 Its really good! And the setup is super impressive! BUT there are issues with how themes are handled. I know changing gtk4 applications is a pain but it would be super nice. I had some issues with steam but that was probably moreso a fedora thing, so not going to knock this for that. Imo better than nobara. Gaming performance was expected. It would be nice for a kde version but its definitely not needed at all. Overall its good. Bug fixing and getting the theming down would be about my old hottakes on it! Keep up the good work!

 This is by far the most impressive distro I've tried out in a long time.

There are many cool settings and additions to make Fedora (which is already a good distro) even better.

The special tweak tool and onboarding tool are very useful. I am not a power user and on the terminal all day. But the zsh shell is beautifully styled and didn't lead me to switch back to bash.

I sincerely hope for the project that interest starts picking up for risiOS. I think its the best kept secret right now. Going forward ill be using this distro instead of Vanilla Fedora.

 Wow, risiOS is the best O/S I have ever used! I really loved all the choices made in it. I wish I didn't have to tend to personal hygiene so that I could use risiOS more. Although GNOME isn't my favorite, risiOS makes palatable. Keep up the good work!

When I started in computers, Linux distributions weren't as good as this is. I love how the word "risi" is worked into all aspects of the system which makes it even better. I wish I could wear risi clothing, drink from risi cups, walk on risi floors and breath risi air. Its so cool.
