BigLinux: An excellent GNU/Linux Distribution created in Brazil – Desde Linux

BigLinux: A modern and versatile Brazilian GNU/Linux Distro

The Linuxverse is not only broad, but it is in full expansion. Therefore, it is not strange that we find GNU/Linux Distributions, emblematic on a global level. And also at a regional level (continents) and even nationally (countries), in many cases. A good example of global GNU/Linux Distros are, without a doubt, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, Fedora, Manjaro, MX, antiX, Gentoo, Slackware, openSUSe. While some prominent ones in large countries tend to be Deepin in China, Rosa Linux in Russia, Pardus in Turkey and Garuda in India, among others.

And of course, although they may not be well known in other parts of the world, there are GNU/Linux Distros that are notable in Latin America as well. Being 3 well-known and current cases, Canaima in Venezuela, Huayra in Argentina, and Nova in Cuba, both with support from technological institutions of each government. However, in Brazil, which is one of the largest countries in South America, there is still no (that I know of) a GNU/Linux Distribution project with government support. But, without a doubt, very good projects such as Poseidon Linux and Gobo Linux, respectively. Meanwhile, today we will comment on one more independent initiative that has a lot to contribute and is called BigLinux.
