Hi I have been using telos for 3 days It so was nice when it had the floating design across the desktop in the previous versions How can I install it ? but apart that I had to download steam that was not preinstalled Great system keep up the great work !!!Reply from TeLOS LinuxPosted 2021-09-20
Thanks for the review and your kind words! To activate the live wallpaper right click on your desktop and choose to change wallpaper. It is the Waves option. Enjoy! -
В общем доволен, даже на моём средненьком компе работает без нареканий, по сравнению с некоторыми легкими линукс осReply from TeLOS LinuxPosted 2021-05-23
Thank you for taking the time to talk about your experience of TeLOS Linux! Our priority is maximizing usability and ease of use in real-life situations -
It is a great idea and has a lot of promise. The criticism is that installation to a hard drive is based on some very poorly written directions about manually partitioning said drive and the installation of the Chrome Browser is also a bit vague. So it is a good distribution poorly packaged for users .Reply from TeLOS LinuxPosted 2021-04-20
Thank you for your honest user opinion on TeLOS, jobardu! You are right about the instructions, they are not universal and because of the very recent update of Calamares installer the instructions may be partially out-of-date. We will revise it ASAP. About Chrome, there is not much to say (pro or contra) that has not already been said. It's easy to use, easier to uninstall if not wanted. -
Ahora que puedo escribir la review (porque antes no se podía) la escribo. De todas las distros que he probado en lo que va de anho es de las peores (y yo soy de los que pruebo todo lo que se mueve). Para poner una valoración más detallada tendría que acordarme de lo que vi, pero así a golpe pronto: usar un navegador privativo, en su versión beta y que además está en el inicio automático. Yo te mandaba a varear olivos.Reply from TeLOS LinuxEdited 2021-04-04
Thank you for taking the time to try TeLOS and share your opinion with the Community! My 2 cents: 1. It's not wise to let your aversion to Chrome browser affect your opinion on a whole Operating System. A browser is just an application. It can be easily replaced, particularly from experienced users "that try all new distros". Some other, less experienced users might find the inclusion of the most popular browser a useful feature for them. By the way, browser autostart is disabled in TeLOS Linux Lite. Disabling it is literally 2 clicks away anyway! 2. I have my own trees to take care of plus another full time job. Thank you for your kind offer anyway 😊 ! P. S Writing a review here or on our Facebook page was open from very first minute TeLOS was released. And will stay like that, because all opinions matter. Enjoy distro hopping! -
The marriage of KDE and Gnome seems unique :), don't remember having seen this union before, even though lot of kde based distros have some gtk apps and dependencies. The animated background though uses lot of CPU and memory and keeps the fan running throughout the time it was enabled. The moment it was changed to static wallpaper the resource usage went down and the fan went back to normalcy. Hard dependency on some of the vlc libraries. Trying to remove vlc* indicated plasma will be removed as well so had to cherry pick what to remove. Similar thing happened with another app as well. Mem usage was 1.2GB + on live env, have to install and see if it drops down to < 500MB as advertised. Would be interesting to see how well it shapes up in future.Reply from TeLOS LinuxPosted 2021-03-16
Thanks for your genuine feedback! It is true that TeLOS Linux uses the best of both worlds. Will continue to do so with the only purpose to serve its users. Rejoice and enjoy!
