This distro is a bit of a surprise.
I am not sure what exactly makes it PClinuxOS, if the base is Debian. It does have the extra software tools that usually come with PClinuxOS.
It has a recent 7.0.* Linux kernel. Has xLibre installed by default.
PClinuxOS is a rolling release, but the repositories for this appear to be Debian Trixie... so is this not a rolling release Linux?
SysV init version: 3.14 - so no SystemD
Would be great to chat with someone who knows more about this Distribution.
