I recently installed rlxos version 2023.11 on a HP Intel CORE I3, 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD , Wireless networking laptop. I had two issues. First issues was with partitioning, I can can only used UEFI and Secure boot on my laptop. rlxos will not boot in Secure mode on my laptop. I had to create a GPT partition wait a EFI and Root partitions with the Gparted tool in the rlxos Installer to continue the install. Once created, the install completed. rlxos reboots to setup a user account and read-only core environment.
Second issue was password. rlxos did not let me continue using a long passphrase on my laptop. I had to create a six-character password to continue, i.e. character, number, and symbol. I was able to change it later Once I got pass these two issues, was able to update using SWUPD and install applications from Flathub. I installed the following: LibreWolf, Torbrowser-lanncher, and Pycharm Community edition from the CLI.
All in all, everything is working. I used this laptop for distro-hopping.. I have an interest in immutable OS. I am trying rlxos as a security concern for public Wi-Fi access. I will see what happens with rlxos.
Thank you,

It works well enough, but was not getting any new updates, and when I went to find a discussion board, noticed the website is gone. Maybe it is now dormant or discontinued? I like how systems like this update as a whole, and the flatpak integration is/was seamless. I would have continued with it longer had the website not disappeared. If the developer is still maintaining, then some signs of life might help encourage continued use! I will continue to look for this style of system, rolling with read-only updates, for non-production machines. They are very easy to maintain, and great for more inexperienced users.

It Just Works
Positive:
- Easy to use
- Nice GNOME Interface (nearly vanilla)
- Nice on boarding process
- Easy to manage (mostly self managed) (Day 12 and didn't open terminal for once)
- Performance feel better on my Dell Inspiron 7420
Negative:
- "AI bot" only respond "hey", (fixed after update) but still need major improvements
- No nvidia GPU supported yet.
- Thunderbolt not supported? (may me missing boltd conflict?? lol)
- Systemd...
Overall: Good to see a independent distribution doing so great in term of overall UX
