I'm running the 32 bit version on a 2008 Intel Atom N270 netbook with 2GB of RAM and a slow mechanical hard drive. It is probably one of the few viable operating systems on such a low performance computer. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a gem. It is really very polished. Qt based (KDE derived, not sure), resembling Windows XP while maintaining a very consistent look throughout the system. Trinity is that good and should be more seriously considered in other distributions. The system also comes with an excellent text based installer that does manual partitioning very well. Installation is minimal, and uponfirst graphical boot you are greeted with a start windows that allows you to choose the main packages / codecs and everything you need to configure your system in a very user friendly way. Hardware support was excellent, with WiFi, Wireless Printing, Bluetooth, TrackPad, Vertical Scrolling, and keyboard shortcuts (volume, brightness etc) working straight out of on first boot (only bluetooth requires a base package installation, which is offered on the welcome screen). I'm delighted. Will definitely try this distro on my other test systems and rank it among my favorite distros. Thank you! Was this review helpful?

This distro is very well thought out and the new version is so polished and professional, and yet it will run great on an older machine. What more could you need, a very intuitive gem with speed and a rock solid vast software selection of Debian. There is no weakness here, this is built to survive and get work done. This is distro is not built for beauty, but it does have a charm all of its own, and makes me think of the days of XP when you just got work done.A truly special distro. Thanks devs Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.8 Rating: 10 Date: 2022-04-08 Votes: 13 Everything is set up perfectly out of the box, there is NO WARNING about setup. The most reliable operating system in the world and the ever-improving Q4.OS. It's a system that never fails. I was looking for a KDE-focused distro without a lot of quirky personality. I had Kubuntu installed prior to this and Manjaro prior to that (I've basically used just about every distro in existence at one time of another). Q4OS doesn't offer the breadth of programs an Arch-based distro does, but then again it also doesn't suffer the self-imposed suicide rolling releases succumb to inevitably. Q4OS is significantly better than Kubuntu. It is faster, installs easier, and other software packages install without a hitch that Kubuntu chokes on. Was this review helpful?
