To be honest, I expected more after a year, but everything is still in place. There is no nvidia support out of the box, and you will not be able to assemble the driver yourself without crutches, keep this in mind. You have only 2 options: use the noveau driver or open source modules that will cost you half the performance of the proprietary Nvidia drivers. The developers explain this situation by saying that they all use Intel and AMD, and apparently there will be no support for nvidia and dkms modules in the repo either in the summer or this year. The responsiveness and smoothness of KDE is terrible, sometimes it's smooth, but after a second it twitches and feels heavy. I can't say that about other DEs for now. In general, my verdict is as follows. If you own an Nvidia card and like KDE, you don't need this, as you'll have to do too much work yourself due to the laziness of the developers in that issue. I like the project and would really like to stay here, but due to the terrible user experience and lack of Nvidia support, I am disappointed that I cannot do so.

I always tested all distros out there. İt is my hobby . It is my first choice to use it. Why because it is very well made. I can write lot of things but no need for this. They well it done.

A few notable bugs are preventing me from making it my daily diver, but that's expected at this stage. The idea of automatic updates when I no longer care about the system sounds very appealing. It's not immutable and much simpler than nixos in usability. Been testing it from early March 25 and I see how much it has evolved already. A "must try" for everybody wanting to see the future of Linux desktop. Well done and keep up the good work devs! See all 17 reader reviews of AerynOS...
