While this system is extremely fast and works well on lower-end issues, there are two problems I had with this system.
1) The GRUB bootloader did not display a typical black screen and instead displayed a headache-inducing flashing background. I re-installed the system twice and always ran into this issue.
2) This project is NOT OPEN SOURCE! It's pointless to install an OS designed for privacy without being able to check out what the OS is actually doing.
While this OS is completely viable as a daily driver the closed-source nature of the OS means you should probably be wary of doing anything where you would need to be anonymous. I'd recommend Tails or Linux Kodachi.
it was a surprise for me, a very fast operating system, simple, easy , the installation of the programs was without problems ........ you should definitely try it......the only thing that may be needed is the installation to be done with "calamares" , the installation is reminiscent of bygone eras ......i give 10 ,
great work Septor team......!!!!
Honestly; Thist is the best Linux-System i ever have used.
I Used for years Linux Mint Ubuntu and LMDE4 LMDE5, also Astra-Linux. Those was my dily use for years. I treid out many Distros by usung a Ventoy-USB, so i tried maybe 100 Distros or more.
Septor is what i was searching for, it has a very usefull and good programms, just made for working, just usefull. Some i didnt know before, so i learned to know now.
The installer even recognize th 2 network-cards in my MSI-GT70 and ask me which one to use, also it recognize my old Win7 installation which was also bootable after installation.
The KRunner would be awesome to have the Option that it stay fixed on the desktop-screen.
I would prefer the "XnView MP" Picture Viewer because of its fast option to zoom and crop pictures. This was the only software as the Yandex-Browser i needet to install too.
Pity the Yandex-Browser wasnt support. It worked but it didnt was able to get all mulitmedia-codecs, so i cant play videos in it.
The Boot-Menü screen was not shown a clear picture, but that dont matter me.
All in all, i thought i really found a system which i fall in love to use...i really like it at all, but its good for a Live-System, for daily work the internet-connection is to slow, i know this is the price of real sucity but its just too slow.
I read its ably to change the internet-connection for a normal use, but it dont was switchable...i tried it.
I would like to use this system for a normal use with real Yandex-Browser-Support (multimediacodecs). Than i would use this system for sure on all of my PC-Systems.
I hope the Developer will release a normal version in future too, as a option to use this Linux-System just because of its clear beauty and intuitive user-friendly work-flow.
Thanks. Its still 10 of 10 but pity that i cant use it as a normal system + Yandex-Browser for the internet. :-/ Im not downgrading my Internet-browser to the 90s back...even Mozilla, Chrome, Opera arent that intuitive like Yandex-Browser. You just need to shut down everything in the options of the Brwoser, than its really good.
