Big has been my daily driver for about a year now and haven't had any of the issues I had with Manjaro so it's definitely far more stable and it's been solid on the 4 machines I have it installed on (both AMD and Intel with Radeon and Nvidia cards)
@@pupaepedorraI've played with Garuda for a bit but it didn't work quite as well for me as a daily driver. Garuda is great if gaming is your main focus but big fit my needs a bit better out of the box while still being good for gaming. The big issues I had were with some of the apps I use daily for my hardware keys, network troubleshooting and data recovery didn't work as reliably as I needed them to be for my main daily driver. The control center and .deb support out of the box also makes life a helluva lot easier as well as some apps I needed were only available as a .deb package but I prefer an arch based distro over debian
this distro is awesome, as someone whos quite new to linux and has been distro hopping to find the best one this is by far the best so far. It uses Arch so it uses pacman but I am used to using apt and when you type in sudo apt install it will auto correct to pacman and carry on with the install or whatever function you typed. That is very user friendly and a nice touch from the devs.
Looks nice. Seems like they are going for a more polished up Manjaro here. Might be the Linux Mint of the Arch derivatives in the works here. We'll see if this distro is still around in a year or not.
It looks pretty good and has a lot of inclusions with it. The layout manager looks like what Zorin OS has. It would have been nice if you covered a few of its unique features like file compression, convert and resize of various files from the right click and running android apps. I'd still be a little weary of running anything Manjaro based again though.
I've been using this for about a year now. I haven't had any issues and find it a pleasure to use. I've looked at a lot of other distros and nothing else measures up for me.
Thank you Sir for this detailed walkthrough. Big Linux will be also on my test drive list now. I will definitely ditch Windows asap, as they have implemented their surveillance measures since October 2023. Thanks for all your efforts & please keep going!! 😎✌️
I have tried many distros but this is the best for me! It's easy to run! It has a nice clean look and easy to customize! Beautiful wallpapers and fast OS!
this ain't a bad looking distro, but i am also stuck with garuda. i really love garuda assistant bc i'm not very good at using the CLI and all the commands, and with the assistant i can reinstall all the apps and reset the os back to default.
I have been darling driving Big Linux ever since watching your first video on it. I was a destro hopper but once I installed BL, I stopped. It's only getting better and better. And yet still not on destrowatch. What a shame.
I've ran 100's of distro's on my alienware 14r the wife's college give away, 2 of my HP snails and none of them could run the speeds that the Big L gives them So I will be installing Big Linux on my gaming rig as a duel boot and give it it's own M.2 , The Big is the best hands down.
Not using it right now because my 2010 laptop is way too old for that. Maybe if there were a BigLinux XFCE spin it would be perfect for me. For now I'll keep it running Mint
serious hiss on your mic Garuda failed to notice that my vulkan driver was not working. Uninstalling vulkand didn't work. Its not a system for below 6th Gen i5s
Congratulations on your channel! As a 56-year-old Linux fan, I've learned a lot thanks to you. Can I ask you the following: Yesterday, I received an Acer Swift laptop with an i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 258GB SSD that is already running very slowly with Windows. What distro(s) would you recommend for that laptop in November 2023? Thanks in advance for your help
I have an equivalent old Sony Vaio. i3-330m, 4gb, ssd 120gb. The easiest solution for me was Linux Mint XFCE Now after upgrading to i7-620m, 8gb I run several tests with, Arch, Arco, Fedora 39 XFCE and Cinnamon, BigLinux KDE, Manjaro XFCE, Linux Lite 6.6, Debian 12, LMDE 6, and Mint Cinnamon, Mate and XFCE. Mint, LMDE and Debian with XFCE runs flawlessly on my machine I'm currently on Mint 21.3 XFCE Still running others distro but now testing candidates for a dualboot
The name SUCKS. These guys got to be more creative with the names....it is Essential! and drop the LINUX after the name. Linux Mint for example should be called Mint or MintOS
@@eBuzzCentral Sure of course....but names matter...but I guess it REALLY depends if yu want to make a MAINstream Linux like Ubuntu or Fedora...that's where it will matter.

How does it compare to Garuda? I had used Garuda XFCE and, currently, Garuda KDE.

@@natewesselink thank you!
Big Linux is an awesome, stable, easy to used Arch based distribution .....im a big fan of it and Linux Mint
Yesss, another good solid vid from Troy, Ebuzz is back baby with more vids!!! Ya, daily drive BIg Linux!!

Its been around since 2004.
Nice to have you back and running regularly
I haven't tried Big Linux in a while. I might have to test drive it again. Great video!
Time to give it another look. I liked it then however, knew little about it as far as stability and what not. Thanks for your take. Much appreciated!
I may consider this for my laptop. I run Garuda on it now.

Thanks sir, going to give this a shot !
Have it on my laptop since your 1st video on it.
this ain't a bad looking distro, but i am also stuck with garuda. i really love garuda assistant bc i'm not very good at using the CLI and all the commands, and with the assistant i can reinstall all the apps and reset the os back to default.
It does look more like an Arch distro that could be more amenable to newer users.
I still enjoy voyager os but I may try this one at some point.

I was the same way, jumped between probably 15 or 20 distros and finally settled on big about a year or so ago and it hasn't let me down yet.
Is there a way to get boot up sounds for when you first log in? I miss those from win7
Thank You Troy
That's the old distro, a couple of days ago a full new upgrade with KDE 6.04 was distributed. The old Latte dock was more stable than the new one.
Makes me wanna try it but I swear I have bad luck with arch based distros. 😅
Garuda linux is solid
I've ran 100's of distro's on my alienware 14r the wife's college give away, 2 of my HP snails and none of them could run the speeds that the Big L gives them So I will be installing Big Linux on my gaming rig as a duel boot and give it it's own M.2 , The Big is the best hands down.
nice!
Muito bom😁
Not using it right now because my 2010 laptop is way too old for that. Maybe if there were a BigLinux XFCE spin it would be perfect for me. For now I'll keep it running Mint
If I download and install, will it be able to overwrite or remove my troublesome Mint?

Top recomento a distro
looks like windows 11 x peppermint
I guess that I am still scared of manjaro... it looks good tho
Any idea of how to do a BigLinux a PERSISTENT bootable drive?! Rufus - for some technical reasons - can't do the bootable drive, PERSISTENT!

Maybe try Clear Linux or Linux Lite

I have like a year using only linux
20 years now.
Very good
Big Linux!
whats the best linux with multi desktop option and support for nvidia and amd gpu drivers? also has rolling updates
thanks.
Opensuse Tumbleweed
ArcoLinux
A piity they dont have a gnome desktop
They have it, but it's not 100% yet, but if you're willing, you can test it.
Oh, remembering that it's a community version
Is this user friendly for Linux beginners?
Its based on KDE Plasma so its customisable. If you are on Windows, you’ll feel at home on KDE.
What I saw makes me say "nope"
The name SUCKS. These guys got to be more creative with the names....it is Essential! and drop the LINUX after the name. Linux Mint for example should be called Mint or MintOS
That is the beauty of linux, something for everyone. Thanks for the comment.
@@eBuzzCentral Sure of course....but names matter...but I guess it REALLY depends if yu want to make a MAINstream Linux like Ubuntu or Fedora...that's where it will matter.
Can u game on this system like gog and steam ?
Yes, very easy.
Can you copy their .deb .rpm features on arch?
