Buonissima distro, io uso MATE perchè ho avuto il primo PC con Gnome 2 (Linux era solo così), e per me Linux deve avere questo ambiente grafico. Sabayon si comporta molto bene, vasta scelta di software, rolling release e bisogna dire Made in Italy. Ottimo supporto tecnico nel forum, e appena installata non ho avuto nessun problema. Rigo chiaro e ben fatto, equo molto efficace (si vede che è Gentoo based). Molto soddisfatto.

After installation I launched entropy to make the necessary updates.... 5 hours passed and it was still in installation progress. I love Gentoo meme and I really liked the idea of sabayon but unfortunately it didn't work well for me. :(

Eine der wenigen auch für Anfänger geigneten Distros, die "out of the box" im "UEFÌ Secure Boot" Modus, z.B. wenn man Windows 10 paralell installiert hat, problemlos booten! Ohne irgendwelches gefrickel mit dem Shim Bootloader, weil der Kernel genauso wie z.B. bei Ubuntu oder Fedora von Microsoft signiert ist.
Trotzdem ist Sabayon als "Alleinstellungsmerkmal" in diesem Distro Segment eine echte Community Distribution, ohne einen kommerziellen Hintergrund, wie ich es verstehe.
Perfekt auch als LIve USB Distro geeignet, da die "daily" ISO Images täglich aktualisiert werden. Sogar ein externer Monitor an meinem Laptop mit unüblicher Auflösung wird sofort problemlos erkannt. Die Hardware Erkennung & Stabilität ist Gentoo typisch exellent!
Im Live Modus (KDE) hat man einen voll funktionsfähigen Linux Mutlimedia Internet Desktop der kaum wünsche offen lässt. Auch im Live Modus ist die Stabilität und Geschwindigkeit sehr gut, sogar updates sind dabei im begernzten Umfang möglich, sofern genügend RAM Speicher vorhanden ist.
Kenne keine Distro die so komfortabel im Live USB Modus (z.B. von einem schreibgeschützten USB Stick) z.B. fürs Websurfen etc. schnell und sicher am start ist! Man kann z.B. statt dem vorinstalliertem Google Chrome Browser (der einzige Nachteil für mein empfinden) auch mal eben Firefox installieren im Live Modus, der läuft bei mir so problemlos und stabil.
Der vielleicht grösste Vorteil: Man kann immer die neueste Version (Daily ISO) verwenden wenn man möchte, was gerade im Live Linux Modus einen unschätzbaren Vorteil für mich darstellt.

very good gnu-linux experience, nice rolling distro based on gentoo, I loved it specially for gnome 3.24 desktop environment (imho graphically is nice like a Mac desktop), rigo is a beautiful package manager for update weekly, I wish learn more about entropy but there is a good documentation and wiki

A frustrating experience for me every time I've tried it over the years. It may set up nicely initially, but it seems to update itself into oblivion eventually. Maybe that's gotten better recently, but I wouldn't know due to another issue, namely that it didn't do well with a changed video card requiring legacy nvidia drivers.
It's great that Sabayon installs the latest nvidia driver "out of the box", but downgrading (or even attempting to use the website-provided .run file version as a last resort) proved ridiculously difficult, not to mention virtually undocumented on what some say is a great wiki. Sabayon's own nvidia-340 didn't work, nor did trying to use nouveau. When attempting to use the nvidia .run file, I had to not only download the gigantic kernel source package, but also download and reinstall/reconfigure gcc (a "known issue" since 2013). It still didn't work! Into the dustbin...
I love Gentoo (using it as I type), and Calculate's a winner, but boy do I hate Sabayon...

Amazing distro, beautiful terminal!
very very fast, actually is fastest than arch, debian and anything else you may try!
The only cons i find is that there is no graphical tool to install and manager drivers like we see on manjaro!
And kde version is kinda buggy if you ask me, but its freaking good!@

I have used many distros in the past, but i have to say that the latest weekly build for KDE is pristine, well polished and if you do what the documentation says you get a very smooth operating system. I also use High Sierra and Sabayan is snappier, faster and looks so professional for a free OS. Speed up your repos first, follow the excellent directions from the wiki and the update is painless and was quick. So far so good, good job people at Sabayan!!

