Granular, or Granular Linux, was a Linux distribution targeted at the common desktop users. Granular was based on PCLinuxOS and came as an installable live CD. The CD version of Granular featured two desktop environments[2]KDE and a development version of Enlightenment. Where KDE is a full-featured desktop environment, Enlightenment is a lightweight desktop shell which is markedly faster than KDE.[3]

Granular v0.25 was the first release that featured two desktop environments – KDE and Xfce
