 Installed it yesterday on a virtual machine first. Lots of error during installation on both ext4 and btrfs file system. Downloaded a fresh ISO again and have not looked back since. Went from Zorin OS to Reborn on my Lenovo Thinkpad immediately after using it on the virtual machine for a day. It was finally down to between Cachy OS or Reborn OS. Both were similar in GNOME experience. App management in Reborn is better. Runs fast and efficiently. Will keep it as my daily driver. Finally on a Arch based distro which I have wanted to do for a long time. Reborn comes with the latest firmware and GNOME 47. All that made me choose a very under-rated distro.

 Latest release is: 2024.03.21. After testing Endeavour, Arco, Manjaro, Catchy, Garuda, and Reborn; I can say that Reborn is an excellent distro. It is well worth your time.
First is the offline minimal install or online full install. Both work well. If you used Arco's online install you know it can be daunting with the number of choices. Reborn full install is a trimmed down version. Much less intimidating. The important option of using a zen-kernel is there. So is most options you would likely want.
Running the distro after install also goes smoothly. I've tried the xfce, gnome, and cinnamon desktops.
In the near future,I hope Distrowatch will update the site with the latest release info.
Finally congratulations to RebornOS developers on a well thought out Arch distro.

 Distro hopped a lot these past few weeks, fedora, opensuse tumbleweed, manjaro, kubuntu, mx linux, endeavour, pop_os; So far, I am pretty happy with Reborn's xfce. It just works with steam, codecs....Fire is kinda different but I like it.

Anyways, worth a shot....was one of the few Distros' so far where Elden Ring didn't have issues initializing, the controller worked on steam integrated games without having to install things like gamescope, and it hasn't crashed within the first 30 min like the others.
