I've tried Modicia OS and I have to say, it really positively surprised me! The installation was super simple; in no time, everything was ready. The desktop, based on Cinnamon but heavily customized, is truly beautiful to look at and, most importantly, it's blazing fast. You can tell it's highly optimized, even on my not-so-recent PC, it just flies! I noticed it has Turbo Boost active by default and a lot of other optimizations that make it incredibly snappy.
What I liked most is that it's ready to use for creative work. It already comes with a ton of professional software for graphics, audio, and video, all pre-installed and perfectly configured. No wasted time searching and installing; it's all right there. For those like me who use programs such as JACK Audio, it's all integrated and works wonderfully.
Tried out the earlier version based on Ubuntu. Im glad they switched directly to Debian. I liked it, though I thought for the average newbie they may be a little overwhelmed. Some would consider all the installed programs “bloat,” but I don’t think so for those involved seriously with multimedia. Modi is has done the heavy lifting for you.
They have installations in a number of schools as I understand it and that makes sense too. It opens up a younger generation to the benefits and capability of Linux.
I’m going to run it as my daily driver and see how improved it is over their earlier Ubuntu based version.
