Some of them are immutable and atomic (not the case of Oreon though). They are designed for desktop use and include office and gaming software out of the box. Based on a solid core and Flatpaks, they allow for the creation of a complete and personalized desktop environment. I find this approach very interesting. So, I gave Oreon 10-2606 a chance and installed it on my hard drive. The installation is easy, straightforward and familiar to those accustomed to the RH/Fedora environment. The design is clean, polished and elegant (customized Gnome 49.4). The choice of pre-installed software is good and rational. This OS could easily become a real workhorse for office tasks. I highly recommend this project.

I like the idea of having a stable system based on an enterprise‑focused distribution, but in this case they aim to adapt it for home users. The desktop is very attractive, and the overall experience is thoughtfully designed. One of the aspects I enjoyed the most was the minimalist installer. However, there are a few details that could be improved. I tested this distro in a virtual machine, selecting all the available software options, and the installation took a while. The selections are numerous, but I wouldn’t expect the installation to take that long, perhaps it is due to the Flatpak apps. Also, I chose Brave as my browser, but it did not appear in the final installation. Again, these are small areas where the installer could improve, but I truly appreciate the minimalist approach, which I found delightful. I would rate it an 8. As mentioned, there are some areas for improvement, but I like the direction this distribution is taking and its focus. I hope it encourages the developers to continue with the project.

Basing it off Alma Linux was worth it, because it was really stable. Installing it is also super easy and straightforward. The community, though small, but really helpful, was a great help and was really nice, unlike many other communities. The Oreon project might be small, but great. There might be a few cavities here and there, but overall really nice. I can only recommend trying it. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 4 reader reviews of Oreon...
