Good project, too bad it is still very Beta almost Alpha. Many stops when you open an app, if you use a mouse it is unused, it did not recognize the sound card, the screen does not configure well and many other problems.
The touch screen works quite well but it also has small problems and the gestures are scarce.
The marketplace is non-existent.
So for now it's a total failure, it would need a lot of developer support.
I will wait for a more updated version to judge it better.

Just terrible. For example, if a person clicks on the download link for the OS then download the OS. Do not take them to a forum page where the user is unable to find a download link. Secondly, if you can find the OS then you will quickly see it does not run well in a hypervisor like VirtualBox or VMware Workstation or Fusion. Third, populate the store with more applications. The store is very light. So many problems right from the start is a guarantee for an OS to fail. It is amazing it even has a 5.7 scale. Big thumbs down.

Keep an eye on this!
If they can deliver a high end linux tablet that is fully functional by 27 September it will be an amazing feat.
I installed the OS on an old, cheap laptop and it runs great. There is a resolution issue w the installer that can be fixed in the main settings. Once you figure out the trackpad movements navigation is easy. A touchscreen is ideal for this software though.
It is still a little buggy, which is to be expected for a new project. Adding software is a challenge as adding a PPA hasn't worked for me yet. There is a pop up on onscsreen keyboard icon I can't get rid of here and there. It is pretty light on system resources.
I think a year from now this OS could be an every day driver( I have used MX for the last 2 years ).
Overall I like the look, feel, and operation after playing with it for the last few days.

I like the concept it is really for touch screens and pads. I tried it on my laptop and there was no settings for changing the screen resolution and in tern I could not get the setting screen to close down lol. Overall not a bad project those and it looks good.

I would give this project 8/10 just because of the new path they are exploring. It is a commendable attempt at making Linux really tablet-friendly. I have tried 0.6 too and 0.8 is a huge improvement.
Your review is a bit harsh. I found that moving your cursor to the bottom of the screen brings up the app dock and I could switch apps easily. The work put in to various apps and making them tablet friendly is great.
Fact that it is based on KDE Plasma is a nod to Plasma's versatility. This is an excellent choice. Open-source journalism is less than kind to KDE/Plasma even though it is a brilliant desktop. This project may just prove the naysayers wrong.
Cheers.

NOTE: For android apps, you MUST have an ARM device! I missed that part. They say this is for tablets, True, as mentioned above, your tablet needs to have a keyboard attached! Even their promotional videos, the tablet always has a keyboard connected. Do people really carry their keyboard around all the time. Mine is only attached when I need to type a lot, such as a review.
It's a very smooth, speedy and responsive release. This distro has a lot of potential for touch interface devices. Right now, its' just not there, not even close. App store crashes or won't load apps, when loaded, very few apps available. WPS office package won't launch, no onscreen keyboard (must have keyboard attached) and biggest issue, no swipe/pull down to power off. Instead, you need a keyboard and CTRL-ALT-Del and click close. Close???
Like other mentioned, little uncomfortable that you must register with JingOS just to try it.
Supposedly v1.0 comes out in June. Will keep an eye on it this distro. Hopefully they will develop into a true tablet / mobility experience, as in, one that doesn't require a keyboard connected at all times!
Hardware used for testing: Lenovo X1 Tablet G3. So far it appears all hardware was detected, except for the webcam.

Overall my experience with JingOS so far has been, unconventional.
Before you even are allowed to download the ISO image, you must provide your email address,
after that, you are placed in a live-environment (with a login page) before install, rather than the option to install straight away. You must type the default password "123456" before using the live environment.
Once you install it works like any Ubuntu/Debian distribution, however it lacks keyboard shortcuts or the ability to create them, along with this applications stutter and take a while to open/close.
If all of these issues are fixed before Beta I would definitely use this distribution more often.

It's surprising. I hope it could be open source and keep on updating.

the idea is good, but some of the softwares are very questionable... especially I prefer OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
