OS Vision - Retro computing aesthetic.

Security, Privacy, and Stealth:

Qubes OS - Isolates everything inside Xen VMs, has Debian and Fedora as default templates.
Tails - Amnesic "Snowden" OS, leaves no trace on hardware.
Whonix - Extreme privacy via dual-VM gateway/workstation.
Kodachi - Hardened, pre-routed live OS alternative to Tails.
Septor – Surf the web anonymously.
Kicksecure - Hardened Debian layer (the base for Whonix).

IT and SysAdmin Toolbox:

Kali Linux/Parrot OS - "Hackerman" suites for penetration testing.
GParted Live/Dr. Parted - Disk partitioning
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - "Oh Shit Buttons", emergency ktis for broken PCs.
SysLinuxOS/Kaisen - Built for network admins and system integrators.

Servers, Cloud, and Self Hosting:

Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS Scale - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault - Turns old hardwrae into NAS
umbrelOS/StartOS/YunoHost - self-host your own cloud.
Univention (UCS) - Professional Debian for corporate identity mangement.
