I found the new Asmi Linux fast and fun to use - if you're not afraid of a little setup work
"There's a new Asmi Linux release available, and you can download one of two options based on either Ubuntu 25.10 or Debian 13. This new version adds the ability to save and load custom desktop layouts, a redesigned interface with Client-Side Decoration (CSD) for the title bar and a new toolbar layout, as well as all of the updated software that comes together to create either the Ubuntu or Debian base."
"Although Xfce has never been my favorite desktop environment, I highly respect it for what it is: a lightweight DE that also happens to be one of the most flexible on the market. If you compare nearly all Linux distributions that ship with Xfce, you'd be hard-pressed to find two that look and act the same. That's the beauty of Xfce. That same heightened flexibility is also why I don't generally recommend Xfce for those new to Linux."
"The small team behind Asmi Linux is also dedicated to creating other Linux applications, such as the Appy Software Store, which is a bit ironic, given that application isn't found in the free version of Asmi. That's right, there's a free and paid version of this Linux distribution. For $9.99, you can download the Ultimate Edition of Asmi Linux, which adds software such as LibreOffice, VLC, OBS, GIMP, Inkscape, Flameshot, Shutter, Xour"
Asmi Linux offers two download options built on Ubuntu 25.10 or Debian 13. The release introduces saving and loading of custom desktop layouts, a redesigned interface with Client-Side Decoration for title bars, and a new toolbar arrangement. Updated base software aligns with the chosen Ubuntu or Debian foundation. The distribution uses the Xfce desktop environment, which provides high flexibility and visual variation across distributions but can expose inexperienced users to configuration risks. A free edition is available alongside a $9.99 Ultimate Edition that bundles productivity and multimedia applications such as LibreOffice, VLC, OBS, GIMP, Inkscape, Flameshot, and Shutter.
