Well i have used too much distro. So what about Nutyx, fast package manager and fresh rolling release distro. Although sometimes it may lack of some packages. It's still good. The package manager "CARDS" is one of the best. Multiple init system support is perfect, sysv , runit and systemd. Developers are caring about you. This distro is unlisted in Flatpak supported distros but it has good flatpak support. You install it with curses-like screen(i mean distro). This distro works faster compared to a lot of linux distro. Documantations are good. It have a lot of kde cinnamon base etc. isos.

First review in nine months but here goes: Before installation it's recommended to set up the disk to install to: ESP, main partition and "swap" at minimum. Impressed with the no-nonsense function: basically it makes like it's copying the ISO contents to the target partition, then it asks where to place the bootloader. It cannot recognize UUID's; I think this is something the maintainers should consider. Especially if you like booting off external USB disks you will have to at least edit "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" and "/etc/fstab".
At first I installed XFCE but it had a problem with registering Wifi modem password, which forced me to install KDE Plasma version. This KDE comes without the ability to disable the compositor and a few other annoyances but it's the latest matching Arch-based and other rolling-release distros. KWallet could be buggy; I had to fight with it to get Internet. Sometimes after the system shows SDDM log-in screen it flashes briefly when the user enters the first figure of his/her password. After session start KWrite could open claiming to be maximized but takes up like half the screen; either that or without the window frame and titlebar. I also have EndeavourOS, Freespire, Kubuntu, Manjaro, NeptuneOS, Q4OS and Spiral with the same exact D.E. (some of them older though and too many LOL) which I've never seen that misbehavior. IMHO the Debian-based distros I listed just run this bloatware D.E. faster and better than whatever has the latest release of Plasma. Nutyx KDE cannot even start faster. That's why I wished I had it with XFCE instead.
On a Saturday after I saw on this site that there was the 23.01 update, I wound up spending the good part of an hour breaking and starting "cards" on the terminal and fighting with my slow Internet connection. Chiefly it updated the Linux kernel to v6.1.9, Firefox, a bunch of KDE stuff, "cards" and "nutyx" themselves, "systemd" and "llvm" which might not even be used, and more.
I advise against using FLCards GUI program -- too stiff for people used to slick interfaces. "cards" program needs a "verbose" mode for some things like synching with the repository server(s). "fuse2" is needed to run AppImages; it is not provided. Now I'm not sure but it has Flatpak library pre-included. However if you venture to uninistall Plasma Discover it takes down the Flatpak library and other things (including "fuse2") which is irritating because if then you ask it to put back Flatpak it puts back those other things *except* Discover.
The main developer is around the forum which is otherwise kind of sparse; the site is not for paranoid people that must visit only "https"-marked places. This is important when you want to create an account, because eg. Firefox could keep warning while an user enters his/her password and then waits for e-mail confirmation to be able to post on the forum. As it's said on this site's page for Nutyx, this system requires at least intermediate knowledge of Linux and a fast Internet connection. There is no "multilib", you'll have to handle it yourself if you want Wine or something else that requires 32-bit mode. One advantage I have a burning desire to utilize is its ability to operate within another Linux system, chiefly to increase Nutyx the distro's available packages.

C'est un bon OS.Nécessite une certaine expérience des distributions linux.
Je suis dans le monde linux depuis décembre 2020, j'aime bien bidouiller et je cherche à apprendre à utiliser la ligne de commande.Donc il vaut mieux commencer par des OS classiques type Linux Mint très orienté débutant.Il faut chercher à y apprendre le fonctionnement de la ligne de commande.
Nutyx est solide et très peu gourmande en ressource,Je la trouve mieux à ce niveau que Void Linux.Je les ai tous les deux avec Mate et au démarrage il y a à peu près 350M de RAM utilisée avec un peu moins pour Nutyx.Par contre Nutyx manque de paquets, en particulier pour changer l'apparence des applications, en l'occurrence qt5ct ou kvantum.
Je le conseille sans hésiter aux personnes curieuses qui n'ont pas peur de faire des efforts pour chercher à le dompter.

