MeX Linux
MeX 64 bit with the GNOME 50 Desktop and Kodi 21.1 Omega
MeX 64 bit Linux is based on Debian "Sid" and upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. FEATURES MeX uses the GNOME 50 Desktop, Kodi 21.1 and kernel 7.0.0-rc5-amd64-exton. INSTALL TO HARD DRIVE/USB PEN DRIVE MeX Linux can easily be installed to hard drive and/or to a USB pen drive. RUNS IN RAM Another big improvement is that MeX now can run from RAM. When the system has booted up you can enjoy a really fast system! You’ll need at least 6 GB RAM to run MeX that way. I.e. super fast! UPGRADE If you install MeX Linux to hard drive you will always get the latest package versions if you run the following commands: "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt upgrade". INSTALL to hard drive MeX uses Calamares Installer. IMPORTANT about Refracta Snapshot You can use the Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed in MeX) to create your own installable Ubuntu 26.04 Live System. I mean change everything and then create a whole new Ubuntu live system. Can also be done while running MeX live. -

Bottlerocket OS
An operating system designed for hosting containers
Bottlerocket is a free and open-source Linux-based operating system meant for hosting containers. Bottlerocket focuses on security and maintainability, providing a reliable, consistent, and safe platform for container-based workloads. This is a reflection of what we've learned building operating systems and services at Amazon. The base operating system has just what you need to run containers reliably, and is built with standard open-source components. Bottlerocket-specific additions focus on reliable updates and on the API. Instead of making configuration changes manually, you can change settings with an API call, and these changes are automatically migrated through updates. Hosting containers doesn’t require much from an operating system and hosting containers is all Bottlerocket aims to do. Many of the packages, tools, interpreters, and dependencies installed by default in general-purpose Linux distributions are simply not needed to only host containers. -

Mind Guard Linux
Mind Guard OS Made For Minds
Have you ever wanted to have a portable MindGuard operating system, that can live inside a small USB flash drive and you can carry it around with you? Although, this is possible and have been around for some time. It was possible for a paranoid to run MindGuard from a USB stick just like you would have run it from a hard drive, but this task was quite hard to do. Why? Because the process was very geeky! You had to type a lot of geeky commands in a terminal and if, somehow, you forgot one or typed something wrong, the process had to be started all over again. Well, the process is now not at all geeky with Mind Guard Linux available that makes it possible for anyone to create a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive with MindGuard in it. Mind Guard Linux 2018 is available now, based on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. User Name & Password is Linux. MGL NoPAE ISO is for Machines with 4GB RAM & MGL PAE ISO is for Machines with Maximum up to 64GB of RAM. Mind Guard is the Glasses. -
