 I’ve been using it for three months now and it’s completely replaced my old distro. Honestly, it’s gorgeous, well-built, and has everything a YouTuber like me actually needs it was such a nice surprise. A quick heads up on the NVIDIA drivers: as recommended, you should use their own tool for the install since the RT kernel can be a bit finicky. That said, it’s literally a one-click fix and their tool handles everything perfectly. Highly recommended, it feels like a real premium experience. I’m definitely planning to upgrade to the commercial version with support soon. Top notch.

 Look and feels like premium. Throughout the years I have experienced many distros but I gotta say this is the most polished and stable so far. I came from MX Linux and Elementary before that and since I've installed it on my 10yo Acer laptop with 12gigs of ram, I have not once had an issue for the last year.
What strikes me most is how the UI manages to be visually stunning without sacrificing system resources; even on older hardware, the animations are fluid and the workflow is intuitive. It breathes new life into aging machines. I couldn't recommend it enough so kudos to the devs and keep up the great work!

 I’ve been using it for audio and video production for six months now, and just like I expected, it’s rock solid and bug free. Honestly, it’s got that same Debian Stable vibe but without any of the headaches. I think it’s easily the best and most useful thing out there compared to the sea of random distros just thrown together. The tutorials are super clear and well-structured, especially with the AI-powered multi-language support. Plus, the documentation is actually thorough and gives you everything you need. I really wish there were more projects like this less hype and flashy headlines, and more actual substance. It’s a legit, solid project for anyone who doesn’t want to waste months on research and tweaking configurations.
