Thank you for the review DT! Been a fan of your content for a very long time and I'm very happy that you liked the distro :)

We need stability at gui level, less bugs, more device drivers, more apps... No more distros, for god's sake

It uses Arch, btw

"absolutely proprietary" Stallman disapproves

Lost me at 'proprietary'

A Propeitory Web browser should be good looking at least. This looks awful

Let's reinvent the wheel for the 264th time!

Do you actually "step away and grab a cup of coffee" each time, or has this just become a slogan like "strong and complicated password -- click click" :D

There's no obvious separation between open source and proprietary. (unless they've used separate repos -- I haven't looked for that)

I love Gnome, but the latest trend of not giving you the name of their apps, not even in the about section, looks ridiculous to me and I wish they changed it.

I cant find content about Zram use as swap in your channel

I use Arch btw

How much did these guys pay DT, there is no way that now hes promoting useless distros filled with proprietary software.

on the file selection dialog from gnome when you were selecting wallpaper, there was an icon at the bottom called "+ Other Locations", this defaults to root directory.

Wow, this looks bad

Less than a minute in, I'm already triggered by the fact that they have a commercial brand on their very homepage though. I can already smell proprietary shit and weird partnerships coming...

What icon pack does it use? I really like the look of it

When i saw Your review i got that i was waiting for your review and for review of THIS linux. Wallpaper parts one of most fascinating!

19:45 "The root file system" It's the link at the bottom of the list ("other locations", with the + in front of it), you moused over it a few times but missed it.

what dock panel is being used here?

Funny choice of programs. Like using a qt based octopi on gnome instead of gtk based pamac.

Everyone says Libray Office, not so, it's more like Librer, it just means free , as in not tied up ,in French, if an object is free, then it is gratuit (gratwee)

Personally I think in installer autologin should be enabled by default if you choose disk encryption and disabled otherwise, this could make sense.

DT! The "log in without a password" isn't unsafe. You just always skip the encrypt system checkbox. If you were to enable encryption, then you would enter the password to decrypt upon boot, and would not want to have a 2nd password screen before entering the desktop. I have all of my machines encrypted with log in automatically checked.

In some ways the Swirl browser looks slightly like the Sleipnir browser.

Lets review Gnome for the 200th time

So basically, a useless distro..... That literally brings nothing to the table minus, a proprietary web browser.

I absolutely love and appreciate the open source aspect of Linux, the freedom that is built-in to the whole concept, etc. But really, instead of creating yet another distro, am wondering what would happen if some of the distro creators would come together and start improving the existing top 10 (just a number I picked) distros and the top 30 everyday use applications (mail, chat, calendar, office, image and video editing, etc.). Make them rock-solid in terms of looks, performance, stability, features, customizability, etc. Don't want to prevent anyone from being creative and not telling anyone how to spend their time, but I bet the results would be outstanding. I am no Linux expert. But I have tried Fedora, Mint, Suse, etc. and landed as KDE Neon as my daily notebook driver. Also use a Mac mini M1 for my desktop needs. Could not load Zorin and didn't try Arch. Just a thought. Thanks for the review, DT. 😀

I like Octopi- it is kind of like a QT version of Pamac.

camera = snapshot

first kaspersky now now a distro with 2 proprietary components, did AI take over DT?

thanks a lot DT, but as a newbie i still not find a solving problem fro it

You did a system update, not a software update, so LibreOffice wasn't the most up to date software. To get the name of a program in a GUI, right-click it and do Properties?

ma perchè octopi che è qt su ambiente gnome, che è gtk, sarebbe stato preferibile pamac

One of the best features is hiding the names of the programs you are running. Then locking you into you home directory. The disappearing wallpaper was hilarious. I'll stick to a real distro. Nice vid DT.

Debian, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat/Fedora is the vanilla Linux experience. 99% of the rest is based on those. Then there are the little guys like Nix and Void.

Why do kodi only work on ubuntu based distros ???

Would this be good for beginners, or is this more advanced? I'm having a hard time deciding on a distro and desktop environment.

