I found it very lightweight and the performance was excellent. I had a very positive impression. I installed the XFCE version. My PC has the following configuration: CPU: Celeron G1820T / RAM: 4GB / 32GB SSD. The things that trouble us Japanese users are the IM (Input Method) and dictionary, but I installed Synaptic and then set up Japanese. It works properly in a Japanese environment. The screen design is modern and beautiful. I also think the icon placement is good. Regarding settings, there are many convenient tools available for XFCE. The tools are grouped together, making access easy. I played YouTube videos, and they played smoothly. My internet connection is 5G network, with speeds of around 200Mbps. For performance comparison, I compared it to a Core i5-8000, but there wasn't a significant difference in performance. (There is a big difference in advanced calculations.) Even though it's based on Debian 13, it uses X11, so I felt the operation was stable. It runs practically on 4GB of memory, so I think it's fine even with an older PC and a small budget. It's a very budget-friendly distribution for me. Developing it must be tough, but please keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you! Was this review helpful?

Yes No Version: 2.0 Rating: 5 Date: 2026-01-25 Votes: 3 This distro has a lot of potential. I will however agree with a previous review. This distro needs a lot of polishing. It has one of the snappiest and fluid feels with the interface I must say. The fact that the install option was left on the screen after installation wasn't a big deal for me. I just deleted it off the desktop. I did notice one of the Cuerd applications was not in English, even though that was my selected language. Luckily for me, I understand some Spanish so I was able to make my selection in the Conky application. The real nail in the coffin for me was the fact that when I used the same VPN I use on all deb based distros, the network manager said I had limited connectivity. This is absurd. I even did a speed test and had excellent speed. But the popup remained. Distros such as Cuerd OS make me happy I keep multiple distros on Ventoy while I am distrohopping. This will be a distro I visit n the future. Just to see if they work out the bugs. Off to another distro for me! Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 8 reader reviews of CuerdOS...
