Operating system ros. Installing ROSA Desktop. Installing Rosa Desktop Fresh R4

This note will discuss the operating system distribution Linux ROSA FRESH R10 KDE, You will learn where you can download this version, how to install it on your computer’s hard drive, and we will also talk about the features and innovations of this release.

Review of the Linux distribution ROSA FRESH R10 KDE

ROSA FRESH is a distribution of the Linux operating system, it is free and intended for home use. The development and support of the distribution kit is carried out by the Russian company ROSA (STC IT ROSA LLC).

Official website of the company— www.rosalinux.ru

ROSA FRESH is released for i586 processor architectures ( 32 bit version) and x86_64 ( 64 bit version). The distribution is multilingual with support for the Russian language.

Currently, Linux ROSA FRESH R10 is available with KDE and KDE Plasma graphical shells.

As I already said, the distribution is aimed at home use, so all the necessary software for working on a computer is available out of the box, by default there is: an office suite, a browser, a torrent client and other applications, and it is also possible to easily install such popular applications such as Viber and Skype.

The features of the Linux ROSA distribution include a set of unique, functional and most importantly convenient components, for example:

SimpleWelcome Menu is a single point for launching applications and system components. The menu contains three tabs:

  • Welcome - The tab displays the most frequently used items, such as applications that have been launched recently;
  • Applications – the tab is designed to launch applications that are installed on the system. Some applications are grouped according to their functional purpose, for example, all office applications are grouped into the Office group;
  • TimeFrame is a component that allows you to track the user's work on the timeline, for example, find files that were edited at one time or another.


RocketBar is a panel for quick access and launch of applications and components. A special feature of the panel is the ability to use icons slightly larger than the panel itself, which adds some originality to the interface. RocketBar is logically divided into three zones: Left - for the SimpleWelcome menu, as well as for quickly launching applications, Central - for displaying current tasks, Right - for displaying additional widgets ( watch, basket, etc.).

What's new in ROSA FRESH R10 KDE?

  • Linux kernel 4.9;
  • Web browser Mozilla Firefox 56.0.2;
  • Office suite LibreOffice 5.4.3.1;
  • Proprietary drivers for Nvidia video cards have been updated;
  • Mesa 17.1.6 is now used with OpenGL support, which makes it possible to run games on free drivers. Mesa also adds support for the Vulkan API;
  • Problems with the operation of USB WiFi adapters have been fixed;
  • The cdrkit set of utilities for working with CDs and DVDs has been replaced by cdrtools4;
  • Compatibility with third party packages that use sysvinit rather than systemd has been improved;
  • Issues with loading artist information have been fixed in the Clementine player.

More detailed information can be found on the release wiki page - ROSA Desktop Fresh R10.

System requirements ROSA FRESH R10 KDE

  • Processor with a frequency of 2.0 GHz or higher;
  • Minimum 1 gigabyte of RAM for 32-bit versions and 2 GB for 64-bit versions;
  • A minimum of 10 gigabytes of free disk space, but this is only for installing the system itself, for storing personal files, additional programs, and so on; of course, additional free space will be required ( in the modern world, hard drive size is not a problem).

On equipment with minimal specifications, the ROSA distribution with the KDE environment works quite well and quickly.

Where to download Linux ROSA FRESH R10 KDE?

You can download the current version of ROSA FRESH from the download page of the official website - here it is.

After you have gone to the page, you need to find the section with the desired version of the distribution and click on the appropriate link, for example, in order to download the 64-bit version of ROSA FRESH R10 KDE, the link is as follows.


As a result, your iso image should load ROSA.FRESH.KDE.R10.x86_64.uefi.iso approximately 2 gigabytes in size.

That's all I have for now!

Good day, Soldiers! This is an article about my small experiment regarding working in another operating system like Rosa. Although the step is risky, it is really long overdue, like a callus, which can easily be understood as Windows OS.

