CutefishOS | A New And Attractive Ubuntu Based Distro

okay welcome to another video so what we're going to be doing today is taking a look at a new ubuntu-based distribution called q fish os so this is going to be my very first time actually looking at the operating system itself but the second time that we've taken a look at the desktop environment so you might remember a little while ago when this was first being sort of teased and announced manjaro offered an addition featuring the q fish desktop which is where i checked out for the first time however was very new at the time and a lot of stuff didn't work so it's currently still in beta but i think there's been some updates and fixes since the last time i've checked it out so it'll be interesting to see how it all works in its own operating system so if we jump over to the blog we can check out some of the new features in cutefish os so they've got their own cute fish repository and an alternative package manager for that repository which is called tap so we'll check out how that works once we're fully installed we're gonna have the alternative settings center for advanced system settings and they've updated calamaris with qt shell so calamaris is what it's going to use for the installation they fix flags and the default butterfest markup in automatic mode okay cool so it appears i use butterfs as the default file system which i'm a massive fan of and they've got the z-ram by default with automatic configuration during system installation so we'll check all that out once we are installed and then we also have pipe wire configured by default to work correctly and then we have some new options in the settings so we have a new mouse theme new mouse options we have an added power management okay cool so we'll have a power and performance mode so we'll check that out new date and time page and new health items on the battery page and added system effects option in the appearance page okay that's quite cool as well so cute fish is a very kind of modern looking desktop environment with a lot of transparency and desktop effects so that might help other people to sort of check out on lower-end hardware that can't quite manage with the system effects and all the transparency going on so with the file manager they've added the open with dialog and support picture thumbnail and then we have the status bar with media control item in a status bar control window and increased stability and for the desktop they've improved the font rendering and added a lock screen interface okay we'll check all that out as well so the version that we're going to be checking out today is built on ubuntu 21.04 and it's currently on version 0.4.2 beta developer edition and also has a bit of what's new here which is quite cool to see that they've implemented all of the mail we kit applications which we first saw on networks so that's going to have sort of adaptive applications for different devices so they've got pretty much the whole suite from what i can see here like the file manager the terminal the station and all of that good stuff so the iso is around about 1.9 gb in size and i think all that's left for us to do is jump into the live environment and get this installed and here we are in the live environment a very nice and clean looking desktop environment but we'll go through all of that once we are fully installed so as per usual we are going to be installing this natively but for those of you who do like to skip the installation parts of these videos there'll be a timestamp down below which will take you straight to install desktop so it's opened up calamaris and kind of a full screen kind of view so let's just double click on the top panel here and restore it to a smaller kind of size and then we can start running through and get this all set up for our system so first up for me i'm going to change it from american to british english which is just one below and then go to the next step so it's already got the correct region for me which is europe london and next and it's also already got the correct keyboard layout let's just test out on our keyboard on the box below to make sure it's all working before we go to the next step and here's where we can partition our drives and set them up for our installation so we're going to mainly stick to the defaults here to see how it sets up the partition layout but we might change something with the swap so with the default selection of a race disk it's nice to see that we have the swap configurable as well as the file system and by default it is on butterfs and also gives a selection of ext4 f2fs or xfs or of course if you wanted to you can go into manual partitioning and then create sort of different partitions with different file systems but we're going to stick with by rfs as it's my favorite file system it's nice to see a lot of distributions now sort of implementing it as their default selection so what we are going to do is drop down and go for swap with no hibernate and that's going to give us three partitions one for our efi one for our sort of partition and the rest is all assigned to your root partition with of course butterfest as your default file system and next okay user account time let's just keep it super simple we'll call this one fishboy type in our password and i'd usually log in automatically without asking for a password but i want to see what the login screen looks like when we first start up so we'll leave that box unchecked for now and then go to the summary and as long as we've made no mistakes we can press install and i'll pause the video here and i'll come back once it's finished so the installation has complete without any issues on my machine so we can now reboot and check our freshly installed cute fish os so we've just rebooted and we're using a standard grub screen here but as you can see it's still currently listed under ubuntu so let's jump into it right so we've just started up and here we are at the login screen so it's not looking too bad there's quite a nicely thing but let's just jump straight into the desktop okay here we go so the first thing it's jumped up with is the update notifier so let's just see exactly what we are going to be installing and upgrading so it doesn't appear to be too much there so i'm just going to press apply