Argentine singer-songwriter, recording engineer, programmer, and animated filmmaker Charlie Martinez has created Quirinux , a GNU/Linux distribution specifically designed for artists who want to create animated cartoons . The distro is based on Debian 9 with the lightweight XFCE desktop environment, and a complete system has been developed on top of it, bringing together all the necessary graphic animation tools so you don't have to rely on proprietary software.
Quirinux can be downloaded for free, although it includes a paid version that includes a printed manual, a 2-year warranty and a home installation service in Buenos Aires, Argentina. So we invite you to this wonderful opportunity if you want to know more about this fantastic project, in the meantime you can download it at the link that I leave at the end of this article ...
