Revisiting Br OS, I see their documentation is true. They brought the OS back to what I remember. I was using it as my main distro before. An upgrade caused it to have problems. Now in 2026, I see they've restored it to functionality and then some!

I especially like the fact they have Riseup VPN working. The only VPN I know for a fact has No Trackers! So once again Br OS is my main distro.

Coming from an immutable Fedora based distro, I have become used to Appimages. So I uninstalled some of the graphic apps that come with the distro and installed them as appimages. I have never seen so many dependencies removed in autoremove.

It didn't break the system or anything, it's Solid! I couldn't be happier with a Linux distro.

If all remains the same, this will be my permanent distro. Thank you so much to the devs from Br OS. Obrigado!

It's been a while since I've been jumping from distro to distro without finding one that meets what I need in a Linux distribution, it seems that this time I found the right distro, at least for me, the project has been active for 5 years with important updates in each version, with each version we have an improvement in performance and security, it always comes with new features, and the most interesting thing is that it never loses the simplicity of the minimalist and intuitive design, they keep what works and innovate in the rest, for me it's ideal!

When we talk about Br OS, we already know that a stable, lightweight, and secure operating system is coming, in addition to a visual flair. I've been using this distro for years and never tire of it. Do you know what it's like to get a Debian and be able to install it in just a few clicks without needing to configure anything simply because it configures itself practically? This is Br OS, a system that is in no way inferior to the big operating systems and that has clearly proven itself over time. For me, it's perfect; I use it and recommend it!
