Redcore Linux explores the idea of bringing the power of Gentoo Linux to the masses. It aims to be a very quick way to install a pure Gentoo Linux system without spending hours or days compiling from source code, and reading documentation. To achieve this goal, Redcore provides a repository with pre-built binary packages which receives continuous updates, following a rolling release model.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Looks a good distribution. I didn´t see any problem at this point. I feel using calculate linux but modificated for home users. One down side is a lack of applications due the size of repositories. But it´s ok, its new yet. I´m using now the KDE Plasma. I don´t like LXQt due the minimalistic thing. Well, let´s see if it will keep stable. Give a try!

This is my third and final time trying this distro. It was a great idea, but it just simply doesn't work as intended. It gets 1 point for effort (and the fact that I can't rate it a zero). I used Redcore daily for months on 17.xx, then when 17.10 or whatever version it was after the first 17.xx version the problems began. 18.03 even more problems, and now 18.12. Calamares works fine on other distros, but not Redcore. The second I establish a network connection, all the apps stop responding, the mouse works, all the other ttys work, it just loses the ability to run any and all apps within the live environment. There is a small number of people working on this project. I wish some of these smaller entities with great ideas (like Redcore) would team up with some other smaller projects with similar goals, meet in the middle for what to use as their base, and get some work done. It had so much potential, and now with the last three attempts being a horrible experience, it could get totally 100 percent fixed in the future, and I would never know how great it is because I'm never trying Redcore again.

Redcore linux is the definition of . Inconsistent, buggy and ultra-slow. It's a shame 'cause I had big expectations for this project, for it seemed to collect many interesting features
