Good, easy install, clean install, not filled with filler apps. Based on FEDORA 43 ... Uses DNF . Very good choices. Also it uses CachyOS kernel .. Speedy and Snappy. Im not sure what else is much different from Fedora but the Cachyos Kernel is a nice start ... This is great for people who want am easy fedora 43 install with a fast Kernel pre installed. Itll be interesting to see where this project goes. Why it will stand out.. We shall see ..

Thanks for the kind words! Plan is to integrate Flatpak into the system as much as possible as if they were native. Already have it where when apps are installed it creates wrappers in /usr/local/bin so say for instance you install steam.. steam can be ran with just a "steam" command, which for steam thats useful because the .desktops all have steam as the command even for the flatpak. Atm I am working on a sane flatpak override service to set up common permissions and such out the box, theme integration and fixes for various flatpaks out the box. so people aren't spending all day setting up their apps . As IMO there are some pain points with some flatpaks out the box
