Very good distro, I see some issues on the betas still, but overall is looking that is going in the right track. I think this is a great start for whats going to be a friendly distro for people that want to get used to Void Linux. Keep the Good Work! I believe this is going to be a great distro.
The main things I can say about this distro is that it is unique from others by choosing Mate as its main DE choice, that makes it look different than most average linux distros that stick to good ol' xfce. Another thing I liked is the fact that it has its own custom installer, that makes it be different as well in a good way.
Really good start for this distro!

If you’ve ever wanted to try Void Linux but were intimidated by the "build it from the ground up" DIY nature of the distro, Neko-Void is exactly what you’ve been looking for. It’s an unofficial respin that takes the rock-solid, lightning-fast foundation of Void and wraps it in a package that actually works the moment you live-boot it.
Right now, it ships with a beautifully preconfigured MATE desktop. It’s clean, lightweight, and stays out of your way. But the real "secret sauce" here is the post-install assistant. Instead of spending hours hunting down packages and editing config files, the assistant lets you toggle the system into a specialized machine for gaming, music production, or design work in just a few clicks.

Switched from Arch-based to this to get away from Systemd (everyone has their own opinion on that, but I was ready to make the move). Install went well from their most recent iso, and I got answers to the couple of questions I had quickly. If you enable the repos out of the gate, AUR is still accessible. Very happy with this move—I still get Arch, but can pick a different, faster init. If you’re looking for a different init, this and Devuan are your Arch and Debian bases, respectively (there’s also Gentoo and Void, but again, I wanted to stay within the Arch family). Great timing and great work on this distro—if there’s any nitpick, I’d love to see more documentation aimed at pure beginners to help that initial hurdle, but maybe that will come with time.
PS—I will say there are a lot of iterations of isos to pick from, between desktop environments and init combos. Enjoy picking out the right one for you, and don’t worry—you can try a couple flavors to see what is best for you.

At first, MX didn't install the default video driver (modesett) for me, but once I deleted the config file, Dangerous Waters started running fine on Steam. Then I went to check out Virtual Pool 4, and as a result, when changing the resolution or switching to full-screen mode, you get a permanent black screen; even when you just hover the mouse over the brightness slider, the graphics in the game window die. But overall, I’m very happy with this distribution as my first experience after nearly 15 years of using Windows.

Greatest debian distro for me. Beautiful xfce theme, light, zippy and stable. Comes with preinstalled set of utilities that includes Linux software installation, nVidia driver installation and some other goodies which makes life of a newbee migrating from Win to Linux smooth and easy. This is the one that ended distro-hopping for me :P
They also make this distro with MATE, KDE, MATE, LXDE, GNOME, and IceWM window mangers. And there is also server version of this distro.
Thank you for all your work!

неполохой дистрибутив, подхватил дрова на интел встройку сразу.
весьма и весьма в минималистичной поставки - что даже юсб сам подрубать не будет - надо порыскать какой пакет занимается этим.
ещё минус - онлайн установщик поломан и уходит в бесконечную загрузку. благо хото оффлайн с исошника можго поставить изи.
Главный плюс - это сама идея создателей дистра - не идти на поводу и не следовать идиотским решениям, а выбирать свой путь разумно прислушиваясь чего хочет кор аудитория.
ну и на англ- плэйсхолдер - не читайте
I downloaded the runit xfce,lxqt and mate versions.
After total install of the lxqt I out there is no way to connect my external hds or usb sticks.
Same for the xfce version. No external drives possible.
Mind I have only 1 option left, which is the Mate version.
Fortunatly the mate version works like charm,so absolutely recommend the mate version.
I do not recommend kde cause kde will go for systemd like gnome did.

Nice looking respin and it is done well. Just enough installed to get you started and the network is working out of the box so does the sound. It's not minimal in terms of a base iso nor bloat either. It is closer to a minimal KDE or MATE you can find with software premade. It makes use of octoxbps wich is what synaptic is for Devuan (or debian). It has nice theming (catpuccin) and feels snappy. ZSH is the main shell instead of Bash or Dash used by standard void iso. It's for those on a hurry. I.E you want KDE or Mate and you don't have the time to fix sound or network or whatever and search for packages. Install this and you are done. 10/10 for me. Runit is very fast. systemD does not exist thankfully!!!

Arch isn't as hard as many make it out to be. Installing it is similar to building your computer. You pick the individual components to make your PC. Arch does most of the work for you by finding dependencies. I feel that Arch may not be the best distro for beginners. Cachy and Endeavour may be better.
Arch is a very good distribution, as everything is up to date. The latest packages are there. The AUR is vast, so if you can't find a package you're looking for in the repos, the AUR is always there. Just be cautious when using the AUR as some packages may be malicious or broken. Arch rarely breaks the bootloader, the past 4 years using Arch, I never had an unbootable system.
Arch may be customizable and up to date, but in some cases this is it's downside. Some desktop environments are stable like XFCE and some like KDE break with updates. KDE freezes randomly, the glitch has been tamed, but it still happens from time to time. Some apps may break after an update which forces me to use timeshift to revert the update and hope a patch is sent down.
Arch is a very nice distribution, for gaming it's excellent, for general work, it's alright. I wouldn't put Arch on a mission critical computer where up time is a priority as Arch may break from an update, if you prioritize stability and want to use Arch, go with XFCE. I used the XFCE Arch Linux and had no problems with random freezes.

