AxOS is an Arch-based Linux distribution for the desktop. It features a custom package manager called Epsilon and it strives to present a modern and elegant look while remaining powerful, lightweight and customisable. The project offers two desktop options - Calla (a custom desktop environment based on the Awesome window manager) and Sleex (a custom desktop environment based on the Hyprland compositor).

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Some fresh air in the linux world! I really love Hyprland in Sleex DE, it's amazing! Some minor bugs here and there (such as not showing the bluetooth icon in the menu, but it works from the settings). First impression after a couple of hours is that no other distro, and i've seen lots of distros as a distro-hopper myself, and by far, this is the most impressive one so far. Also this is the only wayland based distro/environment that works with Nvidia as prime renderer OOB, which is a big like (wayland in gnome/kde/DDE/cosmic etc. works only with nvidia offload, so no direct rendering). Either way, it's very smooth and the AI bar integration is far the best (on par with UOS UI from deepin, even if not that feature rich, i like this one more). I'm offering 10/10 mostly because of the Nvidia perk that this distro has, and UI friendliness towards offering a friendly, futuristic, eye pleasing UI.
The whole thing seems a little sketchy to me. From missing licenses and source code to the limited developers behind it and one obscure supporter. A lot of this weird vibe comes from the Calla desktop which is missing any form of license and lacks all source code bar a couple of scripts and a binary. I was using it in a VM and once I was done with having sketchy vibes I had a look at some of the project's repos and cam across a VM detection project. I sounds mostly fine but also added to the bad vibe I already had. Especially with the ability to detect a VM built into it, it opens the door to ideas of bootkits, rootkits and VM escape malware.
It's pretty on the outside but I can't shake the feeling that it's something more sinister on the inside and something to look out for.
I choose antother script to increase the capabilities of hyprland environtment, i want to try to install other browser.
when i try to run the new browser (Vivaldi, brave, etc...) the session logoff and i need to logon again, including if i choose from terminal to launch it.
Try to modify config files but the shortcut Super+B to launch the browser, have the same result.
The only browser is firefox.
The theme Sleex apparently is a good desktop environtment, but we need an application to modify the desktop.
