I'm a bit concerned about the fact that all one can do to verify the download
of Uruk is checking MD5/SHA256 sums.
Apparently, no GPG-signature or public key is offered.
Maybe Uruk developers can offer this in the future.
Nevertheless, I think I'm gonna give it a try - at least start a live
I stand corrected. Thanks for the detailed response :)
I have both a SATA 3 HDD and a M.2 SSD in my laptop. Benchmarking them with
'hdparm -t' respectively gives 0.142 GB/s and 0.430 GB/s of transfer rates.
Benchmarking my DDR4 RAM with memtest86+ gives 21.053.
So the RAM is about 150 faster than my HDD but still about 50 times faster
than

Pardon, but using swaps makes my machine feeling less heats for using less
RAM than not using swaps. I’ve also tried to hiebrnate my system and backed
to my EFI manager, systems under swaps are able to recover session unless
reboot is run manually, system w/o swaps enter a selected system
Just clarifying and finalizing, systems run on hard drives dnt matter with
how much swaps or without, but systems run on RAM will be happy to be under
more swaps, right?
Anyway I have at least 3.72GiB of hardware memories, i.e. RAMs, and not every
my systems are equipped with swap but just work well w/o a need of swaps.
Can I upgrade from an Uruk 2.0 beta to the final release, or do I need to
reinstall from scratch?
I'd like a copy of install-guix.sh. I hate following the Guix manual
every time I install Trisquel.
install-guix.sh (or whatever it was called) did not work.
Okey, cool. Thanks for the reply

I tried the live image of Uruk 2.0. It is much better comparing to earlier

and the English Language support is superb.
What? No. Just because Ali lives in Iraq doesn't mean his OS is malicious or
anything like that.
I would not worry about the fact that the authors of Uruk from Iraq. This
being a fully-free system, I suppose you could audit the sources for
insecurities or mallice.

OK, so I'm confused. I just downloaded a fresh copy of beta2 from
SourceForge, checked the SHA256, and made a USB installer (see:

I installed it and got what appeared to be a Mate desktop. This was wierd,
My laptop is also mid-low-ended, i3-2367 amd64 and 3.72GiB RAM, and I am a
keen LXQt, Deepin, Liri user, to save more RAM you also need 16GiB swap
partitions at least.
Would it be good to you if you help Uruk to port an OpenRC edition for them?
I rarely, very rarely use 1 full gb of RAM. I am not joking. One thing is
also true: I don't go crazy about multitasking..

True, and I'm looking at buying a RAM upgrade, or just using this netbook as

Are you still using Trisquel's packages, or you have taken your way
independently already?
Canon Lide 120 was working good using Simple Scan software after install
libsane-backends in Uruk 64 bit (beta1). But In 32 bit Uruk (beta2) it is not
working correctly. It is working with gimp or xsane. But not working with

How can solve the problem. I shutdown closing all program. I don't understand
of this problem. please help!
With Uruk2.0_i686
I have downloaded uruk 2.0 (Beta 2)- 32 bit, hope that it will use less ram
memory than Uruk 2.0_64 (beta 1). I am frustrated. Because they uses same
usage of memory.
I knew that 32 bit OS uses less ram space than 64 bit.

Hello,
I have been using Linux for a number of years now, but only just started my

It is good to see a new distribution that is about freedom, they are few and

Best of luck.
that's right :)

Hi alimiracle !
Thanks for all your hard work.
I would like to know which kernel and xorg version uruk-beta2 has ?
Is it 4.4 and 1.18 ?
Thanks again !
It was at times a long, difficult road. But we glad it was long and
difficult, because if we hadn’t gone through hell to get there, the lesson
might not have been as clear.
Hello
my name is ali and i'm going to tell you a new chapter from uruk gnu / linux
story:
It has been said throughout
i3 It is not recommended for new people in GNU/Linux(-libre).
Bravo to the Uruk Team, despite the issues you faced you have done a great
job !
Thanks ;-)
Since I tweaked i3 and mastered its usage, I dont want anything else anymore.
It's the same with vim.
At first you might think "wtf, who would ever want to use that?" but then you
realize that there is nothing better out there.
I am with uruk 2.0. I happy with it. But it tooks more ram space than uruk
1.0. my ram = 2 gb. I always prefer 64 bit. Any benefit of 32 bit Os than 64
bit?

