For computers and workstations, the FSF recommends the following distros, which can be installed on the computer’s hard drive or run without installation:
-
Dragora: based on the concepts of simplicity, elegance and oriented to users looking for an ethical software to be used every day.
-
Dyne:bolic: ideal for those who edit audio and video. It does not receive security updates, so it is important to use it without an Internet connection.
-
gNewSense: based on Debian and sponsored by the FSF. After a few years without active development, they plan to release a new version in 2021.
-
Guix: a distribution based on the GNU Guix package manager. Includes thousands of packages with applications, system tools, documentation, sources…
-
Hyperbola: a derivative of Arch Linux, with the security and stability of Debian. Simplicity, lightness and long-term support are its most outstanding characteristics.
-
Parabola: also based on Arch, focuses on easy management of both the system and packages.
-
PureOS: privacy, security and ease of use are the cornerstones of this Debian-based distribution. It is one of the most modern and best valued distros.
-
Trisquel: known as the free Ubuntu and especially useful for educational centers, home users and small businesses.
-
Ututo S: the first GNU / Linux system recognized by the GNU project as 100% free.
