2022-03-05 | HardenedBSD | 13-build-322 | 9 | 9 | The HardenedBSD project has corrected a lot of its shortcomings in the last few months to ease the user experience, I can only recommend to test and use it again. I especially like the fact that the ports are more up-to-date than freebsd. In terms of security, the ASLR of HardenedBSD is particularly robust and the high... |
2023-07-12 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.03 | 9 | 2 | This distro is very sadly under rated. I have been an Arch Linux user for the past 5 years and the only other distro that I have ever switched to is Debian, until now. OpenMandriva is now my main operating system it is very agile and everything that I have thrown at it works. I gave it only a 9 rating because in the et... |
2023-07-07 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.03 | 10 | 5 | I to use Mandriva back in the old days but after trying their non-rolling version I decided to try the rolling version and its a great experience. Uses Calamares to install which went pretty quickly and you have a decent amount of apps at first boot. Falkon and Chromium are the two browsers, with LibreOffice already in... |
2023-04-07 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.03 | 8 | 8 | First I have to say I did not have any issues installing the distro. I have read that some had blank screens and crashes I did not. There were some small isssues that I had to resolve myself like printing and Latte not all apps icons stayed put. Getting past these small issues Open Mandriva Lx is very fast and it is ve... |
2023-03-08 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 8 | I had to choose the version as 23.01, but the latest version of Rome is 23.03. I have been using Openmandriva since it was born, after having used Mandriva and Mandrake for a long time. Over the past 3 years it has become my main distro. I am very satisfied with Openmandriva: it is fast, stable and complete. No problem... |
2023-01-30 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 20 | Unlike the reviewer in DW Weekly, I can't find any instability in this rolling release. It works flawlessly. No crashes during installation, no X11 crashes, no Plasma crashes even with full graphical effects. It includes everything a normal user will need, and it's all working and the components go well together. No we... |
2023-01-27 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 9 | 4 | I have been wandering from countless distro to distro, to find a perfect distro. Ubuntu family is always my place to go home, because everything just works without hassle. I was curious about OpenMandriva znver architecture, bacuse I have a ryzen laptop. So I gave it a try and suprisingly, it works very well on my lap... |
2023-01-17 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 3 | As a distro hopper this version impressed with speed(boot up) install, and aesthetically pleasing overall build. Been using about 3+ weeks and all my favorite packages were available and installed and ran perfectly. Still stable after several updates. Installed on high performance nvme in genuine USB 3.2 Ver 2 enclosur... |
2023-01-14 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 8 | Typing this from Open Mandriva Rolling release. This distro deserves top spot, I did have one freeze during installation but a reboot and fresh install sorted that out. Please dont expect everything to be perfect (its a rolling release) and you get the freshest packages to date including kernel. For an rpm distro this ... |
2023-01-13 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 6 | Astonished, Having used Fedora for years, I literally jumped on a whim to OpenMandriva LX (Rome), why, just for a laugh really. I testing out a new Micro-SD card in a fancy adapter and used an OpenMandriva live image for that purpose. It was an independent release, not based on anything, its why I chose it, which is ... |
2023-01-13 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 6 | 0 | There were issues trying to get sshd enabled. It would start on demand, but not enable for automatic system load. Also, network issues happened when changed from DHCP to Fixed IP Address. It is a nice looking distro. The KDE implementation is very nice. I really like that they have put together a rolling release. How... |
2023-01-09 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 1 | 0 | Would love to leave a great review about how wonderful and stable OM is, however after several attempts to install it and having the installer crash it becomes impossible to do. If they seem to have issues with their calamares installer then it brings into question the stability of the system overall. If a person is fa... |
2023-01-07 | OpenMandriva Lx | 23.01 | 10 | 3 | I was skeptical but I tried the ROME - rolling release version and this will probably be my new default system. It works flawlessly and is fast - I think it works more efficiently than Opensuse Tumbleweed. Fresh packages list reminds me Arch but this OpenMandriva is a way more stable than Arch. Really nice distro. Wort... |
2022-11-10 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 9 | 4 | Personally, I'm only interested in five criteria in an operating system: fast and foolproof installation, simple operation, as few updates as possible, acceptable security level, stability. That is the case with OM. The Calamares installer is famous for its simplicity, everything is fast. In the so-called rock branch, ... |