Right now I have a netbook asus 900ha which is 32 bits, I installed Devuan,

based distros without systemd need a lot of work. Maybe Void
Yes.
Uruk is downstream from Trisquel Flidas which is downstream from Ubuntu
Xenial Xeres which is downstream from Debian Jessie so it uses systemd.
If you are looking for systemd-free alternatives, you might consider
devuan, freeslack (no 32 bit support, but 64 bit looks good), and/or
I like LXDE or XFCE4. Does Uruk come with systemd?
I can try to make a private torrent for you if it gets too frustrating, but I

Lots of bandwidth and best wishes, though.
I am trying to download. But after 90% that crashing. Net speed slow in

That was what impressed me about the alpha. I don't know what I was
expecting, but I wound up giving my DVD to the daughter who had never
used Gnu/Linux instead of the daughter who was getting "nice fresh .isos
just like mama used to burn!" in her care package.
The final LTS release is seriously
If I ever have to use Windows I'll know who I can confess my sins to.
Have to give congratulations: as an "end user" and novice GNU/linux user, I
ran Uruk from bootdisk and was very impressed. Very clean, user friendly.
It actually ran better faster than Trsiquel on this old HP laptop I'm using.
Great job guys.

I'm running the beta on my little netbook; it looks nearly finished. Not
sure whether I can install onto my Thinkpad that has uefi; Trisquel won't
boot on the thing. Interested in learning more about this guix package
system the include in addition to the apt defaults.
I waiting for final release.
Congratulations, hayder and alimiracle!
Ignucius the Saint blesses your computers, long may they run!
Downloading the beta, now, and will have more to say avter I've had a look at
it. Glad you've decided to return to Mate de; accessibility in Cinnamon is
not ready.
I personally struggle with the same issue. Doesn't matter how much I run,
eventually I end up going back to mate. It works flawlessly. Other DE's makes
me more productive, but mate is just too good. Maybe one day it will be more
customizable, so one can work without the two bars easily...
I'd have said flux or openbox instead of i3wm, but that's just because I'm
old. :)
Uruk is truly amazing and it's good to see you posting here. Mate is just
fine. I enjoyed checking out the alpha on DVD and USB stick and look forward
to seeing how far the beta has come as soon as I can.
The best DE is no DE, I suggest you move to i3wm :) loool nah just kidding
guys, congratulations for your excellent work. Uruk is awesome.
In any war or big problems, there are calms between storms. There will be
days when we lose faith. Days when our apps, DE, and codes turn against us.
But the day will never come that we forsake this project and his community.

But It is not 64 bit.
Yea, but my point was that even if you didn't know anything about Ali and

good 100% libre distro.

the DVD to make sure it worked, I
Everybody is so touchy these days (including my illustrious self), lol.
By apolitical, I meant that Uruk would not be dismissed as a curiosity or be
offensive to any brand new free software user, regardless of their
nationality or political beliefs.
As far as libre politics, it is
I looked at the website but I didn't find much info. I'm sort of getting the
vibe that Uruk is a light weight (less resources) version of Trisquel, with
a Mate desktop environment and a couple of tools that simplify adding
applications, etc for the new user.
Is that about right?
Also,
It has Guix installed by default, for one thing, and all sorts of handy dandy
tools for newbies who have never used Gnu/Linux before but are intelligent
enough to learn with a bit of hand holding and learn more on their own once
they get a peek at what all they fuss was about and why their
What is the benefit of using this disto? How does it differ from Trisquel?
