Get Linux : Considering it's time to try a new operating system, this application helps you browse through popular Linux versions and download them in the blink of an eye
Operating systems are responsible for translating computer code language into a set of interactive commands. Windows is one of the most commonly used, but if you're looking to try something new, or you're simply fed up with Windows, Get Linux is an application that might be able to help you make the right choice.
Well-organized interface
The application's design is kept pretty simple, intuitive and clean. Even though it might seem compact, it's equipped with a decent space to browse for the desired Linux version, a preview section with a desktop screenshot, as well as details regarding size, origin and a short description.
Quick download of latest versions
All operating versions you can browse through are constantly updated so you don't end up with obsolete or incompatible tools. This can also be viewed by hitting the “News” button, which brings up a new window with updated versions and corresponding date.Where the case applies, you can opt for a 64 bit version. Hitting the “Download” button puts the process in motion, with all that's left to do being to wait. Progress is displayed in a new window, and with a fast Internet connection, the product is quickly downloaded.
Lacks search and sorting options
What's more, a few configuration options let you pick a tune for when the application launches and finishes the task at hand. A default directory can also be set, along with action to take upon completion, which can be to open the file or folder, burn ISO, as well as do nothing.It's all up to you how to deploy the product, all of them being downloaded under the ISO format. Unfortunately, the application lacks a search engine for quick identification, as well as the possibility to sort out versions according to your needs. This would have come in handy, knowing that some versions of Linux are dedicated to video editing, for example.
In conclusion
All in all, Get Linux can save some time when deciding on the right version of Linux to use. Details are displayed, along with a link to the homepage to check out the product. What's more, download speed is as fast as your connection is, and the output result comes clean and under a commonly used format.