and pause the video while this is updating and then we'll come back to it once that's finished okay interestingly it's just said upgrade finish with some errors i've failed to download packages check your internet connection interesting we are definitely connected to the internet via ethernet so i'm not too worried about that at the moment again this is all very much beta and new so i wouldn't worry about little things like that instead what we're going to do is we're going to go and see if there's anything we can upgrade from in here so we have this package here called cute fish full upgrades let's go ahead and see if that works or if we're just going to have to pretend that the internet's not working for now okay so that appears to be working by updating the cache that should be all good so i'll pause the video here let it do its full upgrade and then we'll come back to it once it's finished right so it's gone ahead and upgraded us without any issues whatsoever and it's also gone ahead and updated the kernel which is now on version 5.11.0-34 and before that it was dash of 31. so it is prompting us to do a reboot so we'll do that now and then we can start taking a look around and here we are so i think before we go over the desktop environment and see what's changed for the default look and feel since the last time i checked it out we'll quickly pop open up a terminal and check a few details out and then we'll keep it moving so the default terminal are very transparent out of the box perhaps a little too transparent at least for me and now first up we're just going to confirm that we are indeed using bash as our default shell so we're going to type in shell so as you can see there we are indeed using bash and we're now going to do the same for x11 or waden to see which one we have defaulted to so we're going to go echo xdg session type and then that is going to tell us that we are indeed using x11 and not weyland now one more thing we are going to type in lsblk and see if it has indeed set up the zram which it has indeed so we have our three standard partitions right about here and then we can see we have four separate entries for zram all at 1.7 gb in size so with that out of the way let's go over the default desktops look and feel now i'm someone that this kind of workflow and layout really appeals to i'm always someone that has a dock at the bottom and a panel at the top or if i'm feeling a bit fancy i might chuck the panel on the left but the panel always at the top and i usually always implement a dock of some description now when i first checked out cute fish over on manjaro the dock was kind of still very primitive there wasn't a lot of options you could do it looks very much the same as it did but i don't remember us being able to do things like also hired or intelligent hide at that current time but i do believe that has now been implemented in cute fish os so we can check that out as well so by default you put these nice rounded corners on the dock and as you can see it is slightly raised from the bottom edge of our screen and it's got a nice bit of transparency there and we'll check out with the dark theme in just a moment as well so here is your application launcher and it's going to be a full screen application launcher at the very left hand side and with a right click now on the actual icons for the applications themselves we can either choose open or unpin so if we go into our full screen application launcher and let's just right click on anything here so here we can do open center docs that will pin that to your dock and then we can also uninstall from here i'm interested to see how that works so we'll check that out towards the end of the video and see if it can actually just uninstall from our application launcher like so now let's go back into our dock and let's see if we can just drag and drop things to their own location we can indeed and let's see if it mimics that kind of mac-like behavior when you drag an icon off will it just sort of remove it no so it's just going to pin it back so of course to remove it you are just going to have to unpin now a right click on the desktop will give you the sort of standard stuff you'll find in the menu on the right click for new folder select all open in terminal change background and properties and let's just see if we can indeed get full desktop icon support so test and there we go so that's created a nice new desktop folder there right on our desktop i quite like to have a very clean desktop so i'm not someone that usually clutters my desktop with icons but i know a lot of people still do like to have desktop icon support on their distributions now moving towards the top when i first checked out again the panel didn't have a whole lot of features going for it and i remember them sort of posting on their twitter that they are going to be implementing a global menu so we're going to see how that all works but we'll start from the top right so we have our clock clicking that at the moment appears to do nothing we then have our power button so that's then going to give you sort of all of your options for reboot shutdown etc and it appears that we're missing one yeah that should be our volume icon i'm not quite sure what's happened there we might do a login and log back out to see why our volume icon isn't appearing as it should in fact our entire volume is not there so there should also be a volume slider there in this kind of little control center so i think i will quickly investigate why that is and then we'll come back to it and we're back yeah i'm not sure what happened there but a quick log out and log back in there's fixed it so now our volume icon is back there and then as you can see we have the volume slider and it's all sort of appearing as it should so clicking the volume icon in your sort of top panel is then going to expose kind of like a a little control center if you like which has got quick toggles for your wi-fi dark mode and we can also jump into the settings and again we have another power button here and then we have the full date now it's a very quick toggle just to change to the dark theme so no waiting around and it should work with an application open you shouldn't need to close the application to repaint the window in the new theme so let's give that a go