Big Linux – Running With The Big Boys | A Distro Worth Trying | Arch Made Easy

I've been using this for about a year now. I haven't had any issues and find it a pleasure to use. I've looked at a lot of other distros and nothing else measures up for me.

Can you copy their .deb .rpm features on arch?

Very good
Big Linux!

Not using it right now because my 2010 laptop is way too old for that. Maybe if there were a BigLinux XFCE spin it would be perfect for me. For now I'll keep it running Mint

I guess that I am still scared of manjaro... it looks good tho

Congratulations on your channel! As a 56-year-old Linux fan, I've learned a lot thanks to you. Can I ask you the following: Yesterday, I received an Acer Swift laptop with an i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 258GB SSD that is already running very slowly with Windows. What distro(s) would you recommend for that laptop in November 2023? Thanks in advance for your help

Can u game on this system like gog and steam ?

The guys at (BigLinix) have been studying all the Linux distros, and BigLinux, this distro comes to make a difference in the free world, for beginners and advanced users, these guys will offer system users, to enjoy the same operating system, with new features and innovation and design and technology, the ease that has been offering with total difference and experience that users can have in any system. Like any system, it also has problems like any system has, but thinking about the best for all of us, thank you and come help with any suggestions, always free for constructive ideas.

I've ran 100's of distro's on my alienware 14r the wife's college give away, 2 of my HP snails and none of them could run the speeds that the Big L gives them So I will be installing Big Linux on my gaming rig as a duel boot and give it it's own M.2 , The Big is the best hands down.

Top recomento a distro

Does it use manjaro repositories? Does manjaro even have its own, I don't know anything about manjaro.

whats the best linux with multi desktop option and support for nvidia and amd gpu drivers? also has rolling updates
thanks.

Is there a way to get boot up sounds for when you first log in? I miss those from win7

Nice to have you back and running regularly

The name SUCKS. These guys got to be more creative with the names....it is Essential! and drop the LINUX after the name. Linux Mint for example should be called Mint or MintOS

It looks pretty good and has a lot of inclusions with it. The layout manager looks like what Zorin OS has. It would have been nice if you covered a few of its unique features like file compression, convert and resize of various files from the right click and running android apps.
I'd still be a little weary of running anything Manjaro based again though.

I still enjoy voyager os but I may try this one at some point.

I have like a year using only linux

I may consider this for my laptop. I run Garuda on it now.

Muito bom😁

Thank you Sir for this detailed walkthrough. Big Linux will be also on my test drive list now. I will definitely ditch Windows asap, as they have implemented their surveillance measures since October 2023. Thanks for all your efforts & please keep going!! 😎✌️

serious hiss on your mic
Garuda failed to notice that my vulkan driver was not working. Uninstalling vulkand didn't work. Its not a system for below 6th Gen i5s

Makes me wanna try it but I swear I have bad luck with arch based distros. 😅

I haven't tried Big Linux in a while. I might have to test drive it again. Great video!

looks like windows 11 x peppermint

Thank You Troy

Time to give it another look. I liked it then however, knew little about it as far as stability and what not. Thanks for your take. Much appreciated!

What I saw makes me say "nope"

Thanks sir, going to give this a shot !

this ain't a bad looking distro, but i am also stuck with garuda. i really love garuda assistant bc i'm not very good at using the CLI and all the commands, and with the assistant i can reinstall all the apps and reset the os back to default.

For those who are common users, who are not used to the terminal or come from Windows, it is a great option, as it is a complete distro and whatever you need to install you will find in your Bigstore. In my family we are 12 BigLinux users, most of them without any terminal knowledge.

It does look more like an Arch distro that could be more amenable to newer users.

If I download and install, will it be able to overwrite or remove my troublesome Mint?

I have been darling driving Big Linux ever since watching your first video on it. I was a destro hopper but once I installed BL, I stopped. It's only getting better and better. And yet still not on destrowatch. What a shame.

A piity they dont have a gnome desktop

BigLinux has been my daily driver for about one year and 7 months, and I helped the devs in some things, for example, some wallpapers I generated with IA and I made some (a lot) of icons for the new icons packge for BigLinux.

Looks nice. Seems like they are going for a more polished up Manjaro here. Might be the Linux Mint of the Arch derivatives in the works here. We'll see if this distro is still around in a year or not.

Big Linux is an awesome, stable, easy to used Arch based distribution .....im a big fan of it and Linux Mint

Big has been my daily driver for about a year now and haven't had any of the issues I had with Manjaro so it's definitely far more stable and it's been solid on the 4 machines I have it installed on (both AMD and Intel with Radeon and Nvidia cards)

Have it on my laptop since your 1st video on it.

Yesss, another good solid vid from Troy, Ebuzz is back baby with more vids!!! Ya, daily drive BIg Linux!!

nice!