2022-10-12 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 10 | 3 | After many years and many Linux distros, I must say how brilliant OpenMandriva is! It's been around for a while so why is something so good not getting more attention? The stable Rock version works well on a 14 year old laptop. What you get is a professional distro that's well featured out of the box, simple to use wi... |
2022-09-05 | OpenMandriva Lx | 5.0-candidate | 10 | 6 | Tried OpenMandriva 5.0 ROME silver candidate primarily out of curiosity, to see what happened to the very first Linux distribution I tried back in the late 1990s. I was very positively surprised - while all the things that made Mandriva good back in its day (very easy to use, but without giving up the flexibility an ad... |
2022-07-29 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 2 | 2 | This experience is about openmandriva Lx 4.3. installed this OS just to see how Mandrake OS has evolved. OS performance was smooth and brought back Mandriva memories. Pros: boot loader,login screen,wallpaper,taskbar overall theme is very beautiful. Open Mandriva Control center, provides option to configure settings ver... |
2022-07-27 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 10 | 3 | I installed by accident OpenMandriva on my laptop. Fedora / Open Suse was supposed to work but I had an issue with my usb key. I've been using it daily since one week and it's working great. Astonished by the performance, I won't go back to xfce. As someone said earlier, OM is an underrated distro. If you stick to the ... |
2022-07-18 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 10 | 3 | By far the best distro I've ever tried (and I've tried many). Whoever said "KDE" and "fast" don't go together should take a look at this distro to see how it's done right. KDE on OpenMandriva feels as snappy as some of the lightweight desktops on other distros. Even on my trusty old laptop from 2012. The community arou... |
2022-04-15 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 10 | 6 | When I was using this distro, I switched my repos to the the rolling branch. It was done pretty easily with a gui tool and upgrading through the terminal. Openmandriva is heavily underrated. Its a solid distro that seems to need more manpower with how their repos and packages are managed. When I was using it, Kate in ... |
2022-02-24 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 9 | 2 | OpenMandriva 4.3 is a surprisingly nice distro! Everything works very well right out of the box. The installation was blazingly fast, and the Plasma 5 setup is very nice. I used "dnf" from the terminal to update, remove, and install software, and that happened very quickly and flawlessly. It's also refreshing that the ... |
2022-02-15 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 10 | 1 | I haven´t used OpenMandriva until now - I have to say that I am very pleased with it. Thanks to the Calamares installer the installation is very fast and easy. My software needs are fulfilled, good flatpak support if needed. The OS is also easy to use and I really like the possibility to change from a rock solid fixed ... |
2022-02-10 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 8 | 0 | Up until now I have been using Linux Mint, which just works. I had, however, been looking for a distro using Plasma that wouldn't break when updating (as Manjaro tends to do) and that doesn't irritate me in as Neon does when updating. I discovered Mandriva Lx4.3 thanks to Distrowatch and installed it on an Intel machin... |
2022-02-07 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3 | 1 | 4 | Installation stops with error message: Leider wurde das Program kded5 unerwartet beendet. kded5 PID: 1396 Signal: Segmantation fault Tried installation from two different ISO-Files (from different locations), same error message |
2022-01-29 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2 | 5 | 0 | I tried it briefly in Virtualbox. It installed OK but slowly and is slow when running as a live distro. Things improved when I installed it but Plasma is not my cup of tea. I just can't get on with it so struggled to get anything meaningful done. I don't know why OM sticks to Plasma as there are alternatives out th... |
2021-09-13 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3-rc | 10 | 0 | Much more intuitive to use than Ubuntu. Also feels a lot snappier, even on fairly low end hardware. |
2021-09-12 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.3-rc | 10 | 0 | Much more intuitive to use than Ubuntu. Also feels a lot snappier, even on fairly low end hardware. |
2021-08-05 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2 | 1 | 9 | I started out on Mandrake way back when. I think it is sad that most of the Mandrake forks have vanished over the years. There are only a few left now. I love Mandrake's technology and innovations, but the open source continuance has issues, namely in KDE Plasma. It is so resource heavy that it installed without a ... |