there you go so a very nice smooth transition from the dark to light light to dark theming we'll check out their default file manager in a little moment but again all of their applications are going to have the very nice uniform look with the rounded corners so now that our volume is back and working after that random little moment we had to log in and log back out again very much newman beta so little things like this are expected to happen let's see if these sort of shortcuts on the keyboard are working to control the volume so we're going to leave the slider open so we can watch it no it doesn't appear to let's close it and then try that once more and let's see if that volume has changed any position at all no so it's not working with my keyboard shortcuts for the actual volume control let's try and mute no so that's something that will need to be implemented in future releases okay and then we have our current sort of keyboard layout which for me is gb so you have a little sort of great britain flag right there now in this part of the screen we should start to see some global menus appear with certain applications i wouldn't imagine it'll work with all applications there's some that just don't work very well global menus but the one that i would expect to work quite well would be their own in-house applications like their file manager so as you can see we have the application title here of file manager and then we have some actual options here that would sort of be in the settings window itself but now we can actually get it in the top left of our global menu so we'll see what applications work and what don't and i'm also going to install a couple myself to see if it's all will pick it up properly and work with things that are a bit more involved that have more settings the one i usually test it with is caden live because there's a lot of settings in caden live that having a woman who does help with but as you can see there we do have the file edit and help options that are present in the file manager working in our global menu okay cool now what i also want to do is just make sure that we have got side-by-side snapping as well as four-way split there we go so we can tile windows in a four-way grid or we can of course just do the side-by-side and then dragging it back we'll then restore it to its sort of standard previous size now when you maximize an application by default your dock is going to stay on the screen and because of the sort of spacing around it and the rounded corners and all of that good stuff you are going to have a lot of wasted screen space when you don't have the dock hide like that so what i think we'll probably do is we'll now jump into the settings so there's a new settings apparently and i did see two settings us when i check this out so we have the settings manager and then we have the settings so i think it's the settings that we really want to jump into which is the actual settings for the desktop and here we go so we have wireless lan and ethernet and then we have our display options so here we're currently not using multi-screen so we've got that grayed out but we've got the resolution the refresh rate and we also have screen rotation so if you're someone of a multi-monitor setup that has one in that kind of portrait kind of mode there that's when you can sort of change that for that to make a bit more sense of those kind of screen orientations we can change our scaling from here as well and now if we go into appearance here's where we can change the theme as well as just jumping straight into the little toggle at the top here so we have the light and dark and we have this option here to dim the wallpaper and dark theme i'm not someone who would use this personally i think it looks a bit strange but let's go into the dark theme and then just show you how that works so that's just going to dim it a little bit bring the contrast and brightness down and make it sort of look a bit more cohesive at least with the dark theme but for me i don't think it quite looks right and i think having the wallpaper as it's intended is much better especially with the wallpaper selection they have a very nice selection of wallpapers that complement the overall look and feel of the desktop so then we also have system effects so like i said in the beginning if you've got a machine that just doesn't handle the system effects very well if you press this toggle that's going to go ahead and remove all of your rounded corners so you can now see it's complete straight edges and the transparency is gone and that really does date the way the actual desktop looks let's go back into the normal mode and there we go and then just beneath that we have accent colors with a few to choose from here and of course your accent colors are going to be things like this little toggle here and your file manager and sort of your side panel here you can see it's blue in your title bar as well and if we just quickly change it to let's say the green you can see that that's now changed as well as the outline there and then we also have the green in our file manager there as well however i quite like the blue so we'll leave it on the blue there but we have around six different accent colors to choose from out of the box and now for fonts for the general we're using annie and in for the fix font we're using deja vu sound mono we didn't have some pre-configured sizes for the actual fonting so we have small medium large and huge hinting is on slight but we can also again go none slight medium and full and then we also have anti-aliasing anti-aliasing enabled out of the box like i said the wallpaper selection has been very nice since the first time i checked it out there's not a whole lot there but the ones that are there do fit really well the overall theme and aesthetic of the desktop and then we can also go by color as well but let's leave it on the picture so for the dock here's where we're going to spend a little bit of time on and make sure it's all working with the sort of intelligent smart hide features of the dock at the bottom so we have three different screen positions of which we can place the dock with of course the only missing one being the top as that's where your panel is going to occupy but the default is bottom now we can chuck it on the left which