Introduction to the Distribution:
This modern distribution comes with a variety of software, some of which are under the development of the same project, the Uruk project. The distribution also comes with a set of features that make it a simple and fantastic distribution. Uruk GNU/Linux contains many default software to meet your needs when using your computer, including office and audio programs. Some of these features include:
Simplicity: Uruk GNU/Linux comes with many default software to meet your needs when using your computer, including office and audio programs, making it easy for most users to use it without any fear.
Full Control: Uruk GNU/Linux comes default with the “Mate” interface, so you can easily manage your system through the “Mate” control panel, which contains many tools to facilitate your system management. This interface is fast and beautiful at the same time, and the project has a huge impact on the beauty of the interface. You can also follow and install all updates for packages and programs through the update manager with a simplified graphical interface.
100% Free!: The Uruk project is committed to providing you with free software only, following the principles of free distributions and expanding according to the definition of free software to ensure the ability to use, study, modify, and share all parts of the work under free licenses only.
Manage your packages with any package manager you want: A great and unique feature of this distribution is that it comes with a package manager simulator. This program simulates the commands of the most famous package managers, so you can install, remove, update, and search for packages with any package manager you want, and we will learn more about the benefits of this in future lessons when we study package management on a Linux system.
Projects Developed by the Uruk Project:
- Uruk Cleaner: A program that cleans your system from old records and cache files, similar to the Bleachbit program that we have previously known in cleaning your system and maintaining your privacy with the free program Bleachbit.
- Uruk Package Manager Simulator (UPMS): This program can simulate the commands of the most famous package managers for other distributions, meaning you can install packages with commands from any package manager you want.
- Uruk Ocr Server: Image to text conversion service.
- Irc log recorder: A program that records all conversations in IRC chat channels and saves them in a log for review later.
- Massa Icon Set: Icon set for Unix-like systems.
- Devbox: A completely free cloud-based integrated development environment, as defined by free software, highly recommended for institutions, software development companies, and developers. The project is still in the beta version stage.
