I am very supportive of Tuxedo Linux and I am waiting for it's Cosmic desktop.
I am just writing it's latest Iso into a USB stick.
Report when I have finished testing it.
The Cosmic desktop is not available.
1. FireFox my favorite (apart from Falcon and Opera) is sleek.
2. It is Ubuntu based which is bit of downside since Canonical is going through a sea change.
Ubuntu 21.10 is OK but 21.10.1 is wobbly with old computers.
3. It is KDE my old desktop "flame" but an avid user of Gnome new desktop is Superb.
4. Wireless connectivity is effortless.
5. No Synaptic, SNAP or FlatPak which restrics the availability of software.
Since it is developing its own hardware, I have no qualm about it and they probably port only stable applications to cut down on customer complaints.
The other side of the coin, is when guys and girls looking latest and cutting edge utilities they will not join the band wagon.
5. Office is there as usual my faourite AbiWord is not there.
My conviction is any distribution who do not port this versatile (almost command line utility as a long tern Linux supporter, I will not change my habits.
Take a leaf from Parrot OS which is scaled down but very versatile without scarifying security.
Overall a good effort but it won't be my workhorse for any stretch of imagination.
I am a NUC guy and it only spends only 8 Watts typing this message and no irritating FAN hissing in the background.
In fact I bought a second hand SATA of 500GB and because it was giving a hissing noise I removed it from my NUC and put my OLD Toshiba SATA disk back.
In any case, two of my latest currently working books are there.
I did not copy them to a USB stick.
My saying, if the the old stuff works for YOU Do Not Change.
Carry on Regardless!
