Unfortunately, I found Parabola's installation guide rather unhelpful.

This can be done via the MATE ISO (simply open a terminal window) but I decided to try the main ISO instead.

The recommended way to install Parabola is by using the command line. (full image size: 469kB, resolution: 1366x768 pixels) Parabola GNU/Linux-libre 2017.05.28 - The command line installer The installation did finish but after rebooting my laptop I was presented with a completely black screen. It seems the installer is an experimental feature - there is hardly any documentation about it and while going through the installation steps I got error after error. The live CD's graphical installer didn't work for me either. (full image size: 491kB, resolution: 1366x768 pixels) Parabola GNU/Linux-libre 2017.05.28 - Running the live MATE desktop with Abiword I also found that the Abiword word processor was completely unusable it somehow had a black background and trying to type or click anything would make the window flicker for several seconds. I have seen that issue before in MATE 1.16 (which is the MATE version the live ISO uses) and think it is related to applications missing GTK+ version 3 support. The most annoying issue was that menus often looked completely squashed. While exploring the live environment I did note several bugs in applications. I was pleased to find that I could connect to wireless networks and that graphics and sound worked as expected. The 64-bit image is 2.2GB in size and boots to a rather pink-looking MATE desktop (the wallpaper and use of purple for elements like scroll bars reminded me of Pony OS).
#Arch linux qupzilla trial#
My main concern before I started my trial was hardware support and I therefore first tried the live ISO for version 2017.05.28. Interestingly, it is also possible to migrate from Arch Linux to Parabola. The main ISO boots to a command line, where we can manually install the operating system, while a live ISO gives us the MATE desktop and access to a basic graphical installer. The distribution is available for the armv7, i686 and x86_64 architectures.
On top of that Parabola removes any non-free packages from the system.
#Arch linux qupzilla software#
The distribution is based on Arch Linux and ships with the Linux-libre kernel, which doesn't include software for which no source code is available (or which is otherwise proprietary).
#Arch linux qupzilla for free#
Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is one of a few Linux distributions that meet the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) guidelines for free operating systems.
In our Tips and Tricks column we explore creating a media server using Linux and a Raspberry Pi computer. We also discuss new features coming to the MINIX operating system. Then, in our News section, we talk about the new roadmap for Tails features and an exciting new ports system for DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD and Linux. Read on to find out how Parabola's stance on software freedom affects the distribution.
This week Robert Rijkhoff takes an entirely free operating system, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, for a test run and reports on his findings. However, most Linux distributions do feature a few non-free components, such as firmware or media codecs, which are provided under more restrictive licensing terms. The ability to read and improve code is a large part of what draws developers to GNU, Linux and related projects. The freedom to audit and modify software is one of the key ideas GNU/Linux distributions are based on. Welcome to this year's 37th issue of DistroWatch Weekly!
