ROSA R11.1

Post by crosscourt »

Installed it tonite and what a pleasant surprise since my last experience. Kernel is now 5.4 but 5.8 is available. KDE is still at 5.14.4 unfortunately but its stable with no issues. Installation was very fast and the overall design of the desktop is the best Ive used with the RPM distros. They dont use the control center seen in other RPMs like PCLinuxOS,Mageia and OpenMandriva. All the needed items are part of system settings with install software available in favorites. Nice selection of software and up to date. Only issue was Bleachbit at would freeze and simply wouldnt work. No problem as I used Sweeper instead with no issues. Chromium and Firefox were available with Libreoffice. Didnt have to install many apps at all. Music it uses Clementine and it has the Rosa media player. Ill do some testing and report back. Exceptionally clean design and resource usage is only 400mb at GUI.
Hard to believe its ranked 96 on Distrowatch given how nice this distro is to use.

Multimedia tests went fine, all hardware was recognized so time to play with it a bit.