A fast and smooth modern system that offers the best experience, or at least the best I have tried so far among operating systems. It is undisputedly the fastest, with absolutely fantastic resource management. It is the best in terms of interface aesthetics, and the customization capability is extremely high; simply do whatever you imagine, as there are no limits to what you can do and change. It is a masterpiece, and something I have never felt this satisfied with in a system my entire life; it is freedom in every sense of the word. Compared to Windows, it's like a one-square-meter jail cell.
Most importantly, it is incredibly fast, and this is due to the optimized kernel. Thanks to everyone who contributed to building this system. I must mention something very important: no matter the load on the system or the amount of software running in real-time, the system maintains fast and stable performance. Words do not do it justice; it is wonderful. I have spent a very long time with Linux systems, but this system was something completely different. I mean the massive software support, and the support for continuous fixes at a very rapid pace; sometimes a specific software or program in the system fails, and it doesn't take more than three days to a week for the issue to be resolved. This is the fastest system support and improvement experience I have had in my life.
The support, development, and improvement teams are like soldiers who never sleep, neither day nor night; updates can arrive 3 to 5 times a week, which is incredibly strong support. Even though they might include updates from the original Arch kernel, I inspect every update, and most of them relate to the system itself and its optimized kernel. To shock readers even more, they have even modified many software programs to match the high speed of the system; for example, the fastest web browser in the world, "Thorium," has been modified by the system's team into a custom version. I tried it, and oh my god! With the fastest system in the world and the fastest browser in the world, I now have the fastest experience in the world. Previously, I thought some of the slowness in web browsing was due to the internet service provider, but after this experience, and with the exact same internet speed, it turns out a large part of the speed depends on the system and the browser.
To sum up my point: try this system. I promise you will experience unprecedented speed, provided your device meets the medium requirements to run it, as it is designed for modern devices. I have a very powerful computer running it, and I must honestly say: I have loved this system and I have no intention of ever leaving it, no matter what happens.

I switched to Artix from CachyOS, which was a great distro, but I wanted to get away from Systemd and try something new. I used a Ventoy .iso to install the KDE/dinit version, and had no issues with the install—very clean, very fast.
Getting started was not quite as smooth as Cachy—there’s a little work to do enabling repos, since I still wanted to use the AUR, but all in all, I was up and going very quickly. The subreddit and the Artix forum was helpful. Happily, dinit has made for some very quick booting, so I am very pleased with that.
I think Artix is definitely worth it for a few different types of folks:
1) Those who want an Arch experience, but want to avoid systemd (or have enjoyed Arch but want to move away from systemd or maybe something else in that distro’s community);
2) Those looking for a distro that allows for other inits (openrc, runit, dinit, etc., all options)—one of the best options alongside Devuan, Alpine, and Void;
3) Those looking for a distro that has provision for Xlibre (a niche thing, I know, but very important to some)
Artix is gaining some momentum as I write this, due no doubt to individuals fleeing systemd, but bear in mind this is a moderate-sized distro right now. It’s big enough to have good documentation and maintenance, but it isn’t Ubuntu or Cachy-sized (and maybe that’s a good thing in some ways). It’s a pretty chill vibe at the moment, with more of a focus on things working or getting them to work. I am grateful for that.
If you’re starting out with Linux or Arch, sure, you can use Artix without much hassle, but do a little reading and visiting first. It’s a helpful community, so that and the Wiki will help you get going quickly. If you do just a little research, it will pay big dividends. In any case, this has been a really great experience, and I can happily recommend giving Artix a go.

I'm very grateful to the developers of this system! It's very user-friendly; I've been using it for a long time, and it feels like home. I don't remember any system crashes; it's like an SUV. If I remove the SSD with ANTIX from one computer and insert it into another, the system adapts without a problem. I also installed several versions of ANTIX in a virtual machine to study networking technologies. I use ANTIX on Thinkpad x60 x61s, Dell Precision m4700, and a modern PC. The system deploys quickly, and everything I need is preinstalled, including browsers and office applications. I especially like the minimalist design; it's both beautiful and functional! The SysV initialization system is not systemd, although I don't know much about that.

As an advanced user who quite fancies immutable distros, I found Bluefin to be exactly what I wanted from a distro.
Great minimal set of preinstalled things on the base immutable system, while everything else is encouraged to be handled as much as possible through flatpaks or distroboxes (which not only totally avoids the problem of dependecy hell, but also allows for better security). Also the defaults in terms of preinstalled gnome extensions are quite good and nice to have, and if you prefer a stock gnome look you can just disable them in the extension manager.
Since I (unfortunately) got an NVIDIA gpu, having the drivers preinstalled was really cool, as layering them myself leaded to much slower updates on my previous Fedora Silverblue install.
Overall it's a very solid distribution, no matter if you know your way around linux, or if you're just a new linux user.

Perfection!
Andromeda version 6.6. The installation went as planned (did not have to compromise any of my pre-conceived requirements, which I have had to do on various distro installers from time to time). I also loved that once finished and rebooted into the installed version it remembered all of my settings and tweaks from the live DVD. Next step was just to install codecs then a few of my favorite apps.
I really like what the Q4OS developers have done with the update and software installation processes. It is "friendly," for want of a better word, and it is fast. You'll make your selection(s) from the extensive list presented or from entering your desired app in the search field, and then you'll see what's about to happen, select "okay," and then watch it happen. Don't blink, because it is a nice quick process, and you get what you want and that's that.
This is an Acer Aspire a517-52 with 11th generation Intel Core i7 and 40 GB ram and Mesa Intel Iris XE graphics chip. This laptop was purchased new about 5 years ago. This is the fastest, most responsive distro I've ever seen on any machine, and certainly on this one. I've had many many distros on this, including several versions of GhostBSD (which comes in second for speed). I cannot rave enough about how impressed I am with the speed and overall instant functionality of Q4OS.
All tweaks and personal changes are intuitively arrived at on the Q4OS iteration of KDE Plasma. I don't know how they did it, but when moving from one parameter to another things go so smoothly that I get the feeling they've discovered a lot of unnecessary code here and there and either changed it to work better or removed it; things you do happen NOW. ;o)
It is very easy to award Q4OS a 10 rating.

