I'm someone that did daily drive its predecessor distro, Sabayon, for a while. So my review will mostly focus on the contrast between it and its predecessor, and how convenient it is to run in a virtual machine. Pros: * Has spice-vdagent in its official repos and is easy to set up for auto-rescalling of guest to host window and shared clipboard. * Package manager, Luet, is marginally faster than Sabayon's package manager, Entropy. * Adding extra repos is fairly easy and is done by installing those repos with Luet. * Luet is nicely verbose in its output like Entropy. * GNOME edition has a pretty icon theme by default. Cons: * Many packages you need to get from repos not enabled by default. * Upgrading one's system often leads to Luet installing the same version of many of your installed packages just from different repos or different builds. This can seem like an unnecessary use of disk space (in storing the packages before they're installed) and network. * Repos are missing several packages. In virtual machines, I don't need that many packages, but two I wanted were fastfetch and hyfetch and they were missing from MocaccinoOS' repos and I had to install them via following the upstream instructions instead. I also noticed that 0ad, supertux, supertuxkart, niri, jay, awesome, subversion, zed, julia, R, sagemath, sublime text, marvin, pymol, jmol, avogadro, openbabel, nerd fonts, texlive and texstudio, among others are missing from their repos (including their unstable repos). Granted, many of these can be installed via Flatpak or other cross-distro package managers. * Unlike Sabayon, MocaccinoOS doesn't have Portage pre-installed, so you cannot use it as a backup for installing extra packages.

I've been using their desktop edition with Plasma for the last two months and it has been having a solid performance. As it is based on gentoo linux I wish they would offer an RC/openRC init option as well. They do have a runit version but it is only for Mocaccino Micro and not the desktop version.

You can use and easly configure Lutris for playing PC games. It contains always updated nvidia drivers with are easy for install with a little help of moccasino OS support webpage Updrade time is a little slow and you cannot see its progression too cleary (i mean download speed so you cannot be sure that is not freezing) but it does not meke this system worse. luet menagement is not know but its even better but using it is not difficult. Just use sudo luet upgrade and sudo luet install apps/yoursoftware Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 7 reader reviews of MocaccinoOS...
