A Software Curation to get Started

NX Desktop

The team has extended KDE Plasma to allow the user to glance over the system operations with easy to understand status displayed on the screen. It comes with Nitrux's set of customizations for the Plasma 5 Desktop.

NX Desktop includes new plasmoids (aka widgets) and a new look and feel package. This package includes wallpapers, Plasma themes, Konsole theme and profile, Aurorae themes, SDDM themes, cursors and color-schemes.

Here are some of the features specific to NX Desktop:

  • A new system tray replaces the traditional Plasma version.
  • A notification center to access all your notifications. The system tray has an area reserved specifically for them.
  • Quick access to networks that allows you to edit your network preferences (like switching between Wi-fi networks and Ethernet connections).
  • Easy multimedia controls combines the volume controls and the media controls of Plasma for simpler operations.

NX Firewall

NX Firewall is a firewall tool for Linux built with Qt toolkit. It comes with a wizard to create basic firewall rules. It allows you to open/close ports in a few clicks and to monitor/restrict your services.

It's a tool that provides a GUI for the ufw/iptables command-line interface.

The key features includes the ability to use profiles, quickly enable or disable the firewall, easily set incoming and outgoing rules and view which applications are listening on which ports, as well as to effortlessly add or remove rules.

Automate Backup Sync of your Files

Nitrux comes with the Kup application that helps people to keep up-to-date backups of their files. It's possible to save files to a USB drive or onto another computer on your network.

You can choose between synchronized (only updates what changed) and incremental (copy everything inside a location each time).

You can decide between three mode: Manual (triggered from a try icon popup menu), Interval (suggests a new backup after some time has passed), Usage-based (suggests new backup after some hours of activity).