2021-03-17 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2 | 3 | 3 | Installation into VirtualBox went without a hitch, but it doesn't auto mount the shared folder. The first thing that one gets to see on desktop is the word “official” on the wallpaper, that does not align to anything. Worse, it's Win Vista style doesn't match the rest, which is “flat” design. Welcome page is hard-coded... |
2021-03-14 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2 | 10 | 0 | The only thing that has kept me off OpenMandriva Lx before was the lack of support for ARM hardware - really glad to see that's fixed in 4.2! Now happily using OpenMandriva Lx on my Pinebook Pro and Rock Pi 4C. I'll also put it on my x86 desktop the next time I reinstall the OS - it's much more Plasma friendly, quite a... |
2021-02-17 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2 | 10 | 0 | Not tested everything, but installed without problems on a i5 desktop (not GPT) in its own partition alongside other op.systems. I got immediate support for something very little to my added hardware from the forum: very nice. Downloaded various additional packets "ready" from the welcome window without problems (ple... |
2021-01-06 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2-rc | 10 | 1 | For testing I installed into VirtualBox (8Gb ram/6 cores/VboxSVGA) which went without a hitch. The default theme is very pleasant and easily changed to several presets which include Win7/Win10/Mac/Ubuntu which all add to the overall appeal. An excellent selection of ready-to-go apps are preinstalled allowing immediate ... |
2021-01-04 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.1 | 10 | 0 | Openmandriva is quite complicated for the first time, when get the hang of things, its quite very high performance and robust operating system. |
2021-01-02 | OpenMandriva Lx | 4.2-rc | 10 | 1 | Been using various flavors of Linux since 1998 and OpenMandriva 4.2-rc is the most up-to-date and polished distro I've ever tried. The installation was easy and all hardware on three systems (so far) has worked out-of-the-box. The OpenMandriva customizations of KDE Plasma are pleasing and functional. Take time to check... |
2023-01-03 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.28 | 9 | 3 | Bedrock linux allows multiple Linux distributions together without a need of VM or a Multi-boot environments. You can have different distributions installed and run a program from a certain distro from within currently booted ditribution without need of VM. I really liked the concept as I need CentOS as my primary syst... |
2022-01-05 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.24 | 10 | 16 | Bedrock Linux allows you to use various Linux distros. I use Void Linux with Arch. This finally got me to stop distro hopping. I am able to use Void Linux with Arch's packages and AUR. Using Void and Arch's packages allows me to have a lightweight system with the best of both distros. Pros: Bedrock does not add any o... |
2021-08-25 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.22 | 10 | 1 | Amazing! Simply one of the cooler distros you can use. |
2021-07-21 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.21 | 10 | 2 | Really cool thing! Been using it for a week now with arch/void/debian, works great! Hope this becomes more popular |
2021-07-14 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.20 | 10 | 2 | Really nice. After this thing i stopped distro jumping. Pretty stable and easy to install. |
2021-05-19 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.20 | 9 | 3 | One distribution to rule them all! Finally stop distrohopping and try bedrock linux... |
2021-02-01 | Bedrock Linux | 0.7.19 | 10 | 5 | Where has this been hiding. I cna't believe how superb this is. I have Mint/Alpine/Gentoo machines and now have another with all those and Void working in harmony. Just works and allows me to update them all simultaneously. |
2023-06-29 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 5 | 1 | Very slow to install and desktop sluggish at times once up and running. Slow to install packages, but that's Apt for you. Some kernel errors just after post which I've never encountered before on this laptop with any other Linux distributions. Chromium seems to be the default web browser. I removed it and installed Fir... |
2023-06-08 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 5 | 2 | If you have enought time and patince to wait installer to finish, then the system could be fair enough. However I faced some glitches here and there. It falls short in speed compared to other Ubuntu based Xfce desktops. Somehow I feel filesystems to be quite slow but did not do investigation on root cause. It's strange... |
2023-06-04 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 10 | 1 | It's a great distro for old PCs and notebooks: simple and works fine! The bootload is fast. I try this distro in an old notebook (Aspire E1-571 with 8GB Ram) and works fine and stable for developing with Node.js and React.js. Others test that I have done was with Zorin OS Lite, but the Linux Lite works better. The UI i... |
2023-05-13 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 10 | 9 | I received a Lenovo S340 laptop with defected ram and ssd. I attempted to install Windows 10 and 11 on it and got blue screens and boot loops at different points during the installations. Next, tried Zorin and Elementary. Installed successfully. Both were usable but hung up on daily basis. Then I tried Fedora and Linux... |