Okay, This is my first day with Quarkos,
I had stability problems with Mint xfce and Kubuntu 24.04 blocked 3 times the first day in use.
With Quarkos the installation went flawless, what can not be said of Kubuntu 24.04. The kubuntu installer worked, but not without errors.
Here, no. No erors at all, despite Quarkos is based on Kubuntu 24.04.
So the q4os team managed to get the errors out of the installer, which is really good.
The codecs installed succesfully and the nvidia was installed in auto. Easy.
So, yes, I am pleased with the result.
We know the devteam is rather conservative so this still is KDE plasma 5 series, with x11.
I recommend QUARKOS to those gents missing Mint KDE. And to those trying Kubuntu 24.04.
Quarkos is the much better choice.

Great improvement. I love ZimaOS, easy to use and a very intuitive interface. IceWhale is ever so slowly improving their software. I run on their devices and on VM's in ProxMox no issues.
It has it's quirks I wish there was more ability to manage security from users to exposed ports. The ports are not much of an issues there are plenty of tools to manage that. Users though that is more difficult. Also like CasaOS you have manage NFS in a CLI. Using CLI is not a problem but you don't know at all that NFS has been enabled unless you it has been.
Overall IceWhale is improving the software slowly but hopefully surely.

Fantastic distributions. I run it on a Lunar Lake device with an RTX 4050 and the performance is unmatched as is the battery life. I can can upwards of 9 hours of usage and the power draw is close to 5w and the gpu sits perfectly idle. There are some Keybinds I reworked but its opinionated and I agree with most of its out of box decisions. There are some preinstalled software pieces I don't care for, and some shamless plugs for DHH's on company software like hey email, Fizzy, etc. But easy way to uninstall them, so not an issue.

I have been trying out many distros over the past few months. There was always some problem with all of them, even with very well known and usually reliable editions. Either the installation stopped, the printer could NOT be hooked up or simply no synaptic repository available to pull in vital and necessary programs. In my desperation I tried quite a few unknown or lesser known distros and low and behold "Lilidog Trixie" came to the rescue. It made my "day" - or should I say "week" or "month" ?
To my way of thinking Lilidog behaved as Linux should behave - give it a command and it does exactly that ! Installation was a breeze, the desktop was pleasant and useful and all important programs were either there or available through "synaptic".
Even after installation of many programs, particularly printer files, the system worked well and didn't complain of anything. Even a change of keyboard and locale went without a hitch - I am truely impressed :))
One can tell that the developer(s) tried their work out before they released it and a lot of thought went into this distro. I am very grateful for this because the terrible thought crossed my mind that all is not well in the Linux world and I might have to give Windows another try after 15 years of Linux relieve.
Credit must be given where credit is due and I can only recommend "Lilidog Trixie" for beginners and Linuxers alike, it definitely deserves 10 out of 10 points !

I have always had at least one computer/laptop running Debian, maybe not "pure" Debian , but always Debian. The rock solid stability and the straightforward structures make it probably the easiest "Linux" to learn .
For beginners there is a learning curve, although it is nowhere near as steep as it once was , most tasks can be accomplished using a gui , and those that cannot are usually self explanatory in their terminal command form.
Debian is capable, dependable and backed up by world class documentation and an enormous worldwide community of people who are always willing to help those who try to help themselves. A little bit of rtfm never hurt anyone .
For the latest offering, Trixie, as ever rock solid, and when paired with the KDE Plasma desktop environment it is a pleasure to use , everything is configurable and customizable . Seamless integration with all of my Bluetooth devices , KDE Connect allows me to have three phones and another laptop all connected to my main laptop for easy file transfers and shares.
Printing using a 7000 series HP Smart Tank works effortlessly .
Downsides are few, each new release sees the Debian developers taking a step further towards painless transition for Windows users into the world of Linux . similarly the old image of Debian being an elitist , purist OS similar to Arch is rapidly changing . Debian in its many forms is adaptable scalable and very very capable of doing pretty much anything you need your computer to do .
My advice to anyone is keep the laptop you have right now , running whatever you run and get a second laptop running on Debian and gradually switch yourself over to Debian , take time to learn not just how it does what you want ti to do , but try to understand how it does everything it does. Once you grasp the way it works , you can make it do what you need in so many different ways until you find the way that is right for you .
I have been using Debian since around 1998 and would be reluctant to move away from it now . I have used many many other OS's over the years but most of them fall short on compatibility , dependability or stability which I know I can achieve with Debian.
Keep up the good work Debian developers, and all the Debian team worldwide too .
We see you and we acknowledge you .

Very interesting distro that provides a lot of power and functionality, at the price of learning curve which in my opinion, is worth the time to learn. The documentation is very good and the community is extremely helpful and responsive if one encounters issues. Using guile for system configuration is very powerful and flexible. I expected not to like shepherd, but it stays out of the way and defining new services and timers is really trivial with great examples in the docs to follow. Another feature I really enjoy using is guix deploy to manage all the systems running guix, similar to ansible or other configuration management systems but its just built into guix itself. I highly recommend giving guix a try if you are curious about declarative system configuration, modern packaging systems, or even just wanting to play with guile/scheme.

