Top new GNU/Linux Distros to be recognized in 2024 – Part 8
More than 2 months ago we launched our last publication (seventh) of the series “Top new GNU/Linux Distros”, where we presented some of the most innovative and interesting alternatives for free and open operating systems based on Linux. Therefore, today we will address 3 new calls: Minki's Crappy Linux, Ubix Linux and NethSecurity. In order to complete the known ones during the month of March of this year 2024, within the waiting list of the well-known DistroWatch website. Which await their fair recognition within said website, to then be disseminated as modern, complete and stable projects.
And so, with this «Top of new GNU/Linux Distros to be recognized in 2024 – Part 8 », we hope to continue promoting knowledge (dissemination and promotion) of the multiple free and open projects of GNU / Linux distributions. Which continue to be created and developed constantly throughout the Linuxverse.
