Asturix (previously: AsturLinux) – an Ubuntu based Linux distribution targeted to desktop users, which offers its own desktop called Asturix On.

The project started in 2008 by Luis Iván, a then-12-year-old teen that was really bored of school. With its third version it was the world’s first OS integrating facelogin. Later Google added the same feature to Android. Its fourth version spotted Asturix On, the first desktop environment fully based on web technologies.

In 2008, Asturix was launched as AsturLinux. This name conflicted with an association of Linux users (the Asociación de Usuarios de Linux de Asturias), so the project was renamed Astur GNU/Linux and later Asturix to avoid confusion. By early 2009, Asturix SO started to be developed. Until the third edition of Asturix, there were three versions: Business, Desktop and Lite. On 25 February, Asturix 1 Desktop was released, and one month later, the Business version followed. Asturix was officially presented to the mass media in October, in the Press Club Center of Oviedo. In November there was an Asturix Installation Party in the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party’s local building, the People’s House. That party was covered by a reporter from La Nueva España. Asturix 1 was very similar to Ubuntu, and, consequently, it was criticized for being an “unnecessary fork”.
