OpenArtist bundles programs for creative types
Conclusion
OpenArtist feels like an intelligently constructed online game with a lot to discover and try. Even though not everything works right from the start, you can get most things running with a little bit of problem-solving and handiwork. However, openArtist counts for much more than just creative play. For example, it can be used to repair damaged systems, and it's a good replacement for the stock LTS distribution. By using the repositories, which are for the most part well maintained, you will find the most up-to-date kernels and programs. Because of the large selection of programs, this distribution is perhaps more suited to advanced users.