To put it in one word, I was practically disappointed in her and I think everyone can guess why this is so. Everyone knows how much trouble Windows OS causes during maintenance. These include various glitches, freezes, and incomprehensible errors such as “The instructions have reached the address...”


And if the system understands that you are in a hurry, then, as if alive, it immediately begins to glitch, freeze and become stupid)))

I don’t understand the policy of this company... Why not focus on polishing and optimizing the program code, developing a friendly control panel, an intuitive interface and other things that will eventually merge into a superOS? After all, the result would be stability, reliability, convenience and speed of work! But instead, the “line of versions” is only lengthening: ... XP, 7, 8. I especially liked “Eight”, having launched which I really couldn’t get into “Documents” for about forty minutes! I remember that my eyes were bloodshot with anger - there was a lot of work, and here I was figuring out “where and what”)

What made this phenomenon a little easier was the fact that I was not the only one who had the same problems. They say that old Bill Gates himself swore terribly when, rubbing his hands in anticipation, he launched the Eight for the first time.))))

As we all know, things don't get better over time. Remember the seven and how well it worked. Literally flew! Now, having gorged itself on various updates like a pig of slop, this version is incredibly consuming resources and has become clumsy like a hippopotamus. Then 8, a year later 8.1. I heard that there will be 10. But the problems remain. I’m not saying that the “Eight” was created exclusively for touch monitors, which didn’t exist at that time! I’m surprised how the company didn’t close at all after such tricks, due to a drop in the level of general trust, and therefore lost profits.

It's more than obvious that the company's regular users are simply sneeze-worthy. And where should we go - after all, Windows is installed on almost all computers and a great many games, programs and applications are “written” for it.

The situation reminds me of large companies in the computer games market, which also do not want to look for any new ideas, approaches, etc., but simply rework an existing game, creating some kind of remake, and convince the end user that “... This game is definitely a game for everyone a game! This is what you all dream about and see in your dreams.”

And as soon as the game goes on sale, it immediately becomes clear that this whole thing is just another piece of crap.

Well, you must agree that it is stupid to create a “product” and not take into account the interests of those who will shell out cash for it. Capitalists must understand this: the pursuit of profit and the like. But since the company has been returning the “Start” button for almost two years, then... it’s a long time for us to wait for the ideal Windows. Well, or at least fast and stable)

Apple has the correct policy in this regard. They created their own OS and now with some kind of perverted pleasure they are polishing its code. I heard that the latest version (or update? What do they have there?) has lost as much as one and a half gigs! This is real work! And hence, the stability of the system as a whole, and it requires reinstallation so rarely that such a thing almost turns into an event of world significance”))).

Of course, Windows has plenty of advantages, for example, simplicity, but currently I work in Rosa most of the time.

ROSA Desktop Fresh. Probably the only truly high-quality domestic multi-variant Operating System, which is united by an elegant design and a carefully selected set of application software. Here's a great demo video.

This is a freely distributed Russian operating system developed by the Rosa company, based on Linux and aimed at users of various levels who can appreciate the speed, stability, ease of use and ease of learning the OS. In addition, it is worth noting a wide range of compatible equipment...

1. The very first and very important thing, that is, “everything is included.” That is, the system is absolutely ready to work and there is no need to look for drivers. Install it and use it.

To be honest, I didn’t even understand it at first. And only a few hours later, I noticed that the Internet was there, music was playing, the ports were working, the peripherals were functioning! That's it, yes! The driver problem is gone!

2. Guest mode. A convenient thing, and primarily for those who are afraid to immediately demolish the familiar system and switch to a new one. That is, we first create an installation flash drive and boot through it. The system is not installed, but functions as if from a flash drive in an evaluation version as many times as desired.

3. Convenience . Everyone understands that working with a program in which the devil breaks his leg is not only inconvenient, but simply “infuriatingly terrible”! Read, for example, reviews of the iTunes program, which every iPhone user is very familiar with. The number of swear words per square centimeter of comment is simply amazing, and there are several hundred of them! And I understand these authors perfectly. A terrible and wildly inconvenient program that you can really figure out! I remember the last comment at that time, something like: “Guys, can you imagine? I bought “Android” and just took and dragged the file from the “Desktop” to the phone!” And everyone was like, “Uh-oh, lucky guy!”

