PakOS / Blog: Recent posts

After learning a lot from my mentors like eznix and his great community at youtube, i decided to starts from scratch using Debain 10, and Lxqt, an extremely light weight and polished Desktop Environment for its size. Result is a more stable, light weight and full featured (IMHO) expeience. I have tried to include every thing needed for daily use by a common user. All suggestions and reviews are welcome. Out look has been kept silimar to M$ Windows by design, however this time, other themes have not been left out, so you are free to change all theming as per your tastes. Clam AV Antivirus is installed with latest signatures pre-installed, however its service has been turned off to reduce RAM usage, which is still under 200 MB. However if Anti-virus service is turned on, it will jumt to more than 700 MB, so be careful before deciding. Latest versions of WPS office, Etcher, Crosscover (Please buy liscence to activate) etc have been included, inclding Firefox Quantum. No Addons are pre-installed, as i could not do it :), but as soon as i am able to do it, i will add, 4-5 security add-ons.
Happy Usage,

Hence PakOS, a completly open souce OS with extrmemely light foot print in terms of RAM and processor usage. I hope to make it work in 256 MB RAM and a single core processor in real world use, with visual outlook similar to windows.
Also it has to be resonably secue for home, office and Internet use. It can be achieved by these means:... read more
