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.[3]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.[4]Asturix was officially presented to the mass media in October, in the Press Club Center ofOviedo.[5]In November there was an Asturix Installation Party in theSpanish Socialist Workers' Party’s local building, the People’s House.[6]That party was covered by a reporter fromLa Nueva España.[7]Asturix 1 was very similar to Ubuntu, and, consequently, it was criticized for being an “unnecessaryfork”.

Asturix 2 was released in early 2010.[8]The launch was covered by the regional public television,RTPAand La Nueva España.[9]A national radio broadcaster,Onda Cero,[10]and a regional branch ofTelevisión Española,covered the story too.[11]In April,DistroWatchincluded Asturix in its list of distributions and reviewed it.[12]

In April 2010, Asturix was a finalist for theCampus PartyEuropa Innovation Prize,[13][14]an event which was covered by the regional branch ofCadena Ser.[15]Asturix 2 attracted attention from the Spanish Linux specialty media, including Linux +,[16][17]Revista Linux[18][19]and Todo Linux.[20][21]At the same time there were groups of reviewers that claimed Asturix was only a "remastersyscopy "of Ubuntu, and that it didn't justify media coverage.[22]

The third edition of Asturix was released in December 2010.[4]There were only two versions instead of three: the main version (namedSO) and the lightweight version (calledLite). The main improvements were the addition of face recognition to log in, the use ofweb apps(usingAsturix Bridge) and Asturix's own apps, and some SO modifications.[23]DistroWatch wrote a brief review about it.[24]At this time, Asturix was presented inMadrid[25]andLangreo(Asturias).[26]In 2011, Asturix set up an officialvoluntary association,[27]which was unveiled later and covered by La Nueva España.[28][29]In July, Asturix took part in the Campus Party Spain.Jon "maddog" Hallwas interested in the project and a month later he wrote about it in his monthly column ofLinux Magazine.[1]He gave Asturix the last ten minutes of his lecture,[30]in which Luis Iván Cuende García (Asturix creator) presentedAsturix On,a web-baseddesktop environment.

Luis Iván Cuende won theHack Nowcontest (in the under-18 category), an award for the best app or "hack" sponsored byHackFwd,for the development of Asturix On, adesktop environmentbased on web technologies, which was implemented in Asturix 4.[31]20 minutos,a Spanish free newspaper, interviewed Iván Cuende about this prize some days later[32]and RTPA did the same.[33]In November 2011, Asturix organized its first event, Youth and Free Culture with Open Source Software,[34]sponsored by CENATIC (a governmental organization)[35]which was covered by La Nueva España[36]and announced at the page ofCreative CommonsSpain.[37]

In January 2012, the final version of Asturix was released. It featured Asturix On and retained Asturix's own apps as found in the previous edition.[38]Due to the addition of Asturix On,[39]DistroWatch undertook another review and the editor, Jesse Smith, described it as a "mixed bag".[40]It was reviewed by someblogs,including one English-speaking,Hectic Geek,[41][42]though most were Spanish blogs, likeGenbeta.Asturix was also featured onTelevisión Españolatwice in this period.[43][44]Since then, no further development was made.