I have installed Xenix, Unix, and well over 60 different versions of Linux spanning over 36 years, yes, even Mint, Zorin, Nixos and every version of Linux BBQ available. Unfortunately, not one of these comes close to the absolute beauty and polished Brazilian Linux called "BIG-LINUX". Second close because of the terminal & Gui tools is MX linux!
This software reigns Supreme, it's Head & Shoulders well above the rest of the pack. From Dual boot screen to its Login Screen, its a visual delight to behold. There is enough under the hood to meet everyone's needs, from network management, programming, gaming to even sending a 'Whats-App' message, it has everything your hearts desire. If you don't find BigLinux impressive, you are deluded, got your head in the clouds and living out arcade aspirations of getting a job done via over the mountain route instead of using the express tunnel! There's an easy way & a difficult tedious way, like Nixos and Gentoo!
I prefer the easy way! What is it of Snapshots in BigLinux you don't understand??? Its there for a reason, so theres nothing impressive about multiple booting used by Nixos. So end your suffering and move over to where the fun begins!
Big-Linux wins hands down. TEN STARS **********
Remember to use the correct version, 1st is for the older machine, 2nd is what I use on my HP i3 2017 , 8 RAM. the 3rd is your modern PC & Laptop. If you use the wrong one, you gonna encounter problems! So choose correctly! Enjoy this Linux, I AM. And I'm 71.

It started with searching for a distro that supports OneDrive out-of-the-box without the hassle of manual configuration from Terminal. Because all my documents are there.
After successfully integrating OneDrive into Nautilus File Explorer with ease in Zorin, I'm now even more captivated by the beautiful sound thanks to EasyEffect, the smoothness of playing my collection of games with Steam + Proton GE without the tearing and stutter that usually occur in Windows.
And my Intel AX200 chip is now more stable at 5GHz with an 80MHz bandwidth.
If there's anything missing, it's the lack of native Microsoft Office 365. But that's not a weakness of Linux/Zorin, it's just that Microsoft doesn't want to support it. If they wanted to, they could, as evidenced by Microsoft SQL Server running natively on Linux.

A set up and forget kind of distro, good for the old enough or wise enough that don't bother with compulsive tinkering. I've been using Bluefin on my laptop for a couple of months and I had no big issues so far. Might require more RAM than most distributions, since it uses the latest technologies, so be aware. A very good choices for noobs as it resembles a phone due to Gnome DE. The Android-like interface makes it suitable for people that have no prior contact with desktop computers, much like Chrome OS. Great experience!

I have tried Ubuntu (and other distros) since early 2000 something and always had to uninstall because of strange errors and such but again a yearor so I tried again. And now since some years back it seems to work Flawless these finally!. Ubuntu works with all Steam games which make me happy and the reason I use Linux today. Also other programs support Linux and its very easy to install. Also Bluetooth devices connects and work directly. Had no issues at all with graphics while gaming.. Just working ! So now I only use Windows for specific games like Fortnite or Battlefield which, yet, isn't supporting Linux platform.

I love the system Ubuntu, since 2005 ... revolution Linux OS.......It really was a turning point, wasn’t it? Back in 2005, when Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) and 5.10 (Breezy Badger) were the new kids on the block, it felt like the "Linux for Human Beings" promise finally became a reality.
The revolution that Ubuntu sparked shifted the entire landscape of open-source software by focusing on three main pillars:
1. The "ShipIt" Program
One of the most radical moves was Canonical mailing out free installation CDs to anyone in the world, regardless of their location. For those with slow 2005-era dial-up, this was the first time they could actually get their hands on a modern OS without a week-long download.
2. The Death of "Dependency Hell"
While Debian had the foundation, Ubuntu popularized the APT (Advanced Package Tool) system for the masses. Suddenly, installing software wasn't a nightmare of compiling source code or hunting for missing .so files; it was just a simple command or a click in the Synaptic Package Manager.
3. Hardware that "Just Worked"
In 2005, getting Wi-Fi or sound to work on Linux usually required a blood sacrifice and editing xorg.conf for hours. Ubuntu pushed for better driver support and a graphical interface that didn't require a Computer Science degree to navigate (though it certainly inspired many to get one!).

I'm using Kubuntu 24 LTS on a Thinkpad T14, MX Linux on a workstation with Debian based MX linux and KDE neon.
The latter two since approx 2020/2021.
The good of KDE neon (user) is the KDE application repository with latest (stable) application programs.
More than a year ago, I had the choice to update from Ubuntu 22 LTS base to 24 LTS, but because of some reported distro update problems, I decided to postpone it. In january I did it.
The process of updrading is very professionally. But I had some problems anyway. But information related to experiences other neon users helped to get the system working right (I still feared that I had serious problems!).
Problems may always arise in such circumstances, but I rate it as a miracle that the system got it right.
Later on, I only had an issue with the GeForce 730 graphic card, which appeared not to work well from kernel version beyond 6.14 (I remember). Anyway that's not a flaw of neon, but a matter of genuine looking what was the cause of the problem. The thing is that only a Display Driver version 580 was compatible with the update. I needed at least a GeForce 750, because the 730 was no longer supported in this version.
After buying GeForce 1030, all upgrade related problems were gone.
I realize that the information above has a limited value for rating KDE neon, but adequate solving of problems in a complex system is an indication of product quality.
I also can confirm to be very happy with neon. The only downside is the Windows like habit to install many updates in a reboot sequence. But when this procedure would be more robust, it's worth it.
The final reason to write a review is the fact that an average rating of 7.9 appears to low to my opinion. When I look at the review history, I see a few very low ratings during the time of the move from 22 LTS to 24 LTS.
Perhaps it makes sense for distrowatch to also publish a review graph over time for every distro out there (rating 1-10 on y-axis. This would help substantially to judge clearly better if a distro could be a good choice for installing or trying it out.
Bottom line: I'm happy that X11 is still the default X server, not Wayland.