2023-05-06 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 10 | 8 | Linux Lite is a lightweight and user-friendly operating system based on Ubuntu that can run on low-end hardware. After testing it on your laptop, here is my review of Linux Lite. Firstly, the installation process was straightforward and fast. The system requirements are very low, and it runs smoothly on your laptop. Th... |
2023-04-06 | Linux Lite | 6.4 | 5 | 3 | Downloaded the new Xfce version 6.4 as of April 5, 2023. The Chrome browser , gives errors when using simple searches within web page on some web sites, uninstalling Chrome in Synaptic and reinstall and reboot did not fix issue, thus I will move to next distribution, as an FYI been around Linux for over 20 years, my... |
2023-03-09 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 10 | 1 | For the last few years I have been trying to switch to Linux for ideological reasons. I have done a bit of distro-hopping, to be honest every distro I tried seemed slower than Windows and buggy (Ubuntu, Mint were slow, Manjaro had way too many problems with my ten years old Lenovo Thinkpad, MX flickered for some reaso... |
2023-02-25 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 8 | 0 | Firstly all the following whining aside,It' s good once installed . ...But on my old Toshiba 650D installation is....well, turgid. I don't know why it's so slow installing from the live-usb. 4gb of ram is not inconsequential after all....and it's the same on a lLenovo T540P. Perhaps it's because I am installing a dual ... |
2023-02-22 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 10 | 0 | Have used Linux religiously since windows xp. Have used Linux Lite a few times on various hardware. My Thinkpad T420 went awol so ended up with a 16 year old gateway laptop with 2GB ram, intel centrino duo and its still blazing quick and very useable. An SSD makes a massive difference but still usuable on an old spinni... |
2023-02-05 | Linux Lite | 4.8 | 10 | 0 | I have worked on version3.2 to 4.4 with full update to 4.8, and have good stability, fast on Corei5 an corei7, on HP desktop, Laptop and All in One ThinkCenter. Wanted to upgrade up to the new version, but all above 4.8 have issue on istall process, consume lot off resurce, bad stability, and vorst off all is 6.2. Sorr... |
2023-02-04 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 6 | 6 | We have been testing a few distros out for a new incubator startup. We have a good selection of donated equipment for us to repurpose for the various new companies that we will be hosting. After deciding on a totally free Linux tier, we started with the installs. Linux Lite was by far the fastest of them all. But, ther... |
2023-02-03 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 9 | 0 | User-friendly, this distro is perfect to help windows users integrate into the linux world. It is necessary for the user to start learning some terminal commands. It is lightweight. I use the distro for some minor emulation (gameboy advanced games) and a server on an old ideapad. Great operating system for old laptops!... |
2023-01-05 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 8 | 7 | I must state first, that I am NOT any kind of an expert on OS's. I have just played with a few. This seems to be a very lean OS. It installs very quickly, because it only installs what they consider the basics. For example, it doe snot include Libre Office , nor could I find how to get Libre Office. As a long time user... |
2022-11-12 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 10 | 2 | Very nice and easy distro I've been using it since its first release and I've been a huge fan of it. I am waiting for your updates and new releases with impatience and I expect a lot from you I wish they had their own software center like Ubuntu I also wish to add desktop interfaces like GNOME and KDE I also hope that ... |
2022-11-11 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 10 | 2 | I like very few Xfce distributions. The only other Xfce distributions that I have used and liked have been Manjaro's Xfce and MX Linux Xfce. Manjaro does an excellent job making Xfce look good and be very functional with one package manager that is superb. It's the best rolling release Xfce for me. MX Linux on the othe... |
2022-11-10 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 9 | 10 | Light, fast, robust, efficient, safe. Very easy to use. A polished diamond, expertly, no doubt. My congratulations and thanks to the entire Linux Lite team. A jewel. If you think about leaving the heavy burden of Windows, you are hesitating to switch to GNU/Linux, my recommendation, try Linux Lite 64bits, on a separate... |
2022-11-06 | Linux Lite | 6.2 | 4 | 0 | Due to a extreme long boot time, even after having installed it in Virtual Box, there are plenty of bugs related to german translation or that u are unable to update with the correct password not to be recognised by the updater. Apart from that, in the Live Session the X-Randr System crashes multible times after having... |
2022-10-23 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 4 | 11 | Linux Lite is a good distro all around, however unless you are a native English speaker I just can't recommend it to most people comming from Windows or not While the menus have been translated more than previous versions, there is still a huge amount of "spanglish" in the menus and even in the welcome screen, where mo... |
