Q4OS
Efficient, Rock Stable Operating System
Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux. It deploys Plasma, optionally Trinity, as desktop environment on top of Debian Linux rock stable base. The goal is to provide long-term supported system with a special emphasis on security. This is exactly what Debian base guarantees. We prefer the Debian development model to keep the core system as immutable as possible. It results in a reliable and stable system that you can definitely rely on. Thanks to unique Q4OS tools a user can rather easily achieve setup of a fitted system eliminating superfluous packages and libraries. Therefore Q4OS performs faster and more efficient, doesn't exploit memory and computing resources with useless tasks and processes. Another exclusive Q4OS feature is an optimized support for setting up Trinity desktop environment alongside the default Plasma desktop. Installed side by side, carefully separated, both ready to run as needed. Just select one at login. -

Fira Code
Free monospaced font with programming ligatures
Fira Code is a free and open source monospaced font containing programming ligatures for the most commonly-used multi-character combinations in programming. Programmers use a lot of symbols that are encoded through a series of characters. Often these symbols are quickly done and overlooked, causing errors due to spacing, etc. Fira Code helps solve such problems. While all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, such is not yet the case. Until then, there's Fira Code. Fira Code's solution is clean, simple and only font rendering. This means that the underlying code is still very much ASCII-compatible, allowing for the faster reading and understanding of code. -
