Want a simple, stable, and secure Linux distribution? Then SpiralLinux is for you – ZDNet

The only changes I’ve made from the default are choosing a light theme and enabling the KDE Plasma floating panel.

SpiralLinux isn’t the most popular kid in school. It’s also not the prettiest, the smartest, or the one that always gets noticed. If you’re a fan of The Middle, consider it the “Sue Heck” of Linux distributions. It’s there, always there, and always positive, always trying, and always being its genuine self.

But why would you want to work with a distribution that isn’t showy or offers features to make it stand out in any way?

  • Because it’s reliable. 
  • Because it’s stable.
  • Because it’s secure.
  • Because it’s simple. 

SpiralLinux is that operating system. It’s one you can use without ever worrying you’ll spiral out of control because your computer isn’t doing what it should.
