MakuluLinux Flash 2020, a Traditional / Retro style Linux that focuses on Ease of Use, Comfort, Stability and Pure Raw Speed !
Built on the new 2020 MakuluLinux Base and our Second release this year, MakuluLinux Flash 2020 will not disappoint. It is Lightning Fast, Sports a Dual Menu setup, yet keeps a Very Traditional/Retro Style Desktop Layout. At First glance it looks very Modernized, offering plenty Transparency, Beautiful Wallpaper and some great menu options. It also sports a very nice variety of icon sets and theme selection that you just simply won't find anywhere. Finding a good variety of themes since GTK3.20 release is near impossible, most prior themes are now broken and left users with only a handful of good theme choices, most of which look the same. You want a nice Pink or Purple theme ? There aren't any, want a nice Brown or Yellow theme, sorry, they are all broken now... This led us to make the choice of designing our own themes, MakuluLinux Flash offers 24 different variety of all different colored themes for users to play with and icon sets to match, this really will satisfy any user that loves theming his desktop, you literally have so many great options at your finger tips.
While I feel the need to mention Themes and Icons because its one of the First things users will see and it does offer something that isn't easily found anywhere else, the real Stand Out Feature of Flash is its PURE RAW SPEED. It is simply so fast that many will instantly fall in Love with this Snappy beauty. The new 2020 Series Base was designed specially to enhance the Makulu distro's namely LinDoz, Flash and Core. Unlike its predecessor, We built this new Base to get Core updates from Ubuntu Bionic repository, This gives Flash a life cycle till 2023 that can be extended to 2028.
Makulu not only supplies core patches where needed, but we also host some key software in our repositories that adds to the end users experience. Flash now also supports Windows applications ( Wine ) right out of the box, You can now simply just double click an exe or msi file as you would in windows and run it. 32bit Library support has also been added to optimize Steam and gaming experience, You can now start gaming straight out of the box without having to go through huge manuals of instructions to set it up. Steam Proton is also fully supported, As is Flatpak and SnapD.
Flash also comes pre-loaded with most daily used software, We have spent a lot of time researching which software packages are used on a daily basis by Linux users, Then trimmed down that list to what is needed to comfortably operate the OS without it becoming bloatware, the end result is a nicely rounded OS with a good selection of software out of the box.
We have also catered to the Disadvantaged people that rely on screen readers or need to magnify their desktops. Flash now comes with a Screen Reader, Magnifier and an Onscreen Keyboard pre-configured and ready to use out of the box.
While Flash may appeal to the more Traditional Linux users, it also offers full built in Compiz Support to enable cool animations and 3D effects. With a click of a button you can transform your Desktop environment to a fully working wobbly wonky DE, with full cube effects, transition effects and a ton of other great effects that you can turn on and off at your own discretion. This really puts flash into a nice position of not only appealing to the old style traditional users, but also to people that like a more modern environment with flashy things.
To sum up Flash, It is a Traditional/Retro Distro with some cool features, Beautiful Wallpapers and Themes and it is Lightning fast. Users will appreciate the fact that we paid attention to finer details, We spent a lot of time polishing this Build, it has also been extensively been tested and we don't expect many issues if any at all.