2022-10-19 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 16 | I have been using linux lite as my daily for 8 months since Windows frustrated me into the ground with their system breaking updates and the speed. Gosh, how slow can an OS be? I dabled into other distros. They worked but linux lite was just perfect for me. Two of the pcs in my home now have linux lite. It is smooth, q... |
2022-10-04 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 19 | I've used at least a dozen distros over the past dozen years (so I'm not a beginner) but returned to LinuxLite as I have never had any issues with it, as I have with some others. I've used Lite on seven or eight different computers and it always performs well. it is easy to use, very fast, and includes most everything ... |
2022-10-01 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 9 | 11 | Perhaps the most underrated distro for "newbies" and beginners, Linux Lite names applications for their functions ("File Manager" instead of "Thunar," for example - excellent for beginners who wouldn't know that Thunar is a file manager and not Thor's hammer), has super-simple point-and-click GUI for cleaning, updating... |
2022-09-26 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 13 | I downloaded it to run some VMs to study, after a lof of bugs with windows 11, but, after some days i'm using it as my daily. Stable, fast e deal well with new hardware. I didnt find any problems yet, used it for hours with chrome, virtual box(4 VMs at same time and with multiple virtual networks). I changed some cust... |
2022-09-08 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 7 | 32 | I tried this version of Lite some days ago and found that it worked very well. I had tried another fork version of Ubuntu 22.04lts. But it did not go well for some of my Laptop PCs of rather old type. I cound not finish the installation of the distro there. Here installation is very easy. You can consult even a help do... |
2022-08-25 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 1 | I have nothing against Google Chrome, it is an excellent browser, wants total privacy?: TURN OFF THE MODEM AND BE HAPPY!!! For me, it's not necessarily a problem, because I have nothing me ashamed web browsing. Linux Lite has always been able to provide out-of-the-box the best features, so given its origins: Ubuntu,... |
2022-08-10 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 8 | 1 | Here the same. Linux lite my favourite distro, but dissapointed with that Google Chrome as current browser. Linux lite shouldn't just follow Ubuntu,but doing their own thing.I hope they consider to bring Firefox back again on board in next LL6.2 and not just as a snap app. Ici le même. Linux lite ma distribution préfé... |
2022-08-10 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 6 | 24 | Linux Lite has been a favorite distro of mine for a while. Mint is main driver however, so it's been a little while since I used Lite. I decided instead of updating my old install of Lite I would just do a clean install. Sadly, to my surprise, Lite now comes with spyware installed in the form of what is the worst possi... |
2022-07-17 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 9 | 8 | My mum has an old Acer extenza 5620z with SSD. I've tried Zorin Lite and then Linux Lite in the same day. Linux Lite is much faster ! However there is no "App store" like in Zorin Lite. And there is a small bug with language/region installation. Even if I selected the correct language and region, at the end of the inst... |
2022-07-04 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 2 | Uso Linux Lite desde la versión 4.6, pero antes ya la habia utilizado algunas versiones, instale la versión 6.0, simplemente perfecta, me siento muy comodo en Linux Lite. Gracias por todo lo que hacen los desarrolladores I use Linux Lite since version 4.6 and installed version 6.0, simplely perfect, I feel very comfort... |
2022-07-02 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 6 | I’ve been distro testing since last November, have settled on this one as the best Linux for me and my older PC, Zorin being a close 2nd. Everything about this distro fits me like a glove. Runs perfectly on my older thinkpads. Install detects everything, and even my printer was recognized without having to manually i... |
2022-06-20 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 8 | 5 | I've installed Linux Lite 5.8 64 Bit on a MacBook from 2007 with 3 GB of RAM and 64 MB of GPU memory and I am pleasently surprised as to how smoothly it runs on this old machine. Thanks to Matt Gadient, who tweaked the ISO to bypass Apple's artificial barrier to prevent the laptop from booting 64 bit ISO's, I am now a... |
2022-06-16 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 3 | 7 | Just suffered through my fist look at Lite 6.0 and.... well.. it looks nice, BUT, it took FOREVER to launch, on a reasonably fast system (10600k i5, 32gb Nvidia 3060ti). It was so slow I thought it must have crashed. Once it loaded the slowness carried on with opening apps and making adjustments like slogging through m... |
