Thinking one can as usual change resolution from the Plasma system settings my screen resolution of 1920x1080 did not show on the list of options. After answering a question about the keyboard layout (this does not set the language which remains US English) we are logged into the desktop which dropped me at a basic resolution, no dynamic resizing in Virtualbox here. I love this because in my experience it is a more reliable way of installing - not only for PCLOS but in general.Ĭhoosing the live CD option the distribution boots up with the splash screen showing the trademark PCLOS bull on blue background. We can also install the distribution directly from here without first having to boot into the desktop and intalling from live session. Some additional applications include Timeshift, photo and image editing software, Megasync, Anydesk, Kodi pre-installed, the Calibre book reader, the Skrooge banking software and the Spotify client plus Firefox, Thunderbird, Strawberry music player and the VLC video player.Ī 64bit Intel or AMD processor, at least 2 GB RAM, at least 15 to 20 GB of hard drive space, a nVidia, ATI HD 4000+ or Intel video card.īooting up brings us to a colorful Grub2 menu from where we can start the the LiveCD, start without splash, boot in video safe mode or safe boot, just boot into a console environment to work from the shell or copy the system into RAM for a blazing fast desktop responsiveness - if you have enough memory. This Full version ISO comes with the standard compliment of KDE applications plus LibreOffice. A more trimmed mini version of 1.2 GB is also available. After the download completed it took 2.7 GB on my XFS formatted partition but its size is stated as 2.4 GB on the download page. As the one with KDE is the main, default or standard edition I opted to use this for my trials. There also used to be a KDE Full Monty edition now called the Magnum version which is 3.8 GB.Ģ020.1015 is the latest release. This one wants to revive the feel and flair of the classic PCLOS 2007. Currently these are LXQT, Openbox, TDE mini using the Trinity desktop and a larger Trinity BigDaddy edition. PCLOS offers KDE, XFCE and MATE editions and from time to time community releases.
