Linux is one of the most dynamic and scalable operating systems because being open source lends itself to developing many other operating systems and also so that thousands of applications can be used and implemented optimally..
Some of the distributions of Linux are focused on an aspect of each user and therefore we find distributions for developers, for scientists, for players, etc., where each of them has the necessary services for this purpose. This is why on this occasion TechnoWikis will talk about AryaLinux which is a distribution specifically for Linux-based desktop From Scratch.
What is AryaLinux
This AryaLinux system is composed of development scripts which can be used to build a complete and comprehensive GNU / Linux system by taking its available source code for free. These compilation scripts have been designed based on the instructions provided in the LFS and BLFS libraries.
AryaLinux is available in two environments that are Mate and XFCE and is fully compatible with the i686 (Intel 32 bit) and x86_64 (Intel 64 bit) platform which helps it be distributed more globally and is available to more users because most current distributions are only available in 64-bit versions..
In addition to the basic Mate desktop environment, AryaLinux includes applications for Office productivity, simple graphics packages, network utilities and browsers, as well as system tools which make it a great work solution, but we are in the ability to install many more utilities using ALPS (AryaLinux Packaging System) in AryaLinux.
AryaLinux 1.0 is currently released, which is the first compilation version from Gnome Spin and is also the first version to be merged with the new version control system
This edition of AryaLinux offers us features like
- Gnome 3.28 desktop environment is included
- It has a new set of installer scripts of alps packages rewritten from scratch for better functionality
- Application packages and libraries such as gcc, glibc, vlc, libreoffice, Gnome desktop, Firefox, Transmission, Rhythmbox and Chromium have been updated
- Support for flatpak applications
- The dracut command has replaced initrd
- New options in the compilation script
- ALPS is based on Python 3.x
- The default browser in this version is Chromium
- Compatibility with Beta editions
- New set of wallpapers and themes specifically created for the Gnome desktop environment
This version of AryaLinux has been launched on July 2, 2018 and its free download is available at the following link.

Step 2
Once this is defined, we can start the installation process which will give us the following initial window. There we have two options to use:
AryaLinux GNOME 1.0
With this option we directly access the AyraLinux test environment
AryaLinux GNOME 1.0 Debug Mode
By selecting this option we execute the problem correction mode to rule out any failure with the system.
Step 3
By selecting the first option we will be redirected to the following. There we click on the Log In button to access the AyraLinux test environment.
Here we can know their applications, specifications and others before proceeding with any local installation. If we choose to test the system, everything we do will be deleted once the session is closed..
