Point Linux 3.0, dubbed “Agni,” combines a solid operating system with a traditional no-frills approach to performance and reliability. In several ways, Point Linux belies the criticisms of Linux desktop newcomers who find that Linux not simple and straightforward to use. Point Linux is easy to install. It has a clear interface. Everything works out of the box. Two reasons for this glowing assessment are Point’s roots in Debian GNU/Linux and its integration of either the GNOME 2 fork desktop MATE or a slightly tweaked version of Xfce.
Very good distribution. I allways use Point or Debian and OpenBSD OS.
Wow i am going to have to try this distro out, currently i have a toshiba laptop couple years old now and running LXLE on it I have tried Mint and really liked it but slowed everything down and tried Bohdi and got frustrated not fully knowing how to use it and reading on Point Linux looks very simple to use this was a very useful article things i learn everyday.
I appreciate the insight on Point Linux, it is good to know about it, but so far I am vary happy with Linux Mint, It has program files that I can click on to install, just like Ubuntu, when installed all initial updates are installed soon after installation, My icon tray is at the bottom, to the right is my name, removable drives, on line connection, battery charge rate, alarm if you choose to install, Artha Dictionary, if you loaded it, system updates, day of week date time, & seconds if you like. Left side is menu, desktop, internet & the terminal that I never used & another a file just like, my computer, on Windows. I have music files, I watch You Tube movies I save my pictures, I am happy with Office Libre I play solitare a lot. I wanted a good personal planner, so I downloaded a calendar creator, created 40 one year calendars, I have half screen for the calendar on the left, I can fill in reminders & on the right side, I can take notes. When I am finished I save it & go on with my other business. Mint is easy to manage, trouble free. I do not think that you can improve on this good product. I also have Debien, it is good, but a little technical for us newbies. Ubuntu is great, but for some reason I like Linux Mint Better, even if I am running it on a 1.6 mega hurtz Xp computer 32 bit. I don't have a schedule task to erase, no viruses, no virus programs slowing me down. When I feel like checking for updates, I click on the shield of the Icon tray, mouse over, it tells me updates, if any, I let them load & install & go back to my business. I may be retired, but I still appreciate a good functional computer, & Mint works just fine.
Great Mint works for you, Nobody is forcing you to change. Yet this article is about Point, not Mint, You can do everything you mentioned with Point Linux too. Point is Debian based so gives you the rock solid stability of Debian. The appeal of Point is you don't have to be an expert to use it, yet if you are it is Debian, so highly customizable.
I have been using Point Linux since the demise of SoluOS. I have to say it is the best OS I have ever used. Beats any Windows OS hands down. I worried a bit at first as it was developed in Russia, but after a few days of using Point that worry went away.
If you look at the forum you will see relatively few people actually having problems. I like how lightweight and fast it is, plus I love the traditional Mate desktop. I highly recommend it to anyone switching from Windows to Linux. I would love to see the user base grow and Peter get more developers involved. This is Debian without having to have the in-depth Linux knowledge. Great for beginners and like all Linux, customizable for seasoned Linux veterans.
