SysLinuxOS is NOT fabulous.
It cannot even configure the mouse, just similar to Peppermint Linux could not configure the keyboard.
It cannot be installed along with other Linux distributions.
It cannot identify already existing SWAP partition.
I found a SATA disk for 10 dollars and I partitioned it to install an additional fourth distribution.
I had 3 distributions already inside the 320GB Toshiba.
This was Seagate Hard disk apart from slight hissing noise it has Emmabanrus, Ubuntu 23.10 and Debian Gnome 12.4.0.
Yes after two failed trials I installed Parrot OS as the fourth distribution.
Earlier it had Linux Mint Mate.
Since I already have Ubuntu another Ubuntu based distribution is redundant.
SysLinux OS 12.2 has a heavy weight approach.
It had added lot of Microsoft redundant applications on top of the Linux base.
Like Linspire it is a failure not in any way inspiring.
1. It is Debian based.
2. One needs some understanding of Use of Linux.
3. It has all the Network Tools but it took about 30 minutes for me to find the available Wireless Network.
4. I am In Australia and I was able to get our Ceylon Mobile Networks only after fiddling a little.
5. It has VM (Microsoft) Ware already installed and I did not bother to test it.
6. It has lot of Microsoft Windows software already installed and one who is coming from a Windows background should be pleased to use them.
But why use windows under Linux hood except for playing Window's games.
Did not have any worthwhile games.
7. As usual AbiWord is NOT there.
I did try looking for Software Install but could not find Abiword.
On that ground alone, I won't USE it!
8. It has both Synaptic and SNAP packages.
No FlatPak.
9. Mouse is wobbly when an item is active but wireless keyboard is OK.
10. I might give it a try on an External SATA disk which I do not have now.
Yes, I tried installing and it failed.
I think it was looking for Windows to dual boot and cannot dual boot with another Linux distribution.
11. Implementation of the Calamara Installer is a total failure.
I won't use it even though it claims it has System Ware.
A bogus approach, I believe.