2022-06-06 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 1 | 17 | I have used, and liked, Linux Lite for ten years. Not my daily driver but in my top five favourites. Lite 6.0 has just changed that. I had problems with the download, having quite a number of attempts on three different laptops before I managed to load it successfully. Pros. It looks good, and I do like xfce. Cons... |
2022-06-01 | Linux Lite | 6.0 | 10 | 2 | Have been using Linux Lite 5 series from 2020.Best distros for Windows (which is their target audience). I usually don't like XFCE but they make it look so attractive. I just can't understand why it's so underrated.Much better than Linux Mint and MX Linux. Just upgraded to 6.0 and it's flawless too. Using it for more ... |
2022-05-11 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 8 | 9 | I started using Linux Lite in 2020 (v4.8 and soon 5.0). It allowed me to use again an out of date computer and for this purpose, it was really great. Then, I start using 5.6 and 5.8, installed on another computer. To sum up is great, a good compromise lightweight-functionality, it's user friendly enough for user who ca... |
2022-04-29 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 1 | Ive tried over 10 distros over the past 5 years, linux lite is the fastest most reliable and easy to use of any distro I have tried, Im running it now on a 12 year old lenova desktop with a 2 core 1.65GHZ processor and 4GB of ram....a very very low end PC from 2010 and it runs plenty fast enough for me!. linux lite is... |
2022-04-02 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 2 | En castellano, (español). Es imposible dejar de comentar :D Así de bueno es. Ligero, rápido, robusto, eficiente seguro. Muy fácil de usar. Un diamante pulido, por expertos, sin duda. Mis felicitaciones y agradecimiento a todo el equipo de Linux Lite. Una joya. Si piensas en dejar la pesada carga de Windows, estás dudan... |
2022-04-01 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 1 | 5 | I tried the latest 5.8 and everything seemed to be slow and buggy. The developers have still not fixed the printer installation for brother brand printers. I spent over an hour trying to set it up and never got anything but "cups error". No problem for me on Mint or many other distros with some even picking up the pri... |
2022-03-31 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 14 | Been playing with GNU Linux for about 20 years. Wanted to leave my reliance on Microsoft since 98se. Was way over done when 7 came out and not going to pay them for anything after that. So I tried Red Hat, Fedora, all 468.3 flavors of Ubuntu and too many other distros. Then to nothing but Linux Lite for years now! {doi... |
2022-03-09 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 1 | 4 | Linux Lite default kernel is 5.6 which doesn't support newer hardware/graphics like AMD Vega series IGPU. I have a 4k monitor and it is not detected, there is only one resolution, FHD and refresh rate is also incorrect. I tried installing newer kernel but got errors trying to compile and I couldn't find solutions in th... |
2022-03-08 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 2 | Brilliant distro, I just wish that the annoying login sound was not included as default, but a quick google, and it was gone. It is my go to distro, just wish they could include more wifi drivers so less faff setting up wifi on certain network cards on a new install. Otherwise this is a great distro, and HP printer see... |
2022-03-08 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 2 | This distro is a real gem. I have tried all distros out there including mint, POP OS, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Solus but none meets the user friendliness and liteness of this distro. It's reall strange why the distro is so less popular. Thanks to all devs who made this possible. Perfect fi you are coming from WIndows. Pros Fe... |
2022-03-06 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 9 | 3 | For a long time, I wanted to switch from MX Linux because it ran somewhat slow on my laptop. (My laptop includes a dual-core AMD A6-9225 with Radeon R4 that has a little lower end specs.) So far, I can say that I'm very pleased with this Linux distribution. I'm mostly praising Lite for its easy to navigate interface an... |
2022-03-05 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 10 | 1 | It has better support for High DPI. When I go to Window Manager > Style > change it to Default-xhdpi to make everything look bigger on my large high DPI display, this works correctly on Linux Lite. All the window borders scale correctly. Even the lock screen shows everything bigger. I tried this on MX Linux, Linux Min... |
2022-02-25 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 9 | 5 | I'm fairly new to Linux and I've tried a few other more popular/big name distos. This is definitely a lite distro. Tried a few other's that were supposed to be lite however many of them still have lots of background processes. In my case I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB RAM version. It ran so slow to a point where it was... |

2022-02-06 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 7 | 0 | Linux Lite is Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop. On an old HP mini 110 netbook with 2 GB memory it does not recognize the Ethernet interface correctly, like most other distributions with kernel 5.x don't. Installation takes forever on such older hardware when updates during installation are selected. For example LMDE still ... |
