Chakra Linux

-

The distributi­on bills itself as a KDE-centric distributi­on and you’ll be hard pressed to find a non-KDE app in its menus. The developers also strip GTK+ dependenci­es from popular Gnome-based packages that you can install from its repositori­es. Chakra also looks inviting and uses the SDDM display manager which is quite slick and integrates nicely with the Plasma desktop. Besides the usual slew of KDE apps, the distributi­on also includes several you will not find elsewhere such as the Bomi media player, Tomahawk music player, and KDE’s Storage service manager. Things related to the Chakra project such as links to the documentat­ion, forums, bugtracker, package changelog, code repository, etc, are neatly arranged inside a Chakra submenu in the Applicatio­n menu. Clearly the goal is to give users an end-to-end KDE experience.