ABSOLUTE PEAK. Can't find anything wrong with it after 7 months of usage. It's fast, it's reliable and it's feature-packed. I have noticed the improvement in performance coming from bazzite I have been enjoying how easy it is to get used to and it ties perfectly with KDE Plasma.
I have it on two key devices of note, one is my main PC, but the other is an Asus BR1100CKA.
This laptop has a Dual-Core Celeron N4500 at 1.10Ghz and 4GB of RAM. The storage is 64GB of eMMC and yet it plays games perfectly fine on CachyOS. The one that performs the best (easy 60fps) is MegaBonk.

Deepin is iindeed an eye catcher. I just installed it onto a Lenovo Thinkcentre dual core (older pc) on Samsung ssd.
Deepin 25.0 I installed and was intern by the system upgraded to 25.1.0 the other day.
I did run into a few things: The clock in the right corner cannot be set to the 24hours setting. No switch is available. And also in the Time and Region settings there is no way to do so. The suggested commandline prompt from Github was not accepted either. So still could not change the clock setting.
Second thing I encounter: The HP-cups driver did not install from the Deepin Printer manager. Tried a few times but did not work. I had to install Synaptic first and then from there the hp-cups driver. After that the Printer manager did install my printer.
Last thing I encounter: Linyaps do not install,only Debian packages will. The call out when I press Install is always: Installation failed.
I must add that I did not yet created a Deepin-ID, so don't know if that has anything to do with the app issues.
For the rest very lovable distro indeed,but because of the hickups on my system: a 9 for now.

Bazzite was the first distro I used after deciding to ditch Microslop and their Dumpster Fire of an operating system. My PC has sort of gotten into the years and Windows ate up nearly half of my RAM in idle so I decided it's as good a time as any.
Before I get into my experience and review, my PC rocks a Ryzen 7 2700X, A Radeon RX7900GRE, 32GB of DDR4, 1TB and 500GB Sata SSDs, held together by a dying ASUS X370 Prime-A.
Installing Bazzite was REALLY simple. Which I, as someone only just getting into Linux, really appreciated. The added benefit of Bazzite was, due to it being immutable, I couldn't really mess anything up in a major way. Setting everything up was easy enough and I really quite enjoyed the GNOME Desktop environment. Gaming was easy and uncomplicated. Overall the experience was quite enjoyable and simple.
I do have quite a few negatives though. For whatever reason the boot time was absolutely horrendous. I spent upwards of three minutes staring at the RPM-Ostree screen at times. I tried everything but the best boot time i was able to achieve was still around a minute. I also ended up very much disliking the limitations of an immutable OS and not being able to install packages normally. The simplicity and ease of use of Flatpak are nice but sometimes I need an application to be unisolated, on the actual system. Bazzite makes this really difficult. In the end you don't have full control. Not everyone needs it, mind you, but I would like it.
In the end, this distro is perfectly suited for gamers switching from Windows looking for an easy to use OS that doesn't require you to do much. If you are looking for customizability though, and the classic Linux experience of open source, community run software that you can adjust and play with, Bazzite isn't for you. It definitely helped me get into Linux, but after 4.5 months now, I think it's time for me to move on.

I tried Void for the first time earlier this year and used it until the beginning of this month, so roughly about three months. What I can say is that it is definitely a distro that deserves more love for what it sets out to do, but in its current state, it is hard to stick with unless you are okay with putting in some effort to fix things along the way.
I ran into several performance issues, as well as some problems getting the system to recognise connected devices like my external SSD and Bluetooth mouse. Even though the resource usage looked relatively low on paper, the system often felt sluggish with certain programs, which is something I had not experienced before on other systems using the same setup and configurations.
These, along with a few smaller annoyances, gradually wear down the overall experience. In the end, that is what made me decide to move away from it, at least for now. Maybe I will give it another shot in the future when I have more time to deal with these kinds of issues. For now, though, it just does not quite cut it.

My new fav distro, everything just works, smooth, fast, doesn't break my dual boot installation....
Heck even windows apps run better on it out of the box...
I love it how all app windows look the same and unlike many other distros where app windows look all different and cant be themed because if it.
Also scales beautiful out of the box on hdpi screens.
Also Bluetooth works and wifi without issues, in many distros like Catchy and Manjaro Bluetooth for some devices had to be reconfigured after reboot.
I was cross compiling some windows executables on Zorin and tested them with Wine, after my app was finished i wanted to test it on actual Windows and to my surprise my app which does some data processing ran 10x slower in actual windows vs using wine in Zorin.

9.66 GB ISO size, are you serious?? They crammed the preinstalled software with OBS, Blender, Kdenlive, and a bunch of other niche crap for 3 percent of users. Why?
Live images freeze incredibly when launching, the mouse cursor sticks to the screen and is almost impossible to move. Applications take a long time to launch, and some don't launch at all, while they can hang in processes and consume memory.
What's the point of such a distribution?
Last year, I used Nobara for several months, but I constantly encountered various errors and bugs, repositories crashed, the proprietary update utility returned errors and refused to update even individual components, and once the encoding broke, leaving empty rectangles instead of text.
I decided to give this distro another try, but no thanks. It's better to look for something more reliable, lightweight, and functioning correctly.

A distribution that deserves much more!
The Void distribution is one of the fastest, lightest, most cleanly designed Linux distributions I've had the pleasure of using. Everything is trim, efficient, and surprisingly fast.
The core philosophy is unusual: unlike many mainstream distributions, Void is not based on Debian, Ubuntu, or Arch — it is built from scratch, offering a clean, bloat-free experience. That independence is rare and genuinely matters.
The custom build package manager is fast and very reliable.

