Reborn Os Review · The Kernal
thekernal.xyz
Nowadays, many Linux distros, especially Arch based distro’s are all the same. They slap a new logo and desktop on there, and say it’s a brand new Linux distro like something that you’ve never seen before. For the longest time, that’s how I’ve seen Reborn OS. Arch with an installer. But now, after giving it a fair shot, It turns out it has quite a few nifty tools and tricks that I think really differentiate it from the others. I am going to give a brief explanation of some features that I think are worth mentioning, and maybe see if I can convince you to give Reborn OS a try.

    That’s interesting, thanks for sharing! Though personally i don’t understand why we need to make so many distros, i think it’s a symptom of some failure at some point in the software supply chain.

    It should be fun and trivial to build special packages on a special repository that package useful software and configurations. If it’s not and we have to build an entirely new distro (and rebuild/patch all packages in the long run) for trivial modifications, there’s a problem.

    I mean there’s hundreds of Debian/Ubuntu forks simply focusing on settings presets or a specific desktop environment. Of course there’s the official Debian blends and Ubuntu spins, but i feel like they’re mostly not addressing the issue. It should be trivial for me to take my favorite packages/settings for my favorite distro and turn that into a bootable iso that will apply my favorite settings without having to maintain an entire distro that’s going to be plagued by unapplied security patches sooner or later.