2022-02-05 | Linux Lite | 5.8 | 9 | 0 | This ubuntu based distro has never failed to disappoint, installs easily, and is a sleek and snappy distro. My go to ubuntu-based distro now, and I have used a lot, but I understand it is all down to personal preference. When they have realtek wifi support built into the kernel like zorin os, then it would definitely b... |

2023-07-07 | mAid | 4.1 | 1 | 0 | It has a Calamares installer. If you want to create a Swap partition fails. it works if you choose not to create a Swap partition, but after rebooting it stucks in plymouth. There are two metapackages in their custom repo: maid-desktop-light amd maid-desktop-full . These metapackages are a complete nonsense. It makes n... |
2023-06-02 | mAid | 4.0 | 9 | 21 | A great idea - with room for improvements. I use it to backup my LG phones but also to have an always working adb connection with me wherever I go (I flashed mAid to an USB stick permanently which is supported now with v4). the open list of feature request lemme hope there is more to come, ideally I would really love i... |
2023-04-26 | mAid | 4.0 | 8 | 22 | Perfect for managing Samsung smartphones. All drivers are installed and ODIN could also be used after downloading Java runtime environment. I used the distro temporarly by booting on an USB stick. Fast and clean for my purpose. |
2022-12-25 | mAid | 4.0 | 5 | 0 | Loaded this up as a VM just to see what it's like. Immediately attempted to install Chromium, which worked. What didn't work, however, was running Chromium. Nice desktop and interface but instant uninstall, GG. |
2021-12-14 | Kwort Linux | 4.3.5 | 10 | 0 | Download link doesn't work. I've searched the internet and cannot find anything. I guess it's a dead distro. |
2021-06-18 | Untangle NG Firewall | 16.2.0 | 4 | 6 | My quest for perfect firewall goes on. I already tried several ones: 1. openwrt - not enough functionality 2. pfSense - tons of functionality but broken network stack, I could only get 4GB on 10G connection. 3. Untangle - seemed perfect at the beginning, after that I have discovered bridge does not transmit broadcasts... |
2023-05-22 | Nitrux | 20221101 | 4 | 0 | Nice distro... sleek, beautifully designed with aesthetic lines. Responsive and ready to use. Only the NX software center offers a very limited .appimage packages. Very hard indeed to convert a deb ( the same file Debian uses and ironically on which it derives directly ) file to this distribution format I might try Bl... |
2023-04-06 | Nitrux | d5c7cdff | 10 | 0 | Nitrux 2.7.1 Nitrux does not try to copy other distributions. He is different. It is original and its own. The visual appeal of this desktop is exceptional. It stands above other distros when it comes to aesthetics and beauty. Nitrux is a Linux desktop distribution based on Debian. It uses the Calamares installer and i... |
2023-03-09 | Nitrux | d5c7cdff | 4 | 2 | It looks good and has some interesting tweaks made on it , the terminal is called station and has no apt package manager installed, it has an app called NX Software center and an option to download an app image called APP outlet that supposedly helps you install from snap and flathub, if only that was the case, it does... |

Dataset Creation
Source Data
DistroWatch is a website dedicated to talking about, reviewing and keeping up to date with open source operating systems. This site particularly focuses on Linux distributions and flavours of BSD, though other open source operating systems are sometimes discussed. There is a lot of information out there on Linux distributions and this site tries to collect and present that information in a consistent manner to make it easier to locate.
Data Collection and Processing
- A list of target Linux distributions was selected from the DistroWatch popularity page.
- For each distribution, review data was retrieved from the URL pattern:
https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=ratings&distro={distro}
This endpoint lists user-submitted reviews and metadata for each distribution.
Each request retrieves up to 50 of the most recent reviews per distribution. To expand coverage, data was extracted at two distinct time points:
- August 4, 2023
- April 6, 2025
These snapshots were combined to form the current version of the dataset.
There is no additional filtering or normalization applied to the review text apart from the removel of leading and trailing whitespaces. Metadata is preserved as-is, and all reviews are included regardless of length or rating.
Who are the source data producers?
The source data is created by anonymous users of DistroWatch. These users voluntarily submit reviews and ratings for Linux distributions. No demographic or identity information is associated with these reviews, and the contributors are not verified.
Personal and Sensitive Information
The dataset does not appear to contain personal or sensitive information such as names, addresses, or other identifiable data. All reviews are posted anonymously on DistroWatch.
That said, user-generated text content can sometimes inadvertently contain personal opinions, political views, or other sensitive remarks. No additional anonymization techniques were applied beyond what is already present on the source website.
