It installed cleanly after trying it out live and has been very quickly configured to how I want it. I have all the main programs I want installed and all the ones I don't removed, with one minor exception. Up and running in 3 hours of painless tinkering. A bright, clean, fuss-free desktop. A possible rival to MX and Mint when more people get to know about it, I think. Icing on the cake would be a desktop/icons like Garuda's, but that isn't important. :) Was this review helpful?

The attention to detail is very good: from login screen to icons, everything reminds of win 7. The default apps are cool: * for devs: "insomnia" is the coolest replacement for postman dbeaver & vscodium are nice too * for audio/video: ardour audacity vlc * for drawing blender drawio so 10 of 10 for effort but the project still needs work. 1st of all it doesn't support keyboards layouts: so if you add 2-3 keyboard layouts, there is no way to switch to them, cause 1) the keyboard combination which is set in XFCE settings, simply doesn't work: tried "win+space", "left alt + left shift", "right ctrl + right shift" NOTHING WORKS (even after restart 2) there is no keyboard layout item for xfce panel, so there is no way to switch to another layout using mouse. 3) there are no other layout switching apps installed. SO the only option is to use a single default layout, which is inconvenient. 2nd is that the distro doesn't care about fn key and controls accessible with it. the biggest problem is dimming the brightness of laptop screen. since xfce doesn't have controls for that, and there are no other tools for that installed, there is no way to decrease screen brightness from ui, it sucks also sound controls don't work, decrease/increase of sound is possible only from UI. other than those 2 problems the distro is fantastic for those win 7 nostalgic people Was this review helpful?

The distro looks VERY clean and smooth, has a footprint of only 470MB and has all the software I need for a desktop installation on a dated laptop -- plus is obviously has VirtualBox guest additions since I can resize and full-screen the window without needing to reset it's desktop settings. XFCE is setup just the way I like it, it’s very snappy – windows pop up very fast for running in live mode -- and I really like Thunar's theme as well as it is clean ans easy to see. From a newbie/user/distrohopper who has tried quite a few distros (which may or may not be a good thing…) I have to say that this is the one I will be using at the next reformat.