is probably what i'll switch between bottom or left depending on my mood but if you're one of those people that likes on the right you can also chuck it there on the right as well but we'll leave it on the bottom for now and then we have some pre-configured sizes which are small medium large and huge personally i would like a bit more control over that's the sort of numbers i could go to but the small is just about right for what i would like it i'm certainly does like quite a small dock with quite a few applications on it that way it doesn't take up too much space but i still have quite a lot of applications i use on a regular basis default being medium and then we have large and then we have huge so we'll leave it on medium for the rest of the video so it's easy to see what's going on as we're going through the desktop and now for display modes this is what i'm most sort of intrigued about or sort of want to check out the most so like we said when you full screen or maximize an application you're going to have a lot of wasted space there which is where things like always hide and smart hide will come in handy so the default is the always show so no matter what's happening on your screen if a window interacts with it that is always going to be on top of those windows like so and then we have always hide which is basically opposite of that that's always going to be hidden from sort of your view until you move your mouse just below that and then it will then sort of reappear and disappear now the pressure on that actually now the pressure on the sort of reveal sensitivity there is not too bad whatsoever and then we have what would be my sort of preferred one which is smart hide or intellihide so let's go ahead and enable smart hide so now the dock as long as nothing's interfering with it or you haven't got an application taking up full screen that is always going to be on your screen until you interact with a window okay interesting so it's not interacting with windows like so so i imagine that's only going to come into effect when you sort of maximize a window like so and then your dock is going to disappear and again you can always get back to it by just moving your mouse to the bottom or left or right of your screen or if we just restore it to its normal size your dock will then reappear now i'm going to leave it on smart hide and now let's go through some of these other options in the settings itself so we have the user and not too much to really look at they're quite self-explanatory and then we have the mouse and there are some new features here of the mail so we've got left hand we have natural scrolling we can change the point of speed and then we have the different theming for the light and dark themes and the default theme it is using for the mouse cursor is breeze and breeze light so from kde and then we have a date and time we have language we have battery which we can't currently show because i'm on my laptop not on my laptop and then we have the power mode which i'm quite intrigued to see how this works we're currently on the default of power save so if we just go ahead and click this we're probably going to need a pseudo password for this because it's going to be changing let's go ahead and type in our password okay it doesn't appear to want to do it okay we are in a beta so i'm not too concerned about that but as you can see cute fish cpu freck so if you've used sort of cpu fracture change things like that before you're going to know how that all works but for the moment at least on my machine i can't go ahead and use it in fact let's try maybe it's the end term not quite liking it let's see if we can just select it with a mouse no okay we won't worry about that for now then we'll leave that as is and then the last page we have the about page and as you can see we are on my distro testing system at the moment so i think what we'll do is we'll close that we'll spend a little bit of time now going over some of the default applications and take a bit of notice of what is going to be working with the global menu and what's not and then we'll start playing around with a few different things and then sort of start to wrap things up i do want to see how much ram is using the fresh boot before i install anything of my own note so in fact we'll do that now before we start taking a look around so do we have paint shop installed we don't so we are going to install h top as of course we are based on ubuntu we are going to be using apps for the sort of package management of course they do have their own package manager of tap but i think that's only going to really be for sort of cute fish stuff in the q fish repository but we'll double check that in just a moment so let's go ahead and type in cheeto app install so install h top we'll do a reboot see how much ram we're using and then we'll start playing around the applications and we're back from a fresh reboot and as you can see from the output of htop there the memory usage isn't really too bad all things considered so we're sitting at just over 700 mb around about 723 and for a desktop distribution like itself with a lot of sort of packages installed out of the box and desktop effects and transparency and all of that good stuff 723 isn't really too bad when you consider all of those factors so i think what we'll do is we'll close this off now and let's have a look at the actual application set that we are going to be getting out of the box on cute fish os remembering that we have got a lot of the melee kit suite of applications as well so first up we have discord now i am someone that does use discord quite a lot so i'm happy to see that and if you want to join the tigers tech discord server there'll be a link in the description below we didn't have the settings manager which of course is different from the settings let's just quickly open that up and see what we've got here okay so you've got the configuration center where we can further change things for your appearance brightness date and time file associations monitor settings locale keyboard and mouse etc let's just jump into the appearance quickly and see what that does okay so that's going to open up the qt appearance configuration okay let's keep it moving so then we have etcher which is a little gui to sort of burn sort of isos