Up front: I would say that Venom is best suited for experienced Linux users; therefore, my votes on ease, features, design, and support are based on that. ;) I have followed Venom for a couple of years now. The project interested me, because it provided a source-based distro that was quick and easy to install. The installation can be done in +/- 10 to 15 minutes! The latest release of Venom is like a dream come true...a very minimal Openbox system that's just waiting for the user to customize it however they want. :) As I have used it over the last 2 years, I have realized that I have a love/hate relationship with it... What I love: source-based, easy to install, has its own package manager, the developer is super friendly and helpful, has a fantastic group on Telegram, and...it is free of systemd (if that matters to you). What I hate: What I hate is my own fault...not the fault of Venom Linux! I don't have the best hardware! LOL! My computer only has 4 GBs of RAM and 2 CPUs. Despite that issue, I still use Venom Linux, because it is such a fantastic and enjoyable system. The developer has done something amazing here, and I would highly recommend Venom LInux. If you want to try a source-based distro that you can install quickly and easily, try Venom Linux!!! As a final note, pay attention to the readme file here on Sourceforge, so that you will get the basics down on how to manage your Venom Linux system. Thanks Emmett! You have done something incredible for the world...and I mean that!
