After 15+ years, I can acknowledge how far the whole Linux game has improved. The days of forum trawling for the answer to some esoteric query have thankfully become seldom rather than the norm. We've grown accustomed to everything working straight out the box. Not having to chip away at it. Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin etc.... all singing, all dancing, fully functional, the 'complete OS' alternative to Windows. There shouldn't really be a need for more, they are brilliant, the temptation is to settle for updates and refreshments of the formula. But that's boring. That's not Linux. It's an open book for anyone to rewrite, and at some point along the way, somebody will just nail it. That's what Vinari 5 is for me. A fantastic footnote in distros. It works, but it's not boring. The tweaks are intuitive and accessible. I love the neon colours. I prefer the Mac style to Windows. All the right apps are there. The ease of installing my VPN had me singing in the kitchen and my wife wondering if I'd lost my mind, AND it comes with a icon I can add to the dock!! Yes Vinari, YES!! The best OS in my lifetime of tinkering. Please don't break it with shonky updates, because this is perfect, and I hope it goes on to get the recognition it deserves. Brilliant!

I followed that instruction, and it worked flawlessly without any issues. The interface refreshed smoothly, and the new theme was applied system-wide, giving the desktop a consistent and elegant look. Apart from that, Vinari OS leaves a strong impression overall. It feels like a very polished and visually appealing distribution, with great attention to detail in its design and usability. The default layout is intuitive, and the system performance is quite stable. However, one noticeable drawback is that some of the available packages seem to be slightly outdated. This is not unexpected, as it follows the pattern of most Debian-based distributions that prioritize stability over having the latest software versions. Even so, it remains a solid and pleasant system to use daily. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.0.0 Rating: 4 Date: 2025-10-24 Votes: 0 I just installed the Vinari OS 5.0.0 Krypton. Its a nice distro with one glaring issue, I'm not a fave of all the purple and pink. its awfully overpowering and the Vinari Tweak app doesn't offer a lot of options to remove those colors in the theme accept changing the accent colors but the folder colors can only be changed by installing gnome tweak but the left pane in nautilus is still stuck on purple which is very annoying. The should be a distro that offers simple options to customize those colors but it doesn't. it has a of potential and even the background wallpaper with the distro name and version is not pleasing. I feel this can go a long ways if there was more easy way of customizing the colors to be more neutral than to force these on the users. Was this review helpful? Yes No