onto usbs if you don't want to use dd you can use a nice little gui there of etcher we have our bluetooth manager we then have the calculator which is a very simple sort of sleek well-designed calculator that fits with the overall aesthetic of the desktop environment we have no options there for the global menu let's keep it moving we didn't have our file manager which we've checked out a little bit but for those of you that have never seen this file manager before very simple file manager of your left sidebar for your favorite sort of places in your home folder as well as your trash and then we have our drives and then we can also change the view from icons to list and then we can also change the sort of the way it's sorted by name and all of that good stuff very simple file manager and then we do have the full sort of path that we can type in in the top bar there as well let's keep it moving so that was the default file manager we didn't have a screenshot tool but i can also see at the bottom here we have spectacle as well so let's see what the screenshot tool does okay so the screenshot tool is just a selector so to select a current part of whatever you've got on your screen there press that button there and it should have saved that into our pictures folder or failing that it will be in our clip board so instead of going to our pictures i think that's probably just going ahead and just copy it into our clipboard i'll confirm that towards the end of the video so that's the default screenshot tool there we then have the settings which we've just gone over we have their terminal and then we have mpv media player we have communicator and then we have index so this is one of the mail we kit applications so there we go now index looks a whole lot better in my opinion when you're using a dark theme so let me just quickly change it over our volume icon has disappeared once more there we go so that's the default look that you are going to get with index it's currently in kind of a listy kind of view let's go into a grid and there we go like i said i've sort of displayed this quite a bit on my previous video of new tricks if you want to learn a little bit more about that and i'll also link the mail we kit sort of website in the description below for those of you that are more interested as well so i guess you've got a choice of two file managers if you sort of prefer one and don't like the other and want to slim things down you can always sort of remove the one that you don't want to use and then we have the moan package manager which is much like synaptic so it's a gooey place to manage all of your sort of package installations removals and all of that good stuff and while we're here we can also go to the bottom here and see how much packages we actually have installed out of the box and we have quite a bit actually so we have just short of two thousand at one thousand nine hundred and eight now moon you will find that a lot of qt distributions like i do believe ubuntu still uses it as its default package manager as well and as we can see that is working with the full global media support so that's nice to see and let's keep it moving so then we have a nota again a malwarekit application so a simple little sort of text editor if you like let's close that off and keep it moving we then have pics again another melvika application just a simple sort of picture gallery let's go ahead and change it back to the light theme and there we go and again that would work with all the windows snapping and these applications are dynamic across different devices so you can also get it for your android smartphone and all of that good stuff then have shelf another mail wiki application for sort of documents i do believe it's got ebook support as well so you've got all your documents and books in this application off shelf and then we have station again another mail wicket application which i've shown in previous videos that use mel wiki apps and again station is one of those applications that does took a whole lot better with a dark theme like so let's close that off and keep it moving we then have a wave which is a music player clip for clips qpdf view we have the desktop package of telegram and then we have the qt version of transmission via torrent files we have the cute fish full upgrade which we use at the beginning of the video when the standard upgrade failed in the update notifier and then we have a startup disk creator so we also have etcher as well as the startup disk creator and then we have my favorite media player of all for video files or vlc and as you can see there vlc is one that has a lot of settings and again that is working with the full global menu support and let's just quickly go into the dark theme and see how that looks with the drop down there yeah i like it not too bad so it is also transparent on the actual drop down menus there now let's close it back off and keep it moving so that was vrc so i'm happy to see that the global menu by and large does work with most of the applications that we've seen so far we didn't have arc and then we have my favorite music player when we're using sort of qt or kde kind of distributions here and it's one that i use quite a lot especially on sort of kde and the most recent version of manjaro i do believe that their kde version is now defaulted to releaser as well so a very capable nice way to manage your music library with elisa let's keep it moving we didn't have firefox as our default web browser i'll be surprised if this has got any global menu support because firefox has always been a bit of a nightmare of global menus and as you can see there they do not have global menu support for firefox it can be done so i'd be intrigued to see if that does sort of make up an appearance in future versions but for now no global menu support for firefox let's keep it moving we're gonna have gwenview and then we have i do believe is camoso which is a webcam viewer i think that's what it is let's open it up i do have a webcam plugged in so i'll we'll see what that's actually pointing okay i can see it so let's have a look there we go it took a little while to start up there but you can just about see the top of my head a studio light and a deck there there we go good stuff let's keep it moving and then we have kate