True, after Windows in “Rosa” it’s a little unusual to work with “rooms” and “tables”, but you get used to it quite quickly)

4. Friendly interface. Very convenient and thoughtful, by the way. It is very important. Everything is where it should be and is easy to find without any digging in additional instructions. And by the way, there is also a “Start” button, although it’s a little different, when you click on it you get into some kind of desktop, reminiscent of the menus of “Androids” and “iPhones”.

5. Virus resistant. The risk of infecting your computer with some kind of Internet infection is minimal, which means you can view any website without significant fear. And who would even think of writing “malware” to infect one computer out of ten thousand? Although, please note, I still installed an antivirus - I developed the habit of security)

6. Completely free . A very wise move on the part of the developers. Apple, too, now doesn’t charge anything for its operating system. And rightly so, since freebies help spread the word. Of course, you can do it another way, just impose it, as Windows did. Remember: about seven years ago, any computer was not initially equipped with an OS, and the user could stop any version. Now everything is exactly the opposite, and this is a clever marketing ploy by Microsoft, which, having collected statistics, found out that the percentage of Russian users installing alternative operating systems is growing all the time. Now Russian computers have begun to be “replenished,” but you won’t find a normal working seven during the day. The same installation disks with 7 that users have are valued by the users themselves almost worth their weight in gold, since the Vista modification turned out to be a very successful one. It would be better to optimize it, otherwise it would be five million lines of program code!

7. And finally, “ROSA” is RUSSIAN! Which is good news) I admit, the fact that Russia is lagging behind IT technologies bothers me somewhat. But back in the early 60s of the last century, we created computers based on TRINITY CODE! can you imagine this?

No, to create an appropriate institute similar to Stalin’s “sharashka”, to recruit specialists, isolate them from the outside world and develop an operating system with a package of necessary programs. In China, as far as I know, they are very concerned about such a project and spend hundreds of millions on this matter every year.

Yes, as a matter of fact, there was no need to even develop the program, since I am sure that companies like Adobe and the like would immediately release modifications of their products for the new System. And it’s impossible to do otherwise - the Russian market is large and transfers a lot of money to companies for purchasing software. So, we would strain ourselves and modify it. Wouldn't go anywhere, hehe)))

Okay, now some cons.

“Rosa” is based on some abandoned version of Linux, the rights to polish which were transferred to our company. I foresee that many will immediately “take a stand” and begin to ask: “... If this is so, then what kind of Rosa is it, Russian?” But we won’t listen to such “trolls in sailor suits.” They just want to lick their tongues, but those who want to try “Dew” in action after this article should understand one point well.

It is different and you should not look for a complete analogue of Windows in it. Each system is good in its own way and has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no ideal system yet and one will not be created anytime soon.

Well, if we talk about the shortcomings, then, of course, the system is still somewhat damp, but no more than Windows, which releases modification after modification, but “things are still there.”

So, first: the installer is rather weak. Second: the KDE desktop is quite power-hungry. Next: It seems impossible to install it in parallel with another, as is sometimes done.

Well, the main disadvantage. Recently, the development of Rosa has slowed down significantly, which means that new functions have stopped appearing, and the enterprise itself clearly has a shortage of human resources. True, I heard that they are now working for the defense industry,” since the work there is paid, and this version of the Rosa Desktop system exists exclusively on a charitable basis.

Users are usually interested in two things: “Is it possible to run Photoshop on Rosa?” and “Is it possible to launch the World of Tanks client.” Regarding “World of Tanks”, I’ll say right away: in the demo video posted at the beginning of the article, at the fifteenth second, the label of this client is visible. So, installation is possible, but I don’t know how, since I haven’t played for a long time. Next, regarding the question about Photoshop, since there are a couple of ways to launch it.

