Works great on older hardware. I run it on intel atom netbook with 1GB of RAM and it runs better that any other distro that i have tried. Fully functional and featured and very reliable. Only small issue is that it's Debian based so sometimes you can't get the latest and best packages, You have the MX software centre but it's bit of a pain having to using synaptic and MX software installer.

I've been using Void musl build for the last two years and my system never broke.
Installed from the base image and running awesome wm, my wm of choice.
Everything works! Sound, video, bluetooth, wifi, you name it.
Now, Void is what it is and you do have set-up almost everything yourself. Runit does what it's supposed to do and what you tell it to do. Services are not enabled by default and unnecessary packages are not installed by default.
All these things are, imho, just positive. Yet, I read people complaining in here?!
Void is not for everybody, it doesn't hold your hand. If you don't like it you can always go back to the systemd crap and let it handle all the stuff for you, but please don't bash.

Recently installed this, my most recent encounter with Suse, given that I was fiddling with them years ago too. Back when I went over the border to Washington state to buy (yes . . .) a copy of early Suse in a box, when you got a little metal Suse badge for your computer, or car, . . .
And I've done Leap 42.x since.
This Leap 15 installed without issue on my 2009 Lenovo Thinkpad T500, Intel T9600 processor, 8 GB RAM.
And it's great - it's just working flawlessly so far. These are early days, but it boots fully in about 100 seconds, and everything is running very nicely and as fast as this older hardware can manage, which is very acceptable as my second machine.
The package management is great, and Gnome is an old friend, looking forward to switching to KDE/Plasma next. No lack of applications in the standard release, so far.
Back to learning more Linux on this very stable and reasonably fast distro; given that OpenSuse doesn't call itself a light install, I'd say that this is certainly working faster than I thought it would.

On the whole, it's been a pleasant experience. The desktop environment feels clean and refined. The settings exposed to the user are lacking, and the third-party "Tweaks" switchboard plug-in is a must-have for basic customization. Sure, it's not as fleshed out feature-wise as the more established distros, but what's there is fast, fluid, and familiar.
Upon first boot, elementary had my 4K HiDPI display running with 2x scaling for GTK applications, which looked *great*. Out of the box, Qt applications were using a less refined scaling mode similar to that used by Windows XP: text-based elements rendered at appropriate sizes, but images were too small. Setting QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 at boot fixed that, and now Qt apps scale uniformly. I also needed to install some packages and tweak some environment variables before I could get Qt apps to use the GTK style. I'm surprised that a distro so heavily inspired by macOS didn't spend more time on UI consistency.
The console was effectively unusable due to the tiny font sizes; I had to move my face within a few inches of the screen to read the grub menu. Some quick searching was all I needed to switch to a larger console font, but updating grub was a bit more involved. I'd like to see this taken care of automatically in future releases.
I have heard other users complain about theme-related issues with other GNOME/GTK applications. I haven't encountered anything egregious, but these days I mostly stick to Firefox, various JetBrains IDEs (not based on GTK), and the terminal. Speaking of, the terminal app could certainly use more settings. At least with Elementary Tweaks it was easy to change the default font size, though it could probably be done through the dconf editor.
8/10 for a slick experience, but a ways to go before hitting 10/10.

This is my second trial of Sparky, my first time with a different version was not acceptable.
This version was easy to install and ran the update after installation, it did take a while. Installed Mate and I am using Mate . Adequate number of pre-installed software but I like to install my own.
I wish they would give the option to partition the hard drive to locate Documents, Photos, etc in the other partition.
So far it is working with out the hardware conflicts of the previous version I tried. It recognized a HP and Epson printer attached and installed the drivers. It recognized a Brother Ptouch printer but I have not been able to install drivers for it yet.
Overall I am pleased and will continue using it.

Out of curiosity I have done what a user suggested on 2018-10-21th. I installed Ubuntu 16.04.5, disabled a few services on a Laptop with only 1.8GB RAM, installed a few new packages on this low end hardware. The result is astonishing. Pretty low RAM usage, a quiet CPU and a robust, full featured OS, very responsive. Personally speaking, I have no problems with Unity; this is a desktop that is a true workhorse and serves me very well all my needs as a power user for office tasks. To be honest, I am happy with this setup and I enjoy it. Support until April 2021 makes me feel even better. Matured software, secure and well maintained. Nothing left to say.

Decided to try this distro on an old Mini-ITX computer I use as my desktop. I wasn't expecting great results as previous distros didn't offer any advantage in terms of speed, mixed with looks and functionality. So I figured why not give Voyager a chance... And I have to say i was pleasantly surprised. For whatever reason my old underpowered PC feels great. I feel like I'm flying around while browsing. Everything just works without any hiccups and It makes for a great looking desktop! I liked it so much I stopped looking for another distro. I feel like I'll stick with this one a while now.
I think I may even put it on an old Zotac ZBOX and see how it goes. Sorry LinuxMint but you may have some competition now.

