Netrunner is a complete GNU/Linux based OS.
It uses the Plasma desktop environment and ships with many applications for everyday use.
There are two versions of Netrunner:
The Standard Release is based on Debian package management (Kubuntu).
The Rolling Release is based on Arch package management (Manjaro).
This overview shows you the shared philosophy and common software components used by both variants.
Netrunner is focused on making the desktop as snappy and responsive as possible by
sponsoring developers of the Plasma development. We also concentrate on new technologies
and include them in Netrunner early on, for example:– Kicker Startmenu (Drag’n’Drop-Sidebar, Windows/Meta-Key-Popup, Search enabled)
– Task-Manager with Expanding Icons
– Netrunner Desktop Workspace (classic icons-on-a-clean-desktop, no overlays)
– Hot-Spot “Show Desktop” in lower right corner
– Auto-started KWallet
– Simplified System Settings
– Optimized KWin, so Open-GL-FX work on most low-end machines
– Pulseaudio
– Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird with Plasma Integration
– Unified Look for KDE and non-KDE-applications via GTK-Configuration
Netrunner Desktop is the default desktop surface.
It comes with a bottom-panel and side-panel, which gives you access to multimedia and sound controls.
The side-panel can be shown/hidden by pressing the F11-key, or using the left/right-mouse-swipe.
Netrunner ships several Window- and Desktop-Themes to choose from, so you can start customizing right away.
For most of our Window Themes, we are using the Aurorae-3 Engine for KWin, which allows blur and transparency on even low-end machines.
Kicker is the new startmenu, which on first look resembles the classic menu, but is fully themeable and has some features added to it, like a Drag’n’Drop Sidebar.
It can easily be invoked by the Meta-/Super-/Windowskey.
Firefox-KDE
With some shortcuts added, file navigation and handling is as easy as ever.
Netrunner ships Telepathy with XMMP support for VOIP.
