Very pleased with this distro given its based on Debian testing. Ive used distros based on testing like SparkyLinux but Netrunner has been stable, fast and feature rich with no issues.

Huge number of updates including KDE 5.14.5 and a new 4.19 kernel version. With these updates its working fine with my Dell E6420 and the E series dock. Very pleased as I like this distro very much even with some of its niggles, but looking forward to seeing it improve.

Given its using Debian testing, Ive been impressed with its stability and speed. No issues and that hasnt always been the case with Netrunner but this time its been excellent. Frequent updates and apps work well. Extremely nice looking distro with some good features, and doesnt use Discover, instead it uses the Mint update system. My long term experience with it has been excellent. Its presently using KDE 5.14.5 and 4.19.0-4 kernel.

Recent updates have made it feel lighter and faster with lower resource usage as well.

This is the longest Ive run a particular distro for my personal use as I tend to distrohop quite a bit. Still using it everyday and it continues to be a solid, stable system.

Continuing to enjoy Netrunner and its become my everyday Linux distro. No update issues, love the mix of features that are derived from projects like Mint. When I compare it to Mageia 7 RC, Netrunner is by far the better distro in all respects.

I actually did a Buster install on the new 5289 now that Busters been full freeze for almost 3 months. Even though still TECHINICALLY testing, at this point it's going to be just as stable as stable given how far into the freeze it is.

Unless they have it set up to do like Manjaro does (and delay updates from the parent repo), there will start being things that break after 3-4 months of becoming unfrozen unless one actually reads the warnings. And even then, it'll still happen OCCASIONALLY.

Last two versions of Netrunner have been excellent and Im sure they will work it out. Its become a far more popular distro and gotten back to where it use to be.
