Revisiting Commodore OS with Positive Sense

I withdraw all my adverse comments, well meant and constructive.
It has a high facelift and I am currently installing it.
It is MX Linux installer which I am familiar with. It made a comment that boot partition of 1GB was not enough and it recommended 1.4GB. Since, I gave 52GB for the / root partition and EFI is over 2GB, I went ahead with instsllation.
Colour selection is pretty good and background animation is excellent.
The Community of Developers have done an excellent job.
BIG Thank You.
This is MATE desktop which I am not familar with.
User and Password is not set.
I believe it is done at boot time.
It is a big image and a little bit of time to install. Sit back or go and make a cup of tea.
It did not detect the WiFi keyboard and I could not activate the Internet.
By the way, Endevour OS is something one should have on a USB. Instead of using Gparted Live session, I used Endeavour OS to preparethe Hard Disk.
Installation is bit faster than the last time.
Erased Modicia which needs about 25 to 30GB /root partition.
It uses APP Image by default to avoid sandboxes and dependency.

AI Powered KIRO Linux- Why I hate AI Built Linux Distributions

Why I hate AI Built Linux Distributions

Good things can be used for bad things especially in Governments like in China.

Not trusting one's own citizens and put them under constant surveillance is a nasty paranoia. 

I can understand, country like Belgium using that technique with their pretty bad use and experience  in West and Central Africa in the past.  

By the way, Kiro is an agentic AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and command line interface (CLI) launched by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in July 2025 to streamline development from prototype to production. 
It is built on the Open Source Foundation of Visual Studio Code (Code OSS) and is designed to provide structured,  AI-assisted coding, particularly for complex tasks.