the text editor again that should work with your full global menu support like so very nice and now let's see what else we've got so we're at the end here we didn't have spectacle and scan light so i'm going to imagine for the screen shotting for a full screenshot of your actual whole desktop if you use the print screen key on your keyboard that should default to spectacle let's have a look there we go so print screen will default to spectacle and then you have the other screenshot tool to take snippets and i'm going to imagine that will go straight into your clipboard but again i'll confirm that in just a moment so i think what we should probably do is just have a quick look at their package manager we won't spend a whole lot of time on it because again i don't think it's for anything other than cute fish kind of stuff but we're just going to type in tap and see what the usage is so we can install packages of install update upgrade search and a list of packages so that's what we're going to do so this is going to list installed packages let's see actually what packages have been installed from the tap package manager so we're just going to type in tap list can we tab it we can indeed yeah so like i thought all of the cute fish kind of stuff appears it's going to be coming from here and that's where it's going to be sort of maintained so as you can see here you've got your cute fish launcher qfs settings etc so then we have apps for sort of other sort of main sort of package applications from some of the ubuntu repositories as well okay so that's tap let's just close that off and keep it moving now what i am intrigued about so we know that we've got the moon package manager but do we have anything like snap or flat pack support out of the box let's have a look so we're going to open up our very trunk in fact i'm going to stop using that terminal for the moment and we're going to open up station because it'll be a bit easier to see what's going on on video so first of all we're going to check the snapshot no snap support out of the box and now let's try flat back and there are no flat pack support out of the box okay so i wonder if they're going to integrate flat pack or snap in future versions as well so i think what we're going to do then we're going to install a few applications of our own and make sure that's all work with the theming and with the global menu the main one being caden live because that does usually work very nicely of uh global menus and we'll also install and we'll use that to test out the um screenshot on whether it's gone to the clipboard or not so we're gonna go sudo app install and let's go for k and live and let's go for and i think that's all we're really going to need for this video yeah i think we'll leave it at that our applications have been installed and i also decided to install time shift as well so as we're using butterfs as the default file system i'm going to assume the sub volumes are set up in the ubuntu style so butterfs snapshot should work by default with timeshift i just wanted to confirm that as well check that out as well but first up let's open up kaden live and see if it's working with the global menu without any problems so it's just loading now and there we go full global menu support with caden live as one would expect so global menu is pretty much working flawlessly but again there are going to be applications that just don't support global menus without a lot of sort of work like firefox but for now all is good now what i want to do is just quickly test out whether that is actually copying a screenshot into our clipboard so we're going to take a little screenshot of any old random part on our desktop we also can imagine that's a save as well so that's automatically going to save that to your desktop so i think i am right and imagining that it will take it of your actual sort of screenshot and then take it into your clipboard so let's go ahead and just press at the tick button and now we're going to go into now and now over ctrl v let's see if it has actually copied that to our clipboard it hasn't so that doesn't appear to be set up to be working to copy into our clipboard but we can press the sort of down arrow and then it will save it onto our desktop like so okay not too much to worry about there now last but not least before we wrap things up let's see if the sub volumes are set up properly for time shift and snapshots of butter fs so select a snapshot type butterfs yes yes and yes and i've finished and now let's just quickly create one and make sure we've got no errors there and there we go so that's all working out of the box as well and i think that is about where i'm going to wrap it up with my first look of cute fish os now there was just one more thing that i wanted to check out before we wrap things up and that was the right click uninstall now i don't hold out a lot of hope for this working yet but let's give it a go so let's give it a few seconds before i completely sort of wrap it up there and no i don't think that's going to work so again we are in beta so things like that will need to be properly fleshed out before we get to a final release but it's little things like that that will make it more welcoming to a new user to get sort of to grips with their system and that is where i'm going to wrap up with my look at cute fish os now all in all i'm quite happy with the direction that cute fish os is going in and i do actually think the desktop itself does have a lot of potential of course as we're currently in beta there are a lot of things that need to be implemented properly and new things that need to be implemented before it could be really recommended as a daily driver but once that final release is out i do think it's a distribution i'm going to end up being happy to recommend to people especially those coming over from mac os and are more used to that way of working with things now some of the things i'm happy about in his current state is the implementation of butter fs so that was all working with the snapshots in time shift and i do like the fact that they are including the maori kit suite of applications as well so if you want to give this a go i'll leave a link in the description below always do remember this is a beta and not to sort of run it on your main machines
