Pisi GNU/Linux is a user-friendly GNU/Linux distribution based on the latest version of Pardus, which is based on the Pisi infrastructure and developed by the free software community. It aims to provide ease of installation, configuration, and usage for computer users, catering to their basic desktop needs.
FEATURES
It is a user-focused GNU/Linux distribution. It aims to provide users with as much freedom as possible to experience Linux through graphical interfaces. It aims to enhance inherited designs, promote the development of new designs, and contribute to the world of free software. It does not intend to release a server or enterprise version. Currently, it only supports the x86-64 architecture. It follows a versioning scheme with major releases numbered as 1, 2, 3, and minor releases as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. It provides up-to-date and stable applications.
INHERITED DESIGNS
Under the Pardus design framework led by TÜBİTAK, many designs that were discontinued when Pardus transitioned to Debian base in 2013 are being continued and developed within the scope of Pisi Linux.
ÇOMAR
ÇOMAR (Configuration MAnageR) is software that facilitates the automatic configuration of hardware, boot, network, user, time, display, and other settings necessary for the system to function properly. It allows users to change these settings in a simple and understandable manner under an authorization control.
PİSİ
Pisi (Packages Installed Successfully as Intended) is a package management system written in Python. It performs functions such as creating, installing, removing, upgrading packages based on dependencies. It creates binary packages from source packages defined in XML and provided with a Python script, and can install and remove them based on their dependencies. It includes a user-friendly graphical interface and a comprehensive command-line interface.
PACKAGE MANAGER
The Package Manager is an application used to easily install Pisi packages via a graphical interface. With the Package Manager, packages can be easily installed, updated, or removed with a single click. The Package Manager can also provide detailed information about each package, such as description, size, and version.
YALI
YALI (Yet Another Linux Installer) is the installation software used by Pisi Linux. It swiftly and smoothly installs operating systems from the installation environment to the target destination for users. Currently, Calamares is used in Pisi Linux instead of YALI.
KAPTAN
Kaptan is a configuration wizard that welcomes users to the desktop after installing Pisi Linux and can be used to personalize the desktop thereafter. Kaptan provides general information about Pisi Linux, offers configuration options such as network connections to make desktop usage more comfortable, and assists users in customizing their desktops.
MÜDÜR
MÜDÜR is the boot process manager of Pisi Linux. It aims to expedite the system boot process, making the distribution more flexible and easier to maintain. MÜDÜR handles tasks from the moment the operating system kernel starts running until the user is presented with the login screen. These tasks include mounting file systems, detecting hardware and loading drivers, configuring basic network settings, and starting system services. Additionally, during shutdown, MÜDÜR is responsible for stopping services and safely unmounting file systems.
