SDesk is a new, lightweight Linux distribution designed for users transitioning from Windows or MacOS. It features a familiar GNOME interface and includes standard applications like LibreOffice and a minimal web browser called Swirl. While SDesk performs well, it has some issues typical of new distributions. Users may experience login problems after updates and lack multimedia codecs for certain file types, which can be resolved by installing VLC. Despite these minor drawbacks, SDesk offers a simple and reliable experience for new Linux users. The latest version, 19.1, has been released, promising further improvements.
