I used this OS for about a year, loved it. I can no longer get the nvidia drivers to work right. The calamares installer neglected to install a lot of selected packages starting a while back including the nv driver pkgs, so I simply setup on nouveau and manually installed the nv drivers via binary from recovery mode, then added the other stuff w/pacman myself. It worked well for a while. No longer, just hit with lightdm cannot start now. Sorry but I had to move on and switch to endeavor, but if there's a new iso anytime patching these items, I will return. Thanks for the great OS.

Excellent out of box experience and the KDE version works wonderfully for me. I haven't tried it out too much yet, so i'll find out soon if it's truly worth a 10/10.

I have tried about 10 diff distros in past 2 months. I do xfce only - don't like gnome - this is slick on xfce - very fast. I have slackware current as daily, but looking for alternate. I will keep this one for a while. Only slack and MX were as easy and as fast running as this. Installation was slow took 45 minutes, and libreoffice crashed the install on conflicting dependencies, but when I deselected it, it went clean. Otherwise I would give this a 10. I installed nearly everything, and it boots and runs extremely fast. Among those I tried and ditched are pop, manjaro, artix, mageia, solus (which I like but I need to either build drivers from source or have git/dkms) it didn't cooperate. This distro did. Running old xeon cpu on x58 with a lot of ram and 1070ti.

Just works. Even on my Surface Pro 3: with and without dual boot, on both, external and internal ssd(s). Bloat free. I knocked a digit off, because the installer didn't install my selections. I really enjoyed Arco Linux, but the performance, fast boot times, and smoothness (even with highly customized kde). Salient blows it out of the water. My new main distro.

From all Arch based distros I tried so far, this one worked the best for my needs. Not only because my RTL8812BU works OOTB (which is rear) but everything else is setup in the way that I really like. And it's fast.
XFCE looks like it works much better than KDE, I guess because it's their main DE for this distro.
I used it only as a live system so far.

I have been using salient os for the past 4 months In my pc there is no ssd and I am a android developer and prior using this I have used may arch based distro including Manjaro, Artix, Arco, Endevour Os , Garuda Linux or pure Arch, none of these had given me the performannce the way salient os had given me and I am finally settled with a OS functioning as the way it has been made specifically for my dell inspiron 5570. Once again thanks to great developer Silent Robot.

Wasn't able to complete installation process, as it showed an error produced by internal code mismatch.
The look ut to there was good, even the calamres installer was fine, but it didn't complete, so there is no base for a real rating.

I'm very impressed with this so i'll just state 2 things i didnt like
First, it would be nice if more DEs were offered, you can download them later anyways but why waste time?
And second but more important, it Should state the other programs included in the default installation when you are browsing the package selection menu. It is not bloated by any means but i would like to know what gets installed and maybe refuse or replace some of them. Not eveyone likes pamac for example or notepadqq
