I tried LibreOffice Calc, Impress, and Writer and they all produced a Signal 11 error. The version of LibreOffice included on the ISO will not start. The problems with the live image are not limited to boot speed. The time to get to a working desktop was not particularly quick, nor was it extremely slow, but the length it did take makes Septor a less than ideal candidate for a quick, emergency "I need a secure Linux desktop NOW" flash drive. I had to disable Secure Boot first, but other than that I had no issues booting the flash drive and starting up the live desktop. (full image size: 680kB, resolution: 1366x768 pixels) Septor's 1.9GB ISO functions as both a live image and as installation media, so for this review I tried out both ways of using the ISO. The ISO also comes with non-free firmware, unlike the standard Debian ISOs, so various wireless adapters and other devices work automatically. Unlike Debian, Septor's ISO does not provide a choice of desktop environments it comes with the KDE Plasma 5.14 desktop environment with some layout and theme customization. Its focus is to provide programs connecting to the Internet with the ability to use the Tor network, along with a few other privacy/security focused applications. Septor is a security-focused distribution based on Debian Testing (Debian "Buster" at the time of writing).

This week we begin by sharing Joshua Allen Holm's review of the Septor distribution. In recent years more people have been turning to operating systems which attempt to limit the amount of data we leak to the Internet with Septor being one of the available options. Whenever we connect our computers to the Internet they transmit data which gives away information about ourselves such as what operating system we are running, what our interests are, who we associate with, and what software we use to communicate.
