Search the DistroWatch database for distributions using a particular package. If you are looking for a distribution with the latest kernel, select «linux» from the drop-down box below and type the version number into the text box next to it. Please note that the best way to obtain the GNOME version is by searching for «nautilus», while KDE Plasma is represented by the «plasma-desktop» package. Apache 2.x is listed as «httpd». As for versioning, if no version number is provided, this page will return any recent versions of the selected package. It is also possible to perform searches for distributions which do not contain a specific package. This returns a list of distributions where the given package is not present on the installation media.
The package version search offers the ability to search for packages which are close to a specific version, exactly equal to a specific version, greater than or less than a given version. The second field in the search form allows visitors to switch between these relations. Most people will probably want to use the like option as it will search for packages close to a given version. When no version is specified, like finds packages close to the latest version.
This page can be used to display all distributions which contain a specific package or version of a package. We also have search pages which display a side-by-side comparison of all packages beetween two distriutions. We also provide a package which shows the version of a selected package in all active distributions.
Have fun and let us know how we can improve the search engine!
Search by Distribution Criteria (Simple Search Form)
The following distributions match your criteria (sorted by popularity):
1. EndeavourOS (2) EndeavourOS is a rolling release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. The project aims to be a spiritual successor to Antergos — providing an easy setup and pre-configured desktop environment on an Arch base. EndeavourOS offers both off-line and on-line install options. The off-line installer, Calamares, uses the Xfce desktop by default. The on-line installer can install optional software components, including most popular desktop environments.
2. Manjaro Linux (3) Manjaro Linux is a fast, user-friendly, desktop-oriented operating system based on Arch Linux. Key features include intuitive installation process, automatic hardware detection, stable rolling-release model, ability to install multiple kernels, special Bash scripts for managing graphics drivers and extensive desktop configurability. Manjaro Linux offers Xfce as the core desktop options, as well as KDE, GNOME and a minimalist Net edition for more advanced users. Community-supported desktop flavours are also available.
3. Debian (7) The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 50,000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) — all of it free. It’s a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian — carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.
4. Garuda Linux (8) Garuda Linux is a rolling distribution based on the Arch Linux operating system. Unlike Arch Linux, Garuda Linux comes with a graphical installer (Calamares) for easy installation, and other advanced graphical tools for managing your system. Garuda is a performance-oriented distro with many performance enhancing tweaks. Some of the many tweaks include using zram, a performance CPU governor, along with custom memory management software. Garuda Linux has striven to provide system stability by including the Timeshift backup utility.
5. Fedora (10) Fedora Linux (formerly Fedora, formerly Fedora Core) is a Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and owned by Red Hat. Fedora Linux contains software distributed under a free and open-source license and aims to be on the leading edge of such technologies. Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. The default desktop in Fedora Linux is the GNOME desktop environment and the default interface is the GNOME Shell. Other desktop environments, including KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE and Cinnamon, are available. The Fedora project also distributes custom variations of Fedora called Fedora spins. These are built with specific sets of software packages, offering alternative desktop environments or targeting specific interests such as gaming, security, design, scientific computing and robotics.
6. ArcoLinux (23) ArcoLinux (previously known as ArchMerge) is a distribution based on Arch Linux. The development takes places in three branches — ArcoLinux, ArcoLinuxD and ArcoLinuxB. ArcoLinux is a full-featured distribution that ships with the Xfce desktop (as well as Openbox and i3 window managers). ArcoLinuxD is a minimal distribution that includes scripts that enable power users to install any desktop and application. ArcoLinuxB is a project that gives users the power to build custom distributions, while also developing several community editions with pre-configured desktops, such as Awesome, bspwm, Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, GNOME, MATE and KDE Plasma. ArcoLinux also provides various video tutorials as it places strong focus on learning and acquiring Linux skills.
7. NixOS (54) NixOS is an independently developed GNU/Linux distribution that aims to improve the state of the art in system configuration management. In NixOS, the entire operating system, including the kernel, applications, system packages and configuration files, are built by the Nix package manager. Nix stores all packages in isolation from each other; as a result there are no /bin, /sbin, /lib or /usr directories and all packages are kept in /nix/store instead. Other innovative features of NixOS include reliable upgrades, rollbacks, reproducible system configurations, source-based model with binaries, and multi-user package management. Although NixOS started as a research project, it is now a functional and usable operating system that includes hardware detection, KDE as the default desktop, and systemd for managing system services.
8. Snal Linux (83) Snal Linux is a small Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It features the i3 window manager and it includes the Firefox web browser, as well as a handful of network and filesystem utilities. It is intended to be used as a live image to troubleshoot hard disk, system and network problems.
9. Tiny Core Linux (86) Tiny Core Linux is a 12 MB graphical Linux desktop. It is based on a recent Linux kernel, BusyBox, Tiny X, Fltk, and Flwm. The core runs entirely in memory and boots very quickly. The user has complete control over which applications and/or additional hardware to have supported, be it for a desktop, a nettop, an appliance or server; selectable from the project’s online repository.