First way. By installing Win, and then using the winetricks script, configure Wine to launch Photoshop .

Second way. Use PlayOnLinux, which allows you to run applications under Windows. In theory, so does the aforementioned client.

Google for more details.

Articles a short summary:

The Russian operating system “Rosa Desktop Fresh” is an excellent option both for a basic user and for demonstrating to friends and acquaintances. Of course, there are several other very good developments, for example, based on Elbrus or ReactOS, created almost from scratch by a loner in his apartment, but consider this the first, suitable for you and me, because:

The Rosa operating system is efficient, stable, fast and does not glitch. When I tested it, I installed it on a virtual machine and ran it there. Interesting observation. The laptop itself (I have an HP processor with an intel(R) Core™ i7-3630 2.4 GHz RAM 8 GB) starts to work quieter, although in theory it should scream like a steam locomotive, because the main system is running, plus VirtualBox, and there is another OS in it spinning. But it's the other way around. The matter is unclear, but good).

It is well suited for the average user for ordinary purposes. Surf the Internet, type letters, read books and texts, sit on Odnoklassniki, watch movies, and in high quality. That is, for a user for whom the basic package already includes a set of necessary programs such as a torrent client or “online radio,” this will be more than enough.

For serious, highly specialized work, it is not suitable, but not because “Rosa” is defective, but because of the lack of software necessary for a specialist, for example, “Photoshop” or a full-fledged 3D editor. For example, I myself sometimes like to model something futuristic in the 3D editor Cinema 4D - - and not Blender, which, although you can run it on Rosa, is inconvenient for me! This means that sometimes you will have to use Windows.

The products are available in two versions and are designed for use in organizations whose work involves confidential, personal data and state secrets. The systems differ in the level of certification and among them there are separate desktop and server editions.

The company "NTC IT ROSA" is a Russian center for the development of system software, including orders required by Russian legislation in the field of information security.

Hello everyone, today’s material will be devoted to getting to know the distribution Linux ROSA Desktop Fresh R6 from the Russian company "NTC IT ROSA", which in my opinion is a good option for a free operating system for a home computer.

And I’ll start with the fact that I really liked the Linux distribution kit ROSA Desktop Fresh R6; it looks beautiful and original, it’s quite productive, it includes all the necessary and popular software, and what will probably please many is that it’s free. We will talk about this and much more now, but first I would like to remind you that we have already considered one Linux distribution, which is being developed by our Russian programmer, Point Linux, but it is focused on simplicity, speed and is suitable for those who do not we need all sorts of beautiful things. But if you want a simple, fast, convenient and at the same time beautiful and functional interface of your operating system, then you better take a closer look at the ROSA Desktop Fresh R6 distribution kit.

Linux distribution ROSA Desktop Fresh R6

ROSA Desktop Fresh R6 is a free distribution of the Linux operating system, developed and developed by the Russian company STC IT ROSA and the distribution community. This distribution keeps up with the times and is focused on innovation, as evidenced by the original system interface and new versions of programs that are included in it by default.

The default desktop environment is KDE, but you can also install GNOME, LXDE, XFCE, Mate and Enlightenment.

The distribution supports i586 and x86_64 processor architectures. It is multilingual and, of course, supports Russian.

As I already said, ROSA Desktop Fresh has an original and, most importantly, interesting design, which is facilitated by the company’s own developments, for example:

SimpleWelcome is a single launch point for applications grouped by their functional purpose, for example Internet, office, graphics, games, etc. SimpleWelcome has the following features:

  • access to all graphical applications on the system, as well as all recently running applications;
  • access to the latest open documents;
  • search by names and descriptions of applications, as well as by the names of recently opened documents;
  • launch applications using hotkeys, by default ALT+F1;
  • as well as other functionality.

Personally, SimpleWelcome reminded me of the start menu in Windows 8, i.e. tiles, although of course the design is different.

