stillOS 10(.1) is here. – stillHQ – Maintenance-Free Linux
stillhq.io

The “new” linux distro StillOS is now released for the public.

For tinkers and super users, this distro is perhaps not that interesting.

But for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files, this distro looks very promising.

I like the way how they implement web apps (when needed).

    “for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”

    Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?

    I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.

      i think gnome, suitably configured, is a great choice for a basic pc or chromebook|box alternative. simple windows, fewer options to get lost in or to screw up, big fat launcher buttons for the one or very few things that’ll ever get run. throw in atomic updates and flatpak only applications, and it’s near perfect for these users.

      Hey, that’s a real Mint killer! But your lack of faith in a college student’s time, stamina, and ability to pull it off is quite disturbing.
