Bluestar Linux introduction

Did you hear of the BlueStar Linux operating system? If not, please read this short article about this genuinely good and stable Linux. In a Bluestar Linux introduction, you will learn who the system is intended for, and how it looks.

Bluestar Linux introduction

Bluestar Linux is designed for serious people, who want and need a solid alternative operating system for laptops and desktops. Why solid? because it is based on Arch Linux (more information about ArchLinux on the original website), which is very secure and stable.

Intentionally, you will obtain a large number of useful applications. Bluestar provides good functionality and ease of use. And there are three editions available, depending on the user:

  • desktop,
  • deskpro,
  • and developer.

Each version offers all actualizations needed for perfect, safe, and effective everyday work:

  • Up-to-date Kernel (the root of Linux systems).
  • Useful up-to-date applications, and software repository for users.
  • Full Development / Desktop / Multimedia Environment.

How does Bluestar Linux look?

It uses the KDE desktop, and let’s see how it looks. You will find a basic presentation, which contains:

  • What the operating system looks like.
  • What features it has (for example: software center, basic system settings).
  • What selected programs look like (for example: LibreOffice Writer and Calc).
  • What Google Workspace looks like (for example Google Meet).
  • What Microsoft 365 looks like (for example Microsoft Teams).

There are some screenshots of Bluestar Linux distribution below:

How to try this distribution?

Bluestar can be set up as a permanent operating system on a laptop or desktop computer. It is strong and can be fully customized. You can also effectively run a live installer from a bootable DVD or USB (I have used the live version for the screenshots).

System requirements for Bluestar Linux

  • Minimum of 6.5GB free hard space
  • Minimum of 1GB of working RAM

The RAM requirements seem a bit high, but this is really a KDE recommendation. If you glance at the KDE system requirements, you see the Bluestar minimum makes sense.

  • Processor: Minimum 1 GHz (x86) Recommended Better than 1 GHz (x86)
  • Memory: Minimum 512 MB Recommended 1 GB
  • Hard drive capacity Minimum 4 GB Recommended 10 GB