Pretty good distro, flexible, reliable and functional i don't have a lot to say about it. Otherwise the team is cool and it's possible to talk with them. All the packages i need are included in the repositories and flatpak is available with you need additional things. Then, on nutyx, you have the choice between init systems. Actually, systemd and sysvinit are provided and sysvinit is the default one. You can modify it reading the doc. Even if the website is not really attractive, the distro is amazing by it's simplicity. The nutyx's package manager called cards is powerfull, fast and easy to use with the aliases which are setup by default : get for sudo cards install, del for sudo cards remove ! As simple as that !

Excellent, quick setup and simple, incredible fastest to install linux distro i know. Very well designed distro, the only flaw is the difficulty installing on very recent hardware; this distribution is not made for new Gnu Linux users but rather for intermediates, otherwise I have nothing else to complain about. If you want a distro that's a bit geeky but not too geeky, that's very fast and convenient, maintained by a nice little French team and not by a big company like Canonical, Red Hat, etc...you can go !

Don't stop at the appearance of the website, there is a real gem hidden here. Feel very like Crux, plus binaries packages. It may not be a distro for everyone but if you want to learn GNU/Linux it is a really good entry point, and a pleasure to use for advanced users. The repositories are intentionally not that big, you can miss something or not. But build your own packages couldn't be simpler! Very fast to install with almost major DE ready to use. And a base install available to make whatever you want. Three init to choose from between sysvinit, systemd and runyx (home brewed runit). It is moreover easy to produce your own ISO... so what more could you ask for?

First attempt to install this failed/froze. Having got it installed, I've found little to dislike about it except maybe the package manager which lacks much that is available via others. I am left with a question though... why? I accept I might well be missing the point of this distribution, but to me it feels like a bit of a hobby project.

+ still alive, even if they first said that they will shutdown the project as of November 2021
+ Simple, fast KISS distro
+ multiple init systems
+ independent
+ rolling distro
- installation process could be improved
- cards is a simple and fast package manager but it is way too simple and it lacks on many options compared to other package managers like apt, zypper, dnf and even urpm
- very small repository
Seems to be a more or less a one man project and I like it,- even if it could improve.

I have a positive global impression of NuTyX. This is not for the lambda user yet though. No install with a graphical desktop worked for me, I had to install the base version and then add the desktop packages after. I have an Nvidia graphic board (GeForce GT 710) that caused a lot of problems, and was never able to use Gnome, nor KDE with Wayland. KDE with x11 works fine and is very fluid and fast. I found cards, the packages manager quite easy to use. I did appreciate the possibility of installing a set of packages in one command (e.g. cards install devel to install all the packages required for development - and more).
The fact that NuTyX comes as a rolling release is a plus for me (I could not test it though). Upgrading Debian has always been a challenge for me.
Overall I give it a 7/10, mostly for the installation process, which, compared to Pop!_os, for instance, is night and day.
Keep up the good work, for now, I stick to Pop!_os but will definitely keep an eye on it (also because I'm french ;-)

Excellent desktop variety, excellent package manager, and Stable as a rock, NuTyX is a Distribution that is quite literally for everyone. There are live images with preinstalled desktop environments and an FLTK frontend for the Cards package manager (a fork of CRUX's PRTutils, which also needs a mention), there are minimal images with an Ncurses installer and almost no packages, and you can even download the installer script seperately and install it from within your own distribution! And, you can choose between stable releases and a rolling-release mode that is actually pretty stable, too! The only time I ever broke it was when I accidentally removed a ton of packages when I typed the wrong command. The documentation is pretty good, too. It's not Slackware-level documentation (trust me, Slackware's documentation is better than even the Arch wiki), but it's pretty good. And, the notion of "collections" allows you to install multiple desktops without interference. In fact, the whole system is modular, so when you uninstall a package, you don't lose a bunch of nessecary packages because they're bundled with the package that's getting uninstalled. Great work, NuTyX team! You really have something great going on here! Easy10/10!