É uma distro do "camano".
Há algum tempo que esperava que aparecesse algo no mundo Linux com o bom gosto do AnduinOS. Quase tudo tem um excelente aspeto, um GNOME bem personalizado onde quase tudo funciona como esperado.
Tenho muito pouco a dizer contra e, o que realmente aponto como negativo, acredito que em versões futuras será removido ou simplesmente esquecido.
É uma distro limpa, bonita e incrivelmente estável. Acredito que as fundações Debian/Ubuntu são, em grande parte, responsáveis pelo sucesso do sistema, claro, sem nunca menosprezar o fantástico trabalho de Anduin Xue.
Atualmente, tenho 6 PCs (com utilizadores diferentes) a correr AnduinOS e, a menos que algo corra muito mal, não pretendo mudar tão cedo.

This system is especially well-suited for people who build software or want to really understand how Linux operates under the hood. The creators have clearly put a lot of effort into it, and that shows in its design and capabilities. It would be great if more people explored it and recognized how useful it can be in the right context.
That said, it’s not the easiest choice for someone who just wants a simple, everyday operating system. It’s not really meant for casual use. But if you’re willing to invest time and learn how everything fits together, it can be a rewarding way to deepen your knowledge. Just keep in mind that its primary audience is developers.

I've tried and tried several distros to install on my Optiplex 755—Solidx, PCLinuxOS, xubuntu—but I have to say that none have been as precise, smooth, or easy to install as MX.
Not to mention the performance; with 8GB of RAM, it flies like a charm, perhaps also because I activated a kind of performance booster during installation (I don't remember the exact name, but it was something that increased memory performance).
Xfce flies, of course!
If I had to find a flaw in this distro, it's that it's not rolling. I was looking for a rolling or semi-rolling one, but otherwise, it's perfect for many PCs without a doubt!
Truly, a round of applause for the developers. Who knows, maybe one day they'll manage to make it rolling... who knows?
I'm not surprised that it's still in second place in the rankings; it deserves it!

Solid distribution. One of the best, if not the best, for those that want a clean minimal base they can set up for their exact specific needs. Despite being a rolling release distro, I found it to be extremely reliable, very rarely having issues (only new big version releases of KDE caused some bugs, other than that I had zero problems after daily driving it for one whole year).
However, as time went by and my life got busier I started to notice Arch's shortcomings:
-Extremely time consuming installation process (archinstall helps to speed up things, but in some ways I found Endeavouros with it's calamares installer to be the better alternative if you just want an easy install of Arch)
-Security is a pain in the ass to properly set up, as you have to manually define your policies for AppArmor or SELinux (altough a positive aspect of Arch in regards to security is that it's a minimal distro -> which means smaller attack surface)
-The community, or at least the part of the community that I've interacted with, was kinda toxic - never truly found people willing to actually help you with an issue (most of them were like "if you can't figure it on your own just switch to another distro", which is a shame)
Overall it's a very good distro, and has the best documentation you can find on a linux distro, but it's only suitable for thinkerers and hobbyists that got plenty of time on their hands.

CachyOS was easy to install and significantly improved my gaming performance, even on an NVIDIA card. For me personally on fairly budget hardware those improvements were pretty extreme, nearly doubling frame rates in some cases (compared to Linux Mint), but depending on your hardware the differences might be more or less noticeable.
In terms of software, CachyOS uses pacman as the primary package manager and benefits from all the packages available in the Arch repositories, as well as the AUR, which gets pretty much every package anyone is going to need. There are a lot of GUI options available, so it's possible (though not recommended) to avoid using the terminal for a large variety of things.
On the Desktop Environment side of things, CachyOS defaults to the latest version of KDE Plasma, which is arguably the best Linux DE by far right now. There are also a number of other options available at install including GNOME, XFCE, Cosmic, Cinnamon and more. For those who like Window Managers instead of full DEs, CachyOS has plenty of options there as well including Niri (my personal favorite), Hyprland, Sway, i3, and more.
The filesystem that CachyOS uses by default is BTRFS, though other options like EXT4, XFS, ZFS, F2FS, and BcacheFS are available if desired. If installing using BTRFS, CachyOS has automatic snapshot using snapper that allow you to rollback your system from the boot menu fairly easily in case of any issues. This is helpful both in the case of an update breaking something, as does happen on occasion with rolling release distros, and in the case of any tinkering gone wrong.

EndeavourOS has quickly become my absolute top Linux distribution so far. I’ve been following the current Linux landscape closely, and while I certainly understand the hype surrounding CachyOS and other performance-oriented distros, there is something uniquely compelling about the way EndeavourOS handles the desktop experience. It manages to be incredibly beautiful, clean, and polished, all while remaining perfectly functional and reliable for daily use.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this distribution even to a complete beginner. The installation process is straightforward, the post-install experience is intuitive, and it provides just the right amount of guidance without being overly opinionated. Personally, I returned to the Linux ecosystem after about ten years away. Like many others, I spent a solid week or two 'distro-hopping' to test the waters, explore the latest advancements, and see what the modern Linux world has to offer after a decade of absence. After testing several options, EndeavourOS just clicked for me.
EDIT: my wife will tell you it was more than just one or two weeks of distrohopping.

