Asmi Linux finally makes the Xfce desktop accessible to all, even newbies


Usually, I don't recommend the Xfce desktop to all user types, but Asmi Linux has me rethinking that stance.

This isn't as intuitive as the developers might think, because most users are accustomed to right-clicking on the desktop and selecting something like Change Background. From my perspective, the ideal Asmi Linux user is someone who's looking to migrate away from Windows and doesn't mind a minimal learning curve. If that's you, download Asmi Linux 13 (which is based on Debian 13), burn it to a flash drive, and install it on that Windows 10 machine that's about to lose support.