We need stability distribution with many new apps in repo arch is bad for this

Pretty rough around the edges. After installing in a VM (Gnome Boxes) Neither Discover or Octopi will open. My tolerance for frustration - is to low to risk this on bare metal. Really Really dumb boot music.

I prefer using only main distros like debian arch etc. After some point (when i get more experience about linux )other distros lost their meanings to me. Probably there are good ones but i dont care actually.

Checked out after I heard proprietary and gnome

why use it? It's proprietary, so it can be malware

19:40 Other Locations 🙄

DT, why have you never used the youtube payed subscription option? It makes it easier for at least me to support you. I've been a huge fan of your videos since I started my life in the linux ecosystem. Although I have never been able to use Vim and Emacs because so far I just feel slow and lost as I learn them. But aside from that. I've learned a lot from your content.

It's GNOME, they think their users are too dumb to know what their actual programs are called so they only refer to them with descriptive generic names. The solution is to not use their trash desktop environment and to instead use one whose developers don't choose to insult your intelligence. The desktop itself is so dumbed down, I honestly don't know how people can stand to use it, and if they do, how they can use it without feeling insulted by it.

Hi, can I have the password of the live session?

It's arch with gnome. Boring....

Arch based Distro = Just use arch. I dont get why people keep trying to shove a square peg into a round hole with Archlinux. If you can make excuses for why you cant be bothered, then its not for you lol

If only all those that create nww distros devoted their very skilled time to get linux better, we could be using flying cars nowadays

Yo, #HeyDT, maybe I missed it, but if you haven't yet looked at it, I've been SUPER impressed with the lastest version of TuxedoOS. The combination of being based on Ubuntu LTS and having more up-to-date software (like Plasma 6) is really cool.

What is the point of this distro? It's just a minimal arch ISO with their crappy browser built-in, which by the looks is insufficient for most use-cases so you'll just end up installing Firefox anyway. You can release your software without tying it to a distro that you won't bother maintaining in 12 month's time! it's okay!!!!

have been working on the beginnings of almost exactly the same project....down to purpose built language with a built in luaJIT. there's always something else already out there no matter how exotic the thing you imagine is! Looks like he is asking for licensing fees to use Blue tho, which will probably prevent anyone from using it due to limited compatibility. My idea is still better imo, to provide a FOSS multiplexing compositor-interpreter powerful enough to build the entire rest of the UI out of: window manager, terminal, browser, and editor, all in the same moddable runtime.

You say a dark theme is easier on the eyes, not for everyone! If I'm using a dark theme/site, I see spots and stripes within 10 minutes. Longer than 20 minutes: migraine.

Yay, yet another distro... 😫

isn't the browser Ladybird..?

I really dislike this new distro but I dislike your comment thread even worse. This is the nice professional version of my comment.

Thats totally users fault, if users dont have distor hop, addicted to try out new distro, developers wont make new distros.

Arch? Ohh come on man..

You know what has always puzzled me is that as advocates for free and open source software we are still privacy consumers as well but if an entity is proprietary (wanting privacy as well) then we automatically think the worst of that company when they are simply wanting privacy as well down to the source code level. No different than us not wanting to be tracked or monitored in a way. I can see how that would be possibly dangerous but no more than stepping outside and touching grass. People can have privacy but entity's cant? Anyways, fruit for thought.

Ummm... Gnome was good once. KDE shits all over it now.

You lost me at proprietary. No I don't want to try that.

As someone new to Linux stuff, Gnome bugs me to no end. It's somehow both cluttered AND overly minimalist. Can someone explain to me what's the big draw of it?

Wayland is not a display server its a protocol DT !!!

48th!

I say that Endeavor OS and Cachy OS are the best Arch based distroa ever created

The web browser UI is awful

last

Another pointless one.

another useless spin of main arch.

Not sure why u spend so much time talking about the installer and other basic stuff

Too bad it's not debian based

Hey /g/ang. Here to watch daddy with me? 👉👈
