Today we would like to introduce you guys to a brand-new GNU/Linux distribution, which unlike few others it aims to offer you a one hundred percent free desktop-oriented computer operating system.

Please meet Uruk GNU/Linux, a distro whose main design goal is to be a little different from the rest, as it tries to be based on a low-latency Linux-libre 4.2 kernel, which very few GNU/Linux distributions use, the old-school MATE desktop environment with the modern Plank dock, as well as a carefully selected collection of 100% free software projects.

Our headline says that Uruk GNU/Linux is an Ubuntu-based operating system, but the truth is that the first stable release of the distribution is built on top of a Trisquel GNU/Linux core, which is a 100% libre Ubuntu-based OS. So, Uruk GNU/Linux is indeed an Ubuntu derivative using the MATE desktop environment but targeted at the Arabic Linux community.
