Q4OS 3.10 - Don't believe the reviews
Added 2020-04-11 02:34:35 +0000 UTCWhen I do look at unfamiliar distros in Distro Delves, I purposefully avoid other reviews or "spoilers" in general, so that my review is literally the first time I'm looking at it.
After producing this video, I went ahead and peeked and two other reviews of Q4OS. And I have one word for them:
Horseshit.
I started the Distro Delves series as an "anti-review" series because so many Linux distro reviewers out there simply rave about how great a distro is.
They typically install it in a VM, click around a little bit, and make the determination that its one of the best distros they've ever used.
Q4OS with Trinity is not functional for the daily user. Not without a lot of elbow grease, anyway. There's no Bluetooth, no network printers, poor network support in general, ancient display drivers, and the list goes on.
Is it a bad distro? Of course not.
But this is how MX Linux got drummed up so high - Linux distro reviews went on & on about how great it was and pointed out that it is #1 on Distro Watch.
I still get nasty comments about my MX Linux episode, and it wasn't even a negative review.
Anyway, Q4OS was fun to test but it is far from being anything you'd want to use for the long term.
Try it out in a VM. You might like it as much as I did :)
