great, I really looooooove it! :-)
Always have it with me on an external hdd.
I have to say it was a bit tricky first to get it flashed but works like a charme now :-)
For testing the virtualbox idea is enough, but I prefer having it installed instead.
The new "full" version is really awesome as it has all the tools included now instead of downloading half of the stuff. I means the small one might be useful for some but the full is what the majority will need ;-)
Many thanks to the developer which was very helpful during the whole progress!!

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 no sense to include Firefox and Chromium as dependencies.
Both metapackages should be in conflict with each other.
If you choose the full version you have 3 browsers (Midore, Firefox and Chromium) preinstalled.
After installing Pamac, it crashed in the middle of an update.

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 installing mAid as a (meta)-package on Arch(based) distros. Upgrading maid requires a full re-flash always and that should be avoided.
other then that: mAid saved my life a bunch of times and I can just recommend it - the remote support thing which is included is a life saver, too! (hey dad boot mAid, start teamviewer, connect your phone, I'll do the rest ;) )

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.

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.
