From that point on I installed Awesome and Openbox and both worked well, then I went on in familiarizing myself with the new 66 tool system. This is fun. I can start and stop services and see their status simply and easily. I have never been able to do this with any system, it all now makes sense. As far a X64 platforms go there is not much you can NOT do with this system. This is like walking in a swamp or quick sand and finally stepping into solid ground. Obarun is it for me, no more distro hopping. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 2018.10 Rating: 10 Date: 2019-04-11 Votes: 15 I used the last version of JWM 042019 and it worked flawlessly. This was an install for a friend wanting to learn more Linux than his Ubuntu has allowed her. I have been using Obarun daily for 3 years now and even though I try pretty much anything linux based without systemd, I wouldn't replace Obarun for anything. The init-service-mngmt beats runit, openrc, sysvinit, by FAR!! From that point on you are free to use arch and any arch based repository to construct your own custom system. Knowing that with s6/66 and a good kernel your system will always boot up and give you a tty, anything you try can be undone the same way it was done. Using pacman's ability to install any package to a different root environment, you can remove the init of any other linux system, then install s6 and 66 on top of that system. Debian, Void, are just a few I have tried. This system is a little known gem that will eventually bring a tsunami of changes to the industry. Was this review helpful?

And if this trio of good reasons are not already enough, a helpful community with a dedicated and communicative lead developer. Obarun has been my best Linux desktop experience so far. Recommended (in my opinion) also for beginner users when they make sure to browse the provided how-to's on the wiki and forums (e.g. how to partition a harddisk for the installation procedure, how to add AUR repository, etc.).