Artix Linux is great when you know what you're doing but anyone can learn, it's a little less hardcore than void.
Which I've been messing around in distros for less than a month. I broke my first artix install, by installing yay and a bunch of stuff. It could really use a maintained package installer for lazy people like me. But I can get most stuff working off flathub.
I've installed it on 3 machines, I've had issues with 1.
Calmares installer does not work well with Lenovo X1 Nano GEN3(intel iris), I had to resize the window a million times as it wouldn't update what I was doing on the screen unless I resize. But when I managed to get through the install, it worked but it took me ages to figure out that little trick. i didn't want to go through a konsole install, i did it with void linux it was hell, didn't enjoy the experience. The sound didn't work though and I broke the install trying to install pipewire.
I've been using windows since Win95, I even had a big floppy disk mac, switching to linux wasn't too bad, I'm just at the age where I want less thinkering and more things working out of the box, so I can do the things I want to do.
I've been worried about how SystemD is bending the knee to totalitarian over-reach from the governments (US States, UK, Brazil and potentially Canada, meta is lobbying the gov) and how we NEED diversity to prevent a full take over, the ending of net annoynimy using the child excuse when there's parental controls available, digital id will open a door we're not ready for, hence why I really want this project to work and decentrilization. Hell if we need unground repos then lets do it, onion repo?
It's not a tinfoil hat theory, it has far reaching repercution for freedom of access, freedom of speech, freedom of the press. At this point it's not about the kids but more about the bigger picture.

This is just crazy.
I downloaded the runit xfce,lxqt and mate versions.
After total install of the lxqt I out there is no way to connect my external hds or usb sticks.
Same for the xfce version. No external drives possible.
Mind I have only 1 option left, which is the Mate version.
Fortunatly the mate version works like charm,so absolutely recommend the mate version.
I do not recommend kde cause kde will go for systemd like gnome did.
I do however recommend installing yay thru git.
Installing nvidia is super easy. I do not remember exactly anymore, but it is as easy as sudo pacman -S nvidia or yay -S nvidia.
Just the one that works. Good Luck. I give a 10 to mate runit.

J'ai découvert Artix Linux que j'ai installé avec "Plasma-kde" et "dinit".
J'ai dû bricoler pour installer "Yay" pour avoir la prise en charge des dépots "Aur" qui sont nécessaires pour moi car j'en ai besoin pour la prise en charge de ma carte graphique Nvidia GT710 pour un peu de gaming et mon imprimante Brother qui sont obsolète.
Le driver "Aur" propriétaire de ma carte Nvidia GT710 à 2 gb de vram n'est malheureusement pas pris en charge avec Artix Linux.
Le driver "Nouveau" s'est grandement amélioré mais il est juste convenable pour un usage internet / bureautique et regarder des vidéos.
Malgré le wiki d'Artix Linux que j'ai trouvé très fourni mais trop technique pour l'utilisateur lambda je n'ai pas trouvé de solutions pour faire fonctionner ma gpu Nvidia avec le driver propriétaire...
Comme j'utilise régulièrement Steam je vais devoir trouver une autre distribution...

Really good distribution, it works great. The only issue I can see is that all the development is done by one person. The maintainer seems to be a very welcoming and helpful person, but he doesn't have access to many different machines and hardware such as older nvidia graphics cards.
I have experienced some minor issues: one issue that persists to today forces me to enter the kwallet password at every login, not doing so prevents my system from connecting to the wifi as it fails to use the saved wifi password.
I recommend this distribution. More stable than fedora kde edition in my experience.

My older machines work very well with Sparky 8.2 everything works and it is the one distro that recognizes all my hardware (I have tried quite a few, Mint, Zorin, Peppermint, Bodhi, etc...), I also like that I can install any D.E. that I want (some D.E.'s run better on some machines and some not at all) it also includes mk-usb download among various other software that I like to run plus icons , themes etc.. I will be trying to install Sparky on a older Intel Macbook air in a week or two, we will see how that goes and maybe I will give an update. There are a lot of good linux distros out there and I think this is one of them, oh and they have an ARM version you can run on Raspberry Pi or other SBC. --- I did dock one point for the long password issue.

I have no need for installing antiX on older and low spec machines now.
FunOS used ~263 MB idle RAM in my tests (htop in uxterm), with the added benefit of flatpak support (not enabled by default), Ubuntu repositories & HWE kernel, flatpak support and systemd integration.
Adding flatpak does increase idle memory usage to 280-330MB which is an acceptable tradeoff considering the availability of up-to-date and sandboxed apps.
Things it can improve on:
- Save desktop resolution on user change.
- Set up Flathub by default, preferably the FLOSS subset.
- Alternatively, let the user decide on first run and choose between default, Flathub FLOSS and Flathub unfiltered.
- Option for automatic upgrades to system and software.
- Option for managing apps using an app store like Bazaar.
- Simpler and easier way to do major upgrades. Currently, it requires manually running a script from Github to apply FunOS customizations - this should be handled automatically.
- Theme the JWM UI to look more modern.
- Community forum/channel to garnish support and potentially get other contributors. Right now, there's only the website comments and Sourceforge forums. A Fluxer Community would be ideal as it's more usable than Matrix in my experience.
- There's also not much information about the project maintainer(s) and bus factor. Based on the early comment replies, it the (solo?) maintainer is Bustami Arifin presumably from Indonesia.

CachyOS is the closest it has ever been to a perfect Linux distro compared to any other. I've tried using vanilla Arch before, but I had some problems with it regarding NVIDIA drivers. This did not happen here.
Pros:
+ Super easy to install (after all, it has Calamares) and use, especially for beginners.
+ Stable despite being Arch-based.
+ Great community support and documentation (the Arch Wiki also helps with this).
+ Similar FPS in games like RDR2 and GTA5 as Windows, while being open-source.
+ Installer offers flexible choices for bootloaders, DEs/WMs, and additional options like printer and scanner support.
+ Great support for Intel and NVIDIA components.
+ Optimized kernel for performance and security, including sched-ext, which increased my FPS by 50+ in Minecraft.
Cons:
- Has unnecessary packages that an average Linux user won't need post-installation (for example, Plymouth, which makes the boot splash prettier, but it isn't something I necessarily need).
- systemd (some people are not bothered by this, but I am).
As shown here, there are many more pros than cons for this distro, but there are still cons. If Cachy had an option for picking init systems other than systemd and specifically selecting which packages to install and not install, both straight from the ISO, this would be, in my opinion, the best Linux distro that exists. If it's not possible to add an option for init systems, they could at least provide ISOs bundled with different init systems, like Artix does.

