Jonni Bidwell is once again seduced by the dark side of the Linux Distribution community, or at least the Debian Sid side.

Siduction 2021.1.0
IN BRIEF

This is an intermediate level distribution based on Debian Unstable, but incorporating desktops, drivers and a diverse application selection to make users’ lives easier. See also SparkyLinux, Bunsenlabs and KaOS.

The Siduction project has been dormant for three years, so we were pleased to see this “C-blues” release pop up on Distrowatch. The lead developer, it seems, has gone AWOL, but the other four members of the team have taken up the mantle. And what they’ve created might just pique your interest.

Siduction is available in seven flavours; we went for the flagship KDE edition. But if you prefer you might choose Cinnamon, Xfce, LXQt or LXDE. And if you like things light there are minimal GUI and GUI-free barebones editions. You can also install Gnome or MATE, but there’s no ready-to-roll install medium for those.
