Slashdot Reader Builds 'Spaced Linux', a New Devuan-Based, User-Friendly Desktop Distro
↗
A long-time Linux administrator has released Spaced Linux, an early-stage Devuan Ceres-based desktop distribution that emphasizes Compiz 3D desktop effects and Flatpak package management.
For engineers seeking a desktop with out-of-the-box Nvidia support and familiar theming options, Spaced Linux offers an opinionated alternative, though its single-source provenance demands caution. The Flatpak-first approach reduces dependency management overhead, but the project's early status means limited track record for reliability in production-adjacent use.

Spaced Linux uses the rolling Devuan Ceres backend and promotes Flatpak to avoid dependency conflicts.
The distribution focuses on the Compiz 3D desktop and ships themes mimicking Windows 3.11 through Windows 11, Mac OS X, Android, and GeoWorks.
The creator claims Nvidia support and Windows application compatibility via Wine work out of the box.
