Not so long ago, I was using Voyageur (gnome) based on Debian and Ubuntu until the DNS management was broken! Ubuntu-style network management is a gas factory... I've never managed to repair my machine, even with my own knowledge. So I tried Neptune v8.0. The KDE desktop is superb. The only thing that didn't work was the bluetooth... After a visit to their forum, I took note of a friendly user who gave the solution: sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth After a reboot, EVERYTHING is OK. To be continued... Very satisfied for the moment... I use Alpinelinux for my server! Greetings from France Didier Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 8.0 Rating: 1 Date: 2023-08-09 Votes: 0 Just installed the system and the installation went well. I like the default theming and the set of apps it comes with. But immediately I ran in the the issue: it cannot update. Discover gets stuck fetching updates. I tried logging out and in, and once it was able to build the list of updates, but it still wouldn't download anything. I had the same problem with it on version 7, and now on 8 it remains. This is completely unusable. I mean sudo apt upgrade does work, but if I wanted to use terminal, I wouldn't install a distro with one of the most advanced desktop environments.

I usually don't mind Flatpaks for most apps, but not for these two. In particular, the Waterfox Flatpak has an issue launching external links. So I did what I usually do and went to the hawkeye repository on GitHub, which has never failed me. But when trying to install it here, I run into dependency problems and broken held packages issue. Dependency problems are always hell that I try to avoid at any cost, because they can be a rabbit hole that sucks hours, if not days of your life. This is a freshly-installed system and already I am running into such problems. I'm gonna have to give it the lowest rating. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 27 reader reviews of Neptune...