Void is my second distro, switched from Xubuntu after a few of my friends recommended it. I didn't know much about Linux when I switched so I disagree with others saying it's comparable to Arch in terms of difficulty, it's just as minimalist, but the install process is much easier. Runit boots much faster than systemd and does most things very well, and XBPS is very fast.
It's important to note that depending on the ISO you get there's going to be no sound, and no NetworkManager either, you have to manually configure wifi using wpa_supplicant. If you do a minimal install there's basically no services installed. Last I checked you have to reinstall your DE if you don't pick a local install. Some of the reviews complain about these issues as if something is not working correctly but they should check if they did in fact have an audio server installed.
The repositories are small compared to like debian and rhel, that's expected, but if you want something packaged you can just open an issue on github and they will usually add it pretty quickly.
I've been using it for about 6 months now. The only issue I had was an update that created a dependency hell that lasted a 2 days and prevented me from updating my system during that time, but it's fixed.
I would recommend Void if you are looking for a minimal distro but not quite comfortable with installing Arch by following the wiki; if you dislike systemd for whatever reason and wanna try a new init system; if you are a fan of the BSD userland; or if you are just interested in void cause you are a nerd who likes niche distros or something
Thanks tala and ren for getting me to install it

Very impressed with the latest release, install Lxde and then configured Openbox to run only with a Wm. Install Oblogout and added to the menu and works perfectly OOTB.
Pros: Installation was very much straightforward, installed with UEFI. Used Openbox configs from another distro and all worked including compton and conky. No problem with installing themes, icons of my choice.
Cons: I'm in a discovery mode ATM, but really think VOID is quite stable, rock solid and lightweight distro. Everything just works so difficult to say anything negative.
Recommend anyone to take VOID for a test drive, enjoy a systemd-free distro with runit!

WattOS is a distro that I discovered a few years back, simple, lean and amazingly fast. It was with Debian only then and has since returned to Ubuntu which is fine with me. Not a bloated distro, simplicity to the next level.
Pros: Like the theme, sort of catches the attention of a first time user, very nice and quite suited. Everything works out the box OOTB and very stable. Easy to install without issues and beautiful reboot into low ram usage 170mb on my laptop!
Cons: Not any, been on my laptop for years and zero issues!
Highly recommend WattOS, did think it was a bit better with just Debian!

Just tried this new live version with the xfce desktop. It was quick and very responsive. The one problem that I did not like was that there is no sound. After some digging I found at this url, https://vm1.a-lej-de.m.voidlinux.org/docs/, a void manual that suggest in para 3.6, that sound needs to be installed after the os is installed on your system. If this is correct I believe the Void OS team has made a major oversight. Although not a difficult fix, it is not one that should be necessary. But if their intent is to give the user a choice of what to install, it should be mentioned in the 'download' page just like they do with the user name and password. A 'BE AWARE' note.

I have been a Linux user since switching to Ubuntu in 2006. Since then I have used many different distros. But, over time, many of the Ubuntu based distros are getting more and more unstable. And I couldn't get any of them to work well at all, on my Mother-in-Law's Old Toshiba Laptop. None of them would shut down correctly, etc. So, I had been watching the progress of the Solus project for some time. But, the lack of software in their repository kept me from making the plunge. However, I looked again, and realized that the repository had grown very quickly. So, I installed Solus Mate 3.999 on my Mother-in-Law's Toshiba, and it worked like magic. The computer even restarted properly. Which had not worked well for years, on other distros. It is clean, efficient, and responsive. Since it it is a fresh start from a Linux base, without all the baggage and bulk up that many other distros have to carry. Plus, I like that there is a single repository, that is well curated and secured. I can see myself migrating my other computers over to it in the future. Congrats to the Solus team, and only good wishes for the future. Will look forward to when you open back up to financial donations, so we can help support this great project. Keep up the good work:)

The best Debian based distro, I have used so far! Don't intend on using others anymore.
-Simple, sensibly pretty without glassy shiny win look as some other distros do to atract
-very fast (even claimed to be midweight), modest iso download size,
-concentrated just on XFCE (most simple, stable and established DE) instead of wasting resources on satisfying undecided DE-hopers (if there is ever tux Apocalypse to come, it will be called segmentation)
-having own extremely useful tools for any thinkable purpose
-suitable for use as a persistent liveusb
-friendly and helpful forum
-many other pros I couldn't remember
Cons: none

I use Fedora 29, X86_64 with MATE Desktop on an HP 99480m (intel I5 CPU, w/16GB RAM)
Upgraded from Fedora 28, it was fast (relatively) seamless.
I have used it since it was released (almost).
Since many updates, but it is very impressive : very fast, stable.
The rpmfusion repos for Fedora 29 is excellent.

So far, Fedora 29, seems to be a great release, perhaps the best Fedora I have seen in recent times.
So I am a bit surprised with the negative reviews, this may be with a different Desktop, perhaps (KDE?)
I have notice all distros are not equal when it comes to Desktop implementation.
My friends usually agree that Fedora MATE is a very good platform.
Consequently, if you post a negative review, could you indicate which configuration ?

Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.6 - (OEL)
The Good:
No need for a license/CSI. You access the Oracle yum repos like any other EL. yum update. Like most distros, OEL has it's own repos for updates. They're free. yum.oracle.com.
4.14 Kernel
GUI or cmd line installer options, seem to be fewer options than I remember CenTOS having, but that's not a bad thing necessarily.
Fast. Noticeably faster on my aging Dell than .deb based distros which ran mainly 4.4/4.9 kernels.
Binary compatibility with RH and Centos.
Fast dead-simple installer.
Stable.
Drivers if you need WiFi.
The Less Good:
Well, it's an 'Enterprise Linux' - this brings the following choices made by the Upstream distro (RH):
systemd
SELinux
Firewall-cmd (you can disable this and run gufw instead if that makes you happier)
Gnome3 - Gnome3 isn't bad, but it's also not a 'must have'. 7.6 sports Gnome 3.28, which is pretty current. Since Gnome3 depends on systemd, I run Gnome3 on my EL installs, since they have systemd anyway. Everywhere else is Xfce or LXDE. Sometimes MATE.
Other:
XFS filesystem by default
Like most EL:
-Need to supplement packages with EPEL/RPMFusion/pkgs.org and/or others.
-Some packages can be a bit older even using extra repos. As with CenTOS, avoid the temptation to install Fedora packages. Stick with OEL and EPEL. If you want a bleeding edge EL, run Fedora instead.
No 7.6 isos available - just get a 7.5 iso from the links above and 'yum update' to 7.6.
This will take some time if you're over a slow link.
A good EL distro. If you don't want to wait on CenTOS to update, and don't want to pay for RH, give OEL a shot.

I have used Linux exclusively for nearly 20 years and have tried most popular distributions. I loved the user experience of Gnome 2 and have continued to use distro's that provide this concurrent application functionality ever since Gnome dev's diverged to embrace "convergence" with Gnome 3. The best of these concurrent desktops is provided by the very stable Xubuntu, which is backed by the solid engineering of parent Ubuntu. Unfortunately, Ubuntu MATE is relatively unstable as its dev's are converting to GTK+ 3 and I've found other alternatives like Cinnamon to be unusable for daily production. It's unfortunate that Xubuntu doesn't enjoy better awareness and higher deployment rates.

Long time Mint user, I have tried reluctantly Manjaro and wow. Not to say Mint is bad or anything. It is just different.
Love it. Very responsive and behaves the way I think all distros should.
0 lag and depending on your DE flavor the smallest possible idle memory usage. Well,if you don't count Gnome which with 16 Gb of RAM is still lagging but that is a different story :)
Love the package management and the fact that you could virtually install (at your own risk) anything.
The learning curve is not too steep as far as the commands go but there is a huge community and the documentation is abundant.
Downside MAY be that if you're a newbie and aiming to become certified in Linux administration you are better off with the mainstream distros, Ubuntu, Fedora,Debian. But for whoever is looking for a OS/distro replacement for what you are using currently... go for it, it is really good.User-friendly and fast.

Awesome distro for anyone wanting a clean lightweight rolling distro (try the Minimal install of the XFCE edition).
I'm not an expert, so my evaluation may not be thorough enough for Linux developers and programs. Nevertheless, Antergos is seriously the best distro I have tried so far (and I've tried quite a few) on my older laptops.
It's completely un-bloated. I add what I want and that's all. There is nothing I want that that I haven't found in the repositories...so I don't have to use the command line for anything. Plus I always have the latest updates and I never have to re-install. Hallelujah!!!
The installation is simple but it takes a few extra minutes compared to the Debian/Ubuntu derivatives that I've used in the past.
And it just looks really nice.

Great, stable and boring distro. If your distro has ideal hardware (that works perfectly with the open-source drivers that come with Mageia), it's a smooth and comfortable enough experience that I believe it is suitable for beginners. If not you'll, of course, experience the usual hiccups, but alas that is life on Linux.
I like that now DNF (from Fedora) is available for use as its package manager, along with its old package manager, urpmi. urpmi is one of the most irritating package managers I have used in that its syntax isn't intuitive and I find myself often having to look to its man pages and DuckDuckGo searches for help to do simple tasks with it. Despite this DNF and its graphical tools for package management and system configuration are second to none in terms of user-friendliness, stability and functionality.
Its repos aren't huge (not including OpenRA, SageMath and Snap, for example), but thanks to AppImages and Flatpak (which is in its repos) most popular apps you may want are available for it. You can also install Nix (https://nixos.org/nix/) and use it to install certain apps you find aren't available as AppImages and are missing from Mageia and Flatpak's repos. Nix is also helpful for installing apps when you find packages from these other vendors (Mageia repos/Flathub/AppImage devs/etc.) have bugs, as you can install the package with Nix and use it until the bug is fixed.
I haven't had the pleasure of interacting with its community or support forums, but I suspect like most open-source projects its community will be warm, welcoming and friendly.

Debian is light and has everything i need. It is possible to use multimedia without problems even with the Strech installed in Celeron single core 2,26 Ghz and 1 Gb ram. Yes, I use this computer! To achieve this it was necessary to install LXDE.
- Light
- Well documented
- Works well even on old hardware
- Very good and complete repository
- I rarely need to install software that is not from the repository. Usually have what I need
I'm an ordinary user. Use Debian to watch movies on the internet, study remotely and edit various file types.
