I installed : vlc - libbreoffice - google chrome - 4kvideodownloader & gimp without problems.....I rate it "9" because I think the best minimal distribution is antiX Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.0.0 Rating: 1 Date: 2023-03-28 Votes: 2 I downloaded the Xfce version of Star 4.0 from Sourceforge. I noticed the newest ISO was uploaded almost one year ago.... mmmm... I tried twice to install it in a partition in my testing machine that is running MX. Every time there was the same unintelligible message error at the end of the process and when I restarted into the installed system it didn't work properly, like not completely installed. It didn't recognise other partitions, there was no trash, every time I restarted the system went back to the initial condition, etc... A lot of weird behaviour. There is no place to ask for help: no Star webpage, no Star forums... nothing. A waste of time. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.0.0 Rating: 9 Date: 2022-11-13 Votes: 2 Just changed my laptop over to Star from Zorin to escape systemd. The installer said it failed, even though the install was fine. the welcome splash page updater is nice, and handy. the xfce version is more geared towards me as an end user, while the openbox version was too minimal without either menu or dock on the desktop. everything seems to be working as intended and the software is very light while fairly complete. I did install the printer, laptop, libreoffice, and chromium upon installation. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 10 reader reviews of Star...
