It deserves to become more international, but work seems to be underway in that direction. Still a young distribution but already promising, it’s built on a source-based foundation which, in twelve years of existence, had not yet produced any notable derivatives. GLF is thus its first successful “offspring,” adopting the excellent principles of Nix. The community team behind it shows a real commitment to stability, security, coherence, and thoughtful decision-making. Far from the temptation to integrate every new feature at all costs, they carefully evaluate each improvement and are not afraid to roll back unpopular changes. Yet, they don’t miss major developments in the open-source world—CPU schedulers, Wayland, Proton, zram, btrfs, Mesa, HDR, Flatpak, PipeWire, and so on. Although it still lacks some maturity, it has now become a distribution to watch closely for all Linux gaming enthusiasts. Was this review helpful?

NixOS based so pretty fast and stable, easy and fast KDE/Gnome switching. DaVinci Resolve works well and adding flatpack software works well. I am truly amazed by the quality of this young distro. The documentation is in progress and translated from French to English, but it remains brief and to be completed. Well done guyZ ! Was this review helpful?

Updates are automatic and, being based on NixOS, it's very stable, and it's easy to revert to a previous version if you encounter a problem. I'm currently testing it out by setting up a server, as I like the idea of security and its operation (NixOS secures each application in an isolated environment, for example). Finally, the ability to switch from GNOME to KDE in two clicks for testing is a huge plus, and the GLF Studio version is great for OBS streaming, video editing with DaVinci Resolve, etc. Streamdeck compatible since the latest version. If you fall into any of the aforementioned categories, go ahead and try it! Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 19 reader reviews of GLF OS...
