It strives to be beginner-friendly and reasonably light on resources so that it can be used on older computers. It also includes many modern features, such as large number of pre-configured programs for everyday use, dockbar for launching applications, easy installation of non-free software and media codecs, and quick setup through automated scripts.

The latest update to our distribution adds accessibility for visually impaired people:

It is as easy to use as any of the *buntus. It is much more configurable. Its default install is not a monoblock from which no package can be uninstalled.

The user community support is as good, if not better than the *buntus and it has its own monthly magazine. PCLOS does not have information-sharing agreements with any other large company (ex. Amazon).

And that’s just for starters!
