A fully customized Gnome 3 spin of the famous Sparky Linux, a fantastic Debian Testing based Linux distribution. "Ready to go" distro with everything the average (and not so average) computer user would want and need. Catered to the media user, game player, emulation enthusiast, programmer, and of course the average home user that is looking for speed, stability, and an OS that simply works out of the box.
I created this spin simply because there is nothing out there that caters to my varied needs right from the get go. Some come close, but are always missing something that I need. This is my attempt to have it all. My attempt to eliminate the need for Windows entirely. It works for me. It may work for you as well. Why not try it?
The ISO weighs in at a just under 4GB. While it is pretty light on resources, I would certainly suggest a modern CPU and GPU. I am running on a Core i5 4460, 16GB of memory and a GTX 960 in my rig.