Sabayon is rock solid, very good wiki, I have not ever had to search the internet for a solution to a problem. It also automatically install my drivers for my video card, Few problems I encounter was solved in the next release. If they would let you use more than ext4 and btrfs, when installing, it would be great

Although this is a large ISO, once it's installed it runs quickly. The Gnome version comes with a really good set of themes, which isn't a make/break issue, but considering how hard it is to find themes that aren't broken in some way, it's good to have. Had no problem with my Nvidia card, which is rare. The killer feature, though, is having two package managers that can (carefully) interact, being Entropy, the binary installer based on Gentoo-built packages, and Portage, the source-based manager from Gentoo.
Sabayon is more stable than it was years ago, which for a rolling-release is reassuring, and the expertly-written wiki has got some great fixes for common problems.
The built-in repo is quite small, but you have access to that + Gentoo + overlays; you can pretty much run what you like.

This Distro really runs "out of the box" for me. They all say that but this one really does.
The system is setup ootb exactly as I did manually before I discovered version 10. The only thing I killed was Magneto.
Over the years some updates did break my system (for example silly things like suddenly switching to sddm) some recoveries took me days - you don't want auto-updates until you have your hands free. Yep, that is the design of rolling release. Equo is great, no need for graphics.
My "desktop/server" is staying on suse Leap (where there is a good balance between stable and bleeding edge), but Sabayon is always great for the Laptop.

Perfect Distro for me. Easy to install, fast, user friendly, and Rolling. Rigo is a great package manager, and quick for installing practically every application you can think of.
Magneto update notifier isn't very reliable for me though, and that would probably be my only con. Using the terminal quickly installs updates.
I installed the XFCE version, but for the most part, I use i3, and it's perfect.

Love it....finally a snappy and fast OS!!!
I have this OS installed on several older laptops and newer desktops and they for sure have come alive....a true pleasure to work with.
There are some quirks but I have found quirks in every distribution so far, even the big ones like Ubuntu Mate, Fedora's Gnome and Mate, CentOS, I guess everybody has different ways to do things.
Some things are quite different like printer installation or maneuvering around in CAJA but nothing I can't fix or get used to it.
Once again....love the speed.
Look forward to the future with Sabayon-Mate.

Whilst quite usable after installation, Sabayon ist lacking in refinement. Both, KDE and Mate, which I tried, had virtually no prinrter drivers incorporated. HP had 10 printers listed and Epson 2 - 9pin and 24pin. How many people have a 9 pin Epson today? They died out and disappeared, when the dinosaurs disappeared. No Gnome-commander or double commander present or available, only second rate two-panel file managers like tux-commander. No scanner like "simple scan", no disk-utility, no burner and no unetbootin, no useful calendar etc. etc.
For an average Linux user like me, who doesn't know command line stuff it'll be quite a task to compile a usable working system. I couldn't hook up my printer for example. There are better distros out there, without wanting to knock Sabayon.
Once they realize the basics, Sabayon might be a good distro......

Easily one of the best distros I've ever used. I would recommend and have recommended it. Overall an absolute joy to work with.
There's great support available, but I rarely find myself needing it since it just works so well. The frequent updates are definitely a plus.

Besides of the extremely slow (about 2 - 4 hours on decent machine) initial upgrading process, this is a fresh air in Linux world for me.
Friendly, even funny info comments and overall feeling of stability bring some joy from the very beginning.
Thankfully, the first steps are automated now not like before when you had to be the Gentoo expert to have things work for you.

At a first glance it results in a great Gentoo desktop experience.

I wish there were more distros based on Gentoo. I like Sabayon, it's fast as lightening, very easy to use, and looks professional. But, every version I have installed explodes at some point, and I have to replace it.