RocketBar— a quick launch bar for applications at the bottom of the screen with the ability to switch between them. One of the differences between RocketBar and the standard KDE bar is the ability to use large icons.

TimeFrame is a tool that allows you to track user activity on a timeline, for example, find files that you edited or created on certain dates.

StackFolder is a functionality that allows you to organize quick access to the most frequently used folders and files.

ROMP (ROSA Media Player) – multimedia file player.

I think that any of the readers of this article no longer considers the words “Operating system” and “Windows” to be synonymous, because knows at least one or more other systems. For many, this will be Android; for a significant number of people, Windows Phone and iOS are known; slightly fewer people have heard about OS X, FreeBSD and Ubuntu. All these operating systems are developed by Western (mainly American) organizations. At first glance, there is nowhere for a Russian person to cast his gaze... but no. We also have our own masters.

We are already accustomed to the fact that information technologies for Russia are not a subject of creativity, but a subject of passive study. Yes, we know the world-class antivirus from Kaspersky or the currently best text recognizer FineReader, also from a Russian company. Someone will remember Dr.Web. But in the general context, this is, if not a drop, then a small puddle in the sea that makes up our computer horizons. This illusion is wrong, because Not all active participants in the IT community are evaluated, but only those who actively promote themselves through advertising or sales managers. And who ends up outside our horizons? Yes, tens of thousands of domestic developers of different levels of professionalism and different areas of problems to be solved.

It's no secret that the most important component of any computer (except for the hardware inside the case) is the operating system. But do we have anything domestic to look for here? It turns out there is. Here is a short list of real projects that have been launched and have been working for several years:

I decided to consider the first one (ROSU), because... I assume that it is the most convenient for former Windows users of all the ones I have tried. More precisely: the editorial office “for the people” - Fresh (i.e. “Fresh” ROSA).


https://pp.vk.me/c622330/v622330599/4a111/e-lkYhJxA2M.jpg

The main problem for the user of a new operating system is mastering the new logic of working with a computer (after all, ROSA is not a clone of Windows, but a completely different OS). For example, a person who decides to switch to OS X from Apple will have to resolutely reject Windows habits, down to the “hot keys”. Here the Russian operating system has a minimum of problems: the bottom panel resembles the usual “Vendo” one in its operating logic, and the menu structure (let’s call it “START”) will please you with its simplicity and functionality.


https://pp.vk.me/c624419/v624419599/61c93/7xQG0ybJAO4.jpg

But this is only external “cosmetics”. Inside there are all the tools necessary even for a fairly advanced user: built-in players for a huge number of formats, a full-fledged office suite (analogous to MS Office), graphics, audio and video editors, an email client, two(!) browsers for fans from different camps (Firefox and Chromium) , a client capable of connecting to ICQ and QIP, utilities for burning bootable flash drives and disks. If necessary, we install Skype, TeamViewer and other useful programs through a convenient and concise program installer (most programs are installed and updated through this one tool without the need to update manually).


https://pp.vk.me/c622330/v622330599/4a11b/dmMw9LEA8S4.jpg

And even with all the massiveness of the pre-installed set of programs, ROSA manages to load and shut down faster than the products of the Redmond corporation. And the problem of viruses will only bother those who purposefully install them into the system. They cannot appear “suddenly” on the computer.

With all this, the system has many unique features for the Windows user. Just think about the ability to distribute WiFi Internet from your laptop in two clicks or the ability to mock the system with experiments after turning on the “freeze mode”, and then after a reboot see the system in a “pre-frozen” state.


https://pp.vk.me/c622330/v622330599/4a125/cm1N-A-A-Ok.jpg

In general, there are many advantages. You need to touch them to understand this. To do this, just boot into a full-fledged operating system directly from a CD or flash drive, without installing the system (unusual, right?). And if you like it, then install the system and during the installation browse the Internet or write an interesting article.

Another advantage of the Russian OS is the active and accessible Russian-speaking community