10. Archman GNU/Linux (97) Archman GNU/Linux is an Arch Linux-based distribution which features the Calamares system installer and a pre-configured desktop environment. Archman also features the Pamac package manager for easy installation of new software packages.
11. ArchBang Linux (122) ArchBang Linux is a lightweight distribution based on Arch Linux. Using the i3 window manager, it is fast, up-to-date and suitable for both desktop and portable systems.
12. Star (177) Star is a desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Devuan GNU+Linux. Star is available in a range of editions, each featuring a lightweight desktop environment. Star is small enough to fit on a CD and uses SysV init software.
13. Source Mage GNU/Linux (222) Sourcemage is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a Sorcery metaphor of ‘casting’ and ‘dispelling’ programs, which we refer to as ‘spells’.

Bedrock Linux и i3wm
Дистрибутив — Bedrock Linux Оконный менеджер — i3wm
### ВСТУПЛЕНИЕ ### Знаете, вот вроде стоит Arch, перепробовал уже кучу дистрибутивов, все устраивает, а все равно есть какой-то зуд в 5 точке. Хочется чего-то нового. Тоже самое вновь случилось со мной. И не один раз. Я успел попробовать Void, NixOS, Artix (чуть ниже кратко напишу о них), опять поставил Gentoo, а покоя все нет. И вот очередной дистрибутив, на который я наткнулся — Bedrock Linux. Раньше я про него не слышал и начал его изучать.
Void — очень быстрый дистрибутив. На обычном жестком диске загружается меньше чем на полминуты. Пакетный менеджер по скорости можно сравнить даже с pacman’ом из Arch’а. Реально очень хороший и интересный дистрибутив. NixOS — лично у меня он не прижился из-за своей системы усправления пакетами. Но на самом деле, очень даже приятная система, но на любителя.
Artix — просто хороший дистрибутив. Быстр, основан на Arch’e.
### О ДИСТРИБУТИВЕ ### Bedrock — необычный дистрибутив. Я даже не знаю можно ли его вообще так называть. По своей сути, он является лишь мостом между несколькими частями. О чем я говорю? Суть в том, что Bedrock позволяет установить и использовать поверх одного дистрибутива другой. К тому же, в отличие от других дистрибутивов, он не имеет полноценного установщика. Для этого используется скрипт.
### УСТАНОВКА ### Устанавливается Bedrock из уже готовой системы. Нужно всего лишь выполнить скрипт от рута и подтвердить установку. Теперь дистрибутив превращается в Bedrock, а система, с который вы ставили Bedrock — stratum’ом. Это что-то похожее на chroot. Таких stratum’ов можно устанавливать несколько.
После установки следует перезагрузка, во время которой вы можете выбрать систему инициализации.
### ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ### Чтобы обновить дистрибутив и пакеты необходимо обновлять каждый stratum средтвами системы (pacman в Arch, apt в Debian и т. д.). # brl update — чтобы обновить сам Bedrock. # brl fetch —list — список доступных для установки дистрибутивов. # brl fetch — установить дистрибутив.
$ sudo remove -d — отключить и удалить дистрибутив.
### ПРЕИМУЩЕСТВА ### Плюсы этого мета-дистрибутива в том, что он позволяет использовать преимущества разных систем в одной. Например, вы можете использовать Debian и свежие пакеты из репозиториев Arch’а (хотя зачем тогда вообще использовать дебу… ну не суть). Или же, например, использовать Arch с системой инициализации из Void. Можно использовать Ubuntu, но собрать какой-либо пакет с необходимыми USE-флагами из Gentoo. Все это происходит благодаря Bedrock.
### НЕДОСТАТКИ ### Далеко не все дистрибутивы поддерживают установку поверх себя Bedrock Linux. А среди тех, которые поддерживают, нередко встречаются ошибки. Также, после установки Bedrock’а уже невозможно вернуть первоначальный дистрибутив. Хоть об этом и предупреждают в начале установки, но все же…
### ОФОРМЛЕНИЕ ### Как же я могу не упомянуть свой любимый i3 🙂 Я немного доработал цветовую схему, с помощью pywal подогнал все элементы системы под единое цветовое оформление. Нашел себе красивый шрифт.
### ПРОГРАММЫ ### Вот краткий список используемых мною программ: nnn — файловый менеджер vim — текстовый редактор и ide для написания кода на python htop — просмотр процессов neofetch и pfetch — просмотр информации о системе feh — просмотр изображений и установка фонового изображения picom — композитный менеджер libreoffice — офис dunst — уведомления rofi — запуск приложений
### ВЫВОД ### На самом деле, Bedrock — очень интересная вещь. Для меня он стал полезным инструментом и глотком свежего воздуха. Он многим отличается от других дистрибутивов, даже самой концепцией.
