I am greeted immediately by an error message that stays on the screen for an unsettling amount of time: dracut-pre-pivot [2848]: fatal configuration error, aborting.
As mentioned before me, the distribution runs unexpectedly slow. The screen flickers badly. Plasma shell keeps crashing. Updates are very slow. Windows and dialogs do not look sharp.
I do like systemd, I do not find that an issue.
It lacks podman and some other packages I want to use.
If these issues are sorted it could be a decent distribution, but for now it has too many issues. Please fix these issues.
Give it 9 out of 10. Loads from disc, no way to boot this operating system from USB memory card device stick, screen turns black, then goes back to windows boot menu. Tested this on older computer machinery, it only seems to work on legacy hardware. Great if' you have older hardware that can not load windows anymore or refuses to load windows at all properly with all the drivers, xp, 2000, me, nt, 982nd edition. *Needs* to boot from burnt dvd-r though. Some odd reason just gives black screen of death on USB memory card device stick. Modern computer hardware dose not use fat-16-bridges no more, if' that what this project is going for it limited to legacy hardware only. That dose not mean it is bad though, still useful in one way or another which can be good thing as there is not many linux projects left making operating systems for older technologies no more, which is quite sad to be frank. Many computer users out there that refuse to modernize to more new technologies, even gamers, and collectors of relic technologies.

Tried it on two different machines. My CPU is running on full speed without any reason. I like independent distros, but this unusable.
