First install I was impressed with the look and feel on older hardware. Then I realized things weren't working. NetworkManager was installed but wasn't operational, and Regata OS Update would download but never actually install updates. Every reboot I'd be greeted with the exact same updates after the system claimed to have done them all previously. I've had constant chronic issues with anything SuSe based previously, though I wanted to try this, I am somewhat not surprised it failed to function.
I would say this is nothing more than a live distro. The web browser functions but anything above that probably wouldn't.

This is about as good as OpenSuse gets. I tested Regata in live mode and all went well. I followed that with an install, and it went seamlessly, and could not have gone better. Getting Regata ready for everyday use, I felt very comfortable. Like this was a Linux distro from years gone by, but very up to date and modern. I believe Linux Mint is the standard that all other distros must be judged by, and Regata is very close to that. I had no second thoughts about making Regata one of my main operating systems.

I have been testing this version to see how it will fulfill my gaming needs, and if this is a candidate to replace Windows 11.
While version: 21.0.22 worked fine out of the box (my Nvidia 3080 Ti GPU, Realtek onboard sound, and even my Steelseries headphones + external DAC all recognized and working without having to install additional drivers) i cannot seem to boot to the GUI of the installed version 22.1.3.
Only thing that i was able to get working is the 22.1.3 Live environment (with Ventoy it works perfectly).
Installing 22.1.3 also works fine, but booting to it does not. I will have to see if I'm able to upgrade to this version from 21.0.22.
Overall I'm impressed by all available game clients that are accessible through Regata OS Game Access and how easy it is to set them up. Once most my games are supported, and 22.1.3 works, this could be my alternative for Microsoft Windows.

I had to use the nv iso (nvidia version) when trying out the live from a ventoy usb.
Other iso would boot on my intel cpu + amd graphics card.
But strangely the nv iso booted up ok.
Might have been fixed in the newer isos by now but not sure about that..
If you're English i think you also have to make sure you get the iso that says en_US.
Great looking OS that also runs well and seems to update regualrly too.
Though i'm thinking i might have downloaded the rolling release.
This is the first distro based on Suse that i actually like enough to stick with.
I've had one problem since install and that was a buggy update that stopped me being able
to open any programs.
I left it a few hours and a new update was piped down the line that fixed it .
I think that is what i like a lot about this distro ,updates are frequent and
major bugs are attended to pretty quickly.
Anyway ,one of better distros out there ,hope it sticks around for along time.

This is a very good OS It it very well constructed.I would recommend it to anyone who uses linux.Keep up the good work.I had a problem switching from portrait to landscape but they have fixed it.Right now I have no cons.The only change I would make is to be able to use my own icon in the task bar.A system clone tool would be very nice.Right now I use rescuezilla to make a backup but It dose not support btrfs file system.I am using ext4 right now but would like to use btrfs.If this OS had a clone tool that is easy to use like mx linux has I would never use any other OS.

Nvidia live iso boots up ok on pc with AMD CARD.
Regata_OS_21-nv_en-US.x86_64-21.0.32.iso
A bit strange that the iso meant for AMD users doesn't boot but this one made for Nvidia users does.
Anyway ,good looking distro ,has a professional look to it that Windows users would probably like if trying Linux for the first time.
It also has something called 'Regata OS Game Access' which offers easy one-click install of most of the well known gaming clients in a professional looking game hub..
Also has a catalogue of some popular games that link into your game clients like Gog ,Ubisoft ,Epic ,Rockstar ,etc..
Though looks like you have to install Steam separately as it's not listed in the game hub for some reason.
Start menu is setup to look similar to a win 7 type with a simple list on the left and programs to the right when you hover your mouse over the list.
I don't think Vulkan is working properly atmo though that might have something to do with the mixup between my AMD card
and this being an Nvidia iso ,i don't know right now.
Wifi worked out of the box but that is because i have a rt3070 wifi dongle that usually works with all Linux isos.
My other Realtek dongles don't work and will need the drivers built from Github hosted sources.
That will probably require DKMS and or build-essential installed which i don't think are installed out of the box.
I've seen too many distros recently that don't include basic stuff like DKMS and build-essential ,very ,very annoying.
Anyways ,overall a very nice distro that i might well use on a regular basis if i can be sure my AMD card problem can be sorted out easily.

System failure at boot ,black screen on AMD graphics with Intel cpu
Had to force shut down of pc .
Tried nomodeset too ,same problem.
Regata_OS_21_en-US.x86_64-21.0.32.iso
Regata_OS_21_en-US.x86_64-21.0.32.iso
Something seriously wrong if a live iso can't boot in 2022.
I will come back in 6 months and see if it's still here and possibly improved.
