  • Hey, guys, what's up?

  • Welcome to experience Tech.

  • I'm beneath, and today's video is about boss Lennox.

  • Boss stands for Pirates Operating Systems Solutions.

  • And as the name suggests, it's an operating system developed by the Indian government as part of Digital India.

  • Initiative Giving, whom uses access to a free operating system that supports local Indian languages so that Indian citizens, especially those who recite in villages and are not well versed with English language, can also take the advantage off digital revolution and are not left behind.

  • It's an operating system that I have personally used long time back, even helped few officers to get the system installed on the computers, and I wanted to do a review video off it a long time back, but somehow it didn't work out as planned.

  • And also during that time, the Olds felt very outdated to me.

  • But now I have installed the latest versions, explained toe Anouk, and have been working on it for a few days.

  • So let me give you my view on Boss clinics, also known as the national operating system off India.

  • So, as always, let's begin with the history First Boss Lenox Project started in 2006 with version one point Tareq.

  • So it's been there for over 12 years and had six major releases.

  • However, version 5.0 ano ka was when I first got to use it, Boss.

  • Next also comes in three other variants.

  • I Do boss and educational based operating system for Indian Schools.

  • A server based addition on a mullah edition, which is there for redesigning the the next colonel.

  • The current release is versions explained, or a nuke, which was released in August 2015.

  • There have been two point releases since then, and the current release is version 6.2.

  • Not the operating system is actually developed by Seed, actually, which is an Indian government department that look after advanced computing development.

  • For the moment, the operating system is based on Deputy and the latest release run Lennox Colonel, 3.16 with gnome 3.14 as its desktop environment.

  • Now let's get to the distribution.

  • The installation process is exactly the same as that off Debian installation.

  • In fact, it to uses the same Debian installer and all the installation options are seen.

  • Not this is the deformed desktop which is known 3.14 There's not many changes here, however, if you want to change the look off, the desktop gnome treat tool comes preinstalled, and you can use that I have made a detailed video on howto tweak gnome desktop of I back.

  • You can check that video by clicking on the top right corner.

  • I'll all supposed to link off that video in the description below.

  • Now you get a decent list off default APS that are pre installed.

  • You get Firefox Prince Store, we'll see.

  • Media Player Library Office Suite also comes Brainstorm, and also other popular Debian APS liked Autumn movie player photos have toe view images, empathy, chart plant.

  • All comes preinstalled, so the different abs are sufficient to give you a smooth, out of the box experience.

  • One special feature that the desktop has is the ability to quickly change the input language.

  • Do your joints by pressing a key combination, which is shift control and space.

  • This will display a bar with all the instrument languages.

  • You can toggle through them by pressing the arrow keys and change the input language.

  • Since it's based on Debian, Boss also uses apt package manager to install, delete or update new packages.

  • You can run package update er apt to check for new updates available and install them on your system for me.

  • When I first installed the system and ran the software, it did not give me any update.

  • Instead, give a message that the system is up to date, even though it was not.

  • And that happened because I did not refresh my APP index.

  • If you also find yourself in that situation, you can either use terminal and run the command pseudo apt dash get spaced.

  • Update our run Synaptic Package Manager, which is the front end off apt and first click on Reload.

  • This will refresh the index and then you can restart package vibrator.

  • Now you'll get all the updates now.

  • There are over 43,000 packages available in Boss Repositories, which is quite a decent amount of packages for a distribution that is made for one particular country.

  • To install a new package or software, you can search for the package here.

  • Let's say I want to install till Dark Terminal, so search for Tilda and then right click on it and choose mark for installation and then go to the top and click on Apply.

  • This will install killed on the system.

  • Similarly, you can also remove or update installed packages from here, or that this was all about boss limits.

  • Now let's quickly talk about the pros and cons off this Linux distribution, starting with the pros.

  • First, it's a free operating system for Indian masses, so for people who cannot afford to buy expensive in, those operating system can use it.

  • Second, it supports 19 local Indian languages, which is really helpful for people who are not well versed with English language.

  • Third, it is secure than Windows always, which is also the primary reason for its development to use it in government offices and key departments to save God.

  • The information from any cyber attacks forced the installation is extremely simple.

  • You also get a set up dot E x e file in the city to start the installation process from the Windows operating system itself.

  • And fifth, there are a large number of software's available in its repositories are acknowledged.

  • Talk about the cons off the distribution.

  • First, the updates are extremely slow.

  • Updated software packages takes a very long time to reach the repose.

  • For example, the latest chromium version 65 is available in our Cripple, but the Rep oh off Boston next contains Version 57 which was released in the month off March 2070 2nd due to the delay in update, the operating system is not so secure it may be secured and Windows always by the system running outdated software's cannot be considered as secure as many vulnerabilities gets discovered in a year, which is why you get frequent updates off Software's third and probably the biggest one is that there's no forum or blood where you can look for help or find solution to your queries.

  • There is a forum you are, which is forum dot boss Lee not start in.

  • But it points to the home page off Boss Lennox.

  • There's a help line number also listed in the website, but that number also doesn't work, which is kind of flame.

  • See, Dag definitely needs to do something about it if they're serious.

  • With this operating system arrested, that was all about Boss Lennox.

  • No, the thousands off attacks happening on computers every day, running Windows operating system on computers in key government offices department is not considered very secure.

  • And due to this reason, many governments around the world have developed their only necks based operating system Toby, used in government offices so that security off information is not compromised.

  • Few examples off such operating systems are Cailin, which is developed by Chinese government parties.

  • Lennox, double back Turkish government and even North Korea has its only next based operating system, called Red Star Lennox, off, which very little is known about.

  • So it's good to know that India has also joined the list, but there's many issues that needs to be addressed, especially the updates that are really, really slow.

  • I think they need to work on it for it to address the real purpose arrested.

  • That was all.

  • I hope you find this video helpful.

  • If you have any queries regarding the distribution or if you have any sedition or feedback, do type that an indica mint box.
