Very slow to install and desktop sluggish at times once up and running. Slow to install packages, but that's Apt for you. Some kernel errors just after post which I've never encountered before on this laptop with any other Linux distributions. Chromium seems to be the default web browser. I removed it and installed Firefox but it's a Snap package, which is disappointing. Have to jump through hoops to get a regular install for some reason. Everything else seems okay, but I'm probably not going to keep this one. Artix Linux with KDE is my favorite setup, but on this ePC I need something a bit lighter.

If you have enought time and patince to wait installer to finish, then the system could be fair enough. However I faced some glitches here and there. It falls short in speed compared to other Ubuntu based Xfce desktops. Somehow I feel filesystems to be quite slow but did not do investigation on root cause. It's strange a bit to have Chrome as default browser, perhaps it is by the creators personal taste. It could be a very good OS some day, but I think it still has a long way to reach this goal.

It's a great distro for old PCs and notebooks: simple and works fine! The bootload is fast. I try this distro in an old notebook (Aspire E1-571 with 8GB Ram) and works fine and stable for developing with Node.js and React.js.
Others test that I have done was with Zorin OS Lite, but the Linux Lite works better. The UI it has good feedback when you need to run or switch to a new program. The snap is available and it simplifies install packages and softwares.
About UI: this distro isn't beautiful but isn't ugly as well. You can personalize all you want, and dark theme is available - I love dark themes.
