Innovative and promising distribution for an Alpha version! This distribution is specifically aimed at gamers who are new to Linux and want a distribution that works right out of the box. There's no need to use a terminal, no updates to carry out - they're automatic and the distribution is solidly read-only. Desktop environments are Gnome or KDE.
Easy Flatpak is a graphical way of installing everything you need.
I'm not a gamer myself, but I installed this distribution to test it out, and I'm very impressed with its usability! Reliable (read-only, it updates automatically and transparently at startup), pleasant to use, functional as soon as it's installed, no more terminals to use, it seems to me to have enormous potential and a great future, well beyond gamers.
For Linux gamers, this is their flagship to take them to the stars! (doux-rêveur131).

I'm sorry, as a non-French person, that although I'm very taken with the idea of a gaming linux, I'm very limited in how I can use it.
This is due to the pre-installed Firefox and NVidia programs!
Firefox is preconfigured in such a way that it cannot be set to a language other than French, no matter what tricks you use!
NVidia settings are neutered and you can work ok with DirectX but not with openGL, which is a joke with Linux...
It looks good and runs fine if you have a >RTX2000 GPU
with my test GTX1060 the install failed several times until I changed to a RTX3060ti...

Based on Nix OS, this distro aims at being easy to use for newcomers (quite surprising as Nix is a complex distro that requires skilled Linux users).
So, If your PC config is recent and build for gaming (system requirements are quite high). This is a must, even in this beta version.
I'm using it for several weeks now. All the components of my config were correctly recognised from the start. The bunch of gaming apps is complete.
If you don't master the Nix way of installing software, the user can easily use a special appstore for flatpacks, called easyflatpak.

For an Alpha version, this is a really great job!
Really solid and easy to use. Nothing to do for update, a real pleasure. You just switch on your PC and game and nothing more!
Gnome preconfigured with all needed extension (at least for me), that's rare and really appreciated!
I'll continue with the Beta (release for Today) to see the improvement made by the team.
Also, I think I'll check the KDE because I prefer it to Gnome.
Congratulations to the Team, I guess the final version will be a banger ;)

The distribution is already in beta; it's super stable, easy to access, and comes with everything you need for gaming.
You can now also choose between KDE Plasma and Gnome. A must-try!
Among the really cool tools, you'll find Nix Drive Manager, which lets you automatically mount your drives in just a few clicks, and the Environment Management interface, which gives you access to the two DEs mentioned above, again in just a few clicks.
Two versions are available: GlfOS, which is a stable version, and Glfos Rolling, which is cutting-edge.

GLF OS is a great and user-friendly Linux distribution, especially for users with NVIDIA graphics cards. It comes pre-configured with proprietary NVIDIA drivers, saving users from the usual hassle of manual installation. This makes gaming, video editing, and overall graphical performance smoother right out of the box. The distro also offers an intuitive interface and excellent hardware compatibility, making it ideal for beginners and experienced users alike. With its stability, modern software, and ease of use, GLF OS is a perfect choice for anyone looking to switch to Linux without dealing with complex setups.

I think this distro has everything we need for gaming
just install it and Let's rock!
Now with KDE, smoother transition from windows, it’s perfect for people like my brother. He doesn’t want to tweak anything on his PC, just launch games and play. GLF OS makes that possible: it comes with all the apps he needs and a solid default setup.
The latest beta adds support for Logitech wheels and other peripherals, which is great.
so actually my brother uses it and hasn’t had to tweak anything — it just works.

It’s a distribution tailored to my needs. Everything I need is already installed. It includes all the software for gaming and all the drivers for the hardware. I have a specific wireless Xbox controller, and very few distributions include drivers for this device. GLF did it. Thanks to the GLF community.
The project is still young; we're only at the alpha version. I find it very stable and suitable for everyday use.
Even though it’s based on NixOS, I didn’t need to use any command lines. I installed the missing software via Flatpak — there’s an app that makes Flatpak installation really easy.
GLF managed to create a beginner-friendly distribution based on NixOS. Well done!

Having looked into GLF OS, it's clear this distribution goes above and beyond simple gaming optimizations, offering a genuinely user-friendly experience, especially for those new to Linux.
Beyond the expected pre-installed gaming lauchers and drivers, what truly makes GLF OS stand out for beginners includes:
- A ready-to-go desktop: It comes with GNOME pre-configured, so you're not left tweaking things from the start.
- Effortless maintenance: Updates, system maintenance, and cleaning are all fully automatic, significantly reducing the usual Linux learning curve.
- Broad hardware support: From Xbox controllers (with or without dongles) to Logitech, Fanatec, and Thrustmaster racing wheels, compatibility is robust right out of the box.
- NVIDIA drivers included: If you have an NVIDIA card, the drivers are pre-installed, saving you a common headache.
- Content creation ready: Even for those dabbling in video, it has RustiCTL and CUDA pre-configured for DaVinci Resolve.
- Flexible desktop environment: You can switch between GNOME and KDE with just a click in a graphical interface !!
There's often concern about NixOS, the base of GLF OS, being complex. However, it seems most users won't need to dive deep into Nix's intricacies. As long as the features provided by GLF OS and Flatpak applications cover your needs, you won't typically interact with Nix's more advanced aspects. It's truly designed to be a straightforward transition for Windows users moving to Linux, prioritizing ease of use over requiring advanced system knowledge.
For a gaming-focused Linux distribution, GLF OS appears to hit all the right notes for accessibility and convenience.