I have installed Q4OS on a number of unsusual targets in addition to standard PCs. Most recently, I put it on an old Macbook Air (A1466), and the only things that didn't work out of the box were the camera and wifi card. No problem, a quick Google search supplied me with the necessary command line fixes and I was up and running everything in a few minutes. Ths unit has a Core i5, 8GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD. It was in perfect physical condition, and you can't tell it from a new one except for one thing...the Apple logo on the lid LIGHTS UP!
I picked up about 17 old Chromebooks for $100 at the same pawn shop and 10 were circa 2012-2015 HP and Lenovo models. Q4OS is ideal for those, because it allows you to select a "base" install right from the setup, which minimizes the drive space used. These Chromebooks only came with 16GB SSDs, so space was at a premium. From there, I added a few applications that would be important, leaving about 7GB free. Pop in an 8GB SD card and you've got yourself a really nice little netbook. Plus, you've got the power and flexibility of Plasma, rather thab settling for a barebones desktop environment like some of those lightweight distros package. By the way, everything worked out of the box, just like any other PC, once I overwrote the Chromebook firmware with the MrChromebook.tech firmware utility.
Naturally, I have tried Q4OS on some more powerful laptops with more memory. My favorite is a `10 year-old Dell Inspiron 15 5559. with a 6th gen Core i5. I replaced the hard drive with a 500GB SSD and boosted the RAM from 8 to 16GB. Wow! what a great little machine for under $175, including a new battery and a power brick! Oh, and a case and mouse, too!
So, where am I going with this? IMHO Q4OS is a well put together Plasma DE distro that can be used as a solution for a number of problems. These days, most distros end up being pretty much the same, so there are really no surprises here. One real plus is the choice Q4 gives you as to what type of installation you want during setup. And even if you take the more extensive installation, you don't end up with a lot of apps you will want to install later. There is full support for Flatpak, and other common package installers. There's even a quick app installer available from the Welcome! window that streamlines the installation of some of the favorite apps users will want. Q4OS is probably a good choice for someone moving from Windows to Linux or even Mac, although, as I pointed out, a new user might need some help if the command line comes into play.

I switched from Cachy after systemd's birthDate update. The main reasons I picked Void were: 1. its init system, runit; and 2. its independence and custom package manager, XBPS.
I found the installation difficult, especially for beginners, due to the number of tweaks I had to do after using void-installer. However, because of this, not only did I learn more about my Linux system (even if it took me a few days to properly install it without breaking the whole thing), but I also found that it had little to no bloat. Only essential packages.
Runit boots faster than systemd. From what I noticed, Void was using less RAM and CPU than Cachy or Arch, even when running the same Flatpak packages, and its EFI partition was less than a MB.
XBPS doesn't download in parallel unlike pacman, but it was still fast and only took a few extra milliseconds.
There are not many options for mirrors close to where I live, but this isn't a huge problem if you're in Europe or North America.
Despite being a rolling release, it is really stable, and not once have I had a problem with a package breaking.
The Wiki was easy to understand but lacks a lot of entries. Because of that, I had to look elsewhere for some configs I had to do with PipeWire.
In the end, if you want a systemd-less, stable, rolling-release, and independent Linux distro, then Void is for you.

I bought a new PC during December of last year, and I made the decision to install this distribution onto it.
As someone who in the past has used Windows 7 and Windows 10 for a significant portion of his life, I can promise you that in terms of UI and even especially UX, you will not feel dissatisfied, in fact, I can envision and assume that transition to Fluff Linux would feel almost seamless for most people, including those who are Windows users. It is such a simple Linux distro, that you do not need to be a huge Linux nerd to know how to navigate.
Before making this transition, I remember I was initially anticipating myself to have a handful of issues regarding gaming on this operating system. To my surprise, I have come to a point during the couple of months spent with this operating system that I can barely (if at all) recall if I had any issues!
In addition, the only "issue" I can state is that modding games in this OS has a different workaround, when you consider the difference in file navigation between Windows and Linux. You could consider that "an issue" at first, but largely it is a matter of getting used to a new environment if you are fresh out of Windows. You can compare this to moving to a new apartment.
Speaking of UI and file navigation earlier, I can tell you that using Fluff Linux is very simple and (from my assumption as someone who didn't have his hands on many Linux distros) is very forgiving. Unlike in Windows and other Linux distributions, there is no bloatware, ads/news or widgets being shoved into your face.
To further strengthen my last point - besides the user experience, I also have to mention how fun, easy, and widely varying it is to customize the UI. I have almost everything fitted out to my personal aesthetic tastes (global themes, system fonts, cursor, app icons, and even login screen, etc.) and every widget and every app that I have installed was no one and nobody else's but my own doing. In Fluff Linux, what you put in, is what you get.
If you are someone from Windows who would transition and miss Office tools, I can tell that LibreOffice took care of me just fine. Every tool I have used in LibreOffice literally feels like a carbon copy of its Office 365 equivalent.
To conclude, I'll put things largely in perspective and say that this distribution has addressed all of my initial worries before I made my transition, and I have gotten quite settled and comfortable in it. Some of you would say that I am exaggerating, but I genuinely think that this operating system is the perfect balance of all things, be it existing in an office computer or your own personal machine.
Get this if you are a Windows refugee and is seeking something that isn't going to mentally destroy you.
