Netrunner is a free operating system for desktop computers, laptops or netbooks and arm-based device-types like the Odroid C1 microcomputer[3] or the Pinebook. It is available in two versions: Netrunner, which is based on Debian Testing and Netrunner Rolling, which is based on Manjaro/Arch[4]. Both versions feature KDE Plasma plus additional applications, multimedia codecs and some firefox browser plugins.

The former Kubuntu based version of Netrunner has been superseded by Maui Linux,[5] which is now based on KDE Neon.[6][7][8]

Overview

Blue Systems, the company that sponsored Kubuntu,[9] offers Netrunner as a desktop system for everyday use based on Plasma Desktop by KDE. It targets new users as well as users experienced with Linux. Plasma Desktop allows for easy customization of the desktop to ones personal liking. Netrunner is further meant for users that want an operating system that works "out-of-the-box", reducing the time to add codecs and essential enhancements manually after installation.

Netrunner Desktop is only available as 64-bit version, while Netrunner Core is available as 64-bit and also Pinebook and Odroid C1 ARM images.[10]

Default software

Among the default software selection of Netrunner Desktop are many applications such as:

Reception

Dedoimedo reviewed Netrunner 4.2 "Dryland" with following words:[31]

From the purely technical perspective, you get crashes in the live session, crashes during the installation, a package manager with unsigned repositories that ends up crippling some of the apps, programs branded with personal choices unsuitable for mass use, slow network performance, missing help files, incomplete Touchpad functionality, no desktop effects, missing icons, WebAccounts is broken, and there's still more to point out and complain about.

Jesse Smith from DistroWatch Weekly wrote review of Netrunner 4.2:[32]

While trying Netrunner it crossed my mind that this distribution is, in a way, the opposite of the Peppermint project. Both projects have a focus on cloud services, but where Peppermint is small, fast and minimal, Netrunner comes fully loaded with a big desktop, lots of local software and extras. I would guess the Netrunner developers want people to be able to experience the best of both worlds, local and cloud. At any rate, Netrunner is an interesting distro, it is trying something different and, while it didn't quite fit my style, I think what they are doing they are doing well.

LinuxInsider wrote a post.[33] It's review of Netrunner 13:

One of the best features is Netrunner's clever integration with Web applications. I was impressed with the fluidity and ease of access to those apps.

Hectic Geek also reviewed Netrunner 14.[34]
