As claimed, it is minimalist while offering remarkable fluidity and a clean interface that can be adapted to various needs. The distro boots up very quickly. What I didn’t like as much was the download time, which took over an hour. They should look for a somewhat faster mirror.

I've been using Synex on my laptop for several weeks now, and it's definitely one of my favorite distributions. What makes Synex interesting?: (In my opinion). - Debian-based: Synex is based on Debian. This gives it access to a huge ecosystem of packages and a very mature foundation. It also offers both a stable Debian-based version and a semi-rolling release. - It’s minimalist, as it doesn’t come with much pre-installed software. - Different desktop environments: There are currently editions with KDE Plasma, GNOME, XFCE, MATE, LXDE, Openbox, IceWM, and COSMIC. - Older hardware: XFCE, LXDE, Openbox, or IceWM can be good options for a PC with limited resources. - Proprietary tools: Synex includes its own tools and repositories. For example, its Synex Package Manager features recommended applications with one-click installation and support for Flatpak. - Wizard for installing NVIDIA drivers. - Server: Synex also offers a Server edition with easy administration and support for ZFS, EXT4, XFS, and BTRFS.Reply from SynexPosted 2026-08-11

This looks like a good distro. But the problem is that we need a Torrent option for download please. SourceForge is dead slow, most of the time. And sometimes download fails, so I am wasting my 4G data.Reply from SynexPosted 2026-07-31
Hi joz! Hope you're doing well. We're currently working on an alternative download link to use. Soon we'll publish them in our website. Have a nice day! -
top first choice of new software to try 2026, it may compete with SUSE in many ways, I plan a startup alone, this can be on an external SSD to boot.Reply from SynexPosted 2026-07-31
