There are thousands of Linux distributions to choose from, ranging from the user-friendly (such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint) to the very complicated (such as Gentoo). Every distribution that claims to be user-friendly isn't exactly cut from the same cloth, and how a distribution is made user-friendly depends on a great number of things. Package managers, desktop environments, and pre-installed applications are all areas that every Linux distribution claiming to be user-friendly must consider.

To that end, when a new distribution arrives, claiming to be user-friendly, the first thing I do is examine those three areas. So when the developer of GeckoLinux announced a new distribution, called Spiral Linux, I did just that.

What is Spiral Linux?
Spiral Linux is a Linux distribution, geared for users who aren't as familiar with Linux (although there is an option for advanced users) that is based on Debian Linux with the lofty goal of supporting all major Linux desktop environments. At the moment, Spiral Linux offers versions for the following desktops:

Cinnamon
Xfce
GNOME
KDE Plasma
Mate
Budgie
LXQt
Being based on Debian ensures the OS will be very stable, reliable, and performant, with the caveat being that some of the applications are always of the stable release (which means they can be a bit behind). That's fine because stability and reliability are the name of the game here and you don't want bleeding-edge apps on a production desktop.

Some of the unique features of Sprial Linux include:

Support for newer hardware (thanks to the 5.16 kernel and installed proprietary firmware).
Easily upgradable to Debian Testing or Unstable branches.
Btrfs subvolume layout with Zstd transparent compression and Snapper snapshots for easy rollbacks.
Extensive printer support.
Optimized for power management with TLP preinstalled.
VirtualBox support out of the box.
zRAM swap for better performance.
Normal users are automatically added to the sudo group.

The developer has taken into consideration what a Linux distribution for new users should look like. The only miss here is the lack of a Welcome app to ease onboarding for new users. Even with that oversight, Spiral Linux is a wonderful Linux distribution that anyone could feel immediately at home on. I installed the Budgie version of Spiral Linux

Did we really need yet another Linux distribution?
If you ask most any Linux users, the answer to that question is a resounding "Yes!" Why? Because Linux has always been about choice and having more choices is often considered a good thing.
