I really love the clean GUI and the helpful community in Discord. I just really think it needs more developers. Yesterday I switched back to Omarchy because the whole system broke because of QuickShell (I'm using sleex), and when I tried to install it for the first time, it broke, but the install issue has been fixed! I love the refreshing view and overall the built-in ai that they have in the dashboard is so awesome. If they hired more developers and just stopped adding feautures and started fixing old ones it would for sure be a great addition to the linux community.

Some minor bugs here and there (such as not showing the bluetooth icon in the menu, but it works from the settings). First impression after a couple of hours is that no other distro, and i've seen lots of distros as a distro-hopper myself, and by far, this is the most impressive one so far. Also this is the only wayland based distro/environment that works with Nvidia as prime renderer OOB, which is a big like (wayland in gnome/kde/DDE/cosmic etc. works only with nvidia offload, so no direct rendering). Either way, it's very smooth and the AI bar integration is far the best (on par with UOS UI from deepin, even if not that feature rich, i like this one more). I'm offering 10/10 mostly because of the Nvidia perk that this distro has, and UI friendliness towards offering a friendly, futuristic, eye pleasing UI. Version: 25.08 Rating: 2 Date: 2025-08-10 Votes: 8 The whole thing seems a little sketchy to me. From missing licenses and source code to the limited developers behind it and one obscure supporter. A lot of this weird vibe comes from the Calla desktop which is missing any form of license and lacks all source code bar a couple of scripts and a binary. I was using it in a VM and once I was done with having sketchy vibes I had a look at some of the project's repos and cam across a VM detection project. I sounds mostly fine but also added to the bad vibe I already had. Especially with the ability to detect a VM built into it, it opens the door to ideas of bootkits, rootkits and VM escape malware. It's pretty on the outside but I can't shake the feeling that it's something more sinister on the inside and something to look out for. - vaelixd See all 7 reader reviews of AxOS...
