A week just isn't enough time to review this Linux Distro, it is so unique and fresh it needs more time, so I am presenting this video as my initial musings in working with the OS and will be back soon to talk more about what I have learned along the way. The only way to truly review this kind of distro is to put it into daily use for as much time as needed to explore it throughly and learn the pros and the cons while in daily use. So that is my plan, more to come...
I suppose you might compare with with Intels ClearLinux or Fedora's Silverblue, but this is a completely different design. One thing I did not talk about was of course you can remove packages from your filesystem as well.
