Only the Bluetooth connection with my headphone has an annoying problem: from time to time short gaps (just a few milliseconds) interrupt the sound stream.īut I'm pretty sure that developers will soon fix that. Stability was improved over 5.0rc3, and everything works as expected. I can still run SW packages downloaded for previous releases (4.0 and 5.0rc3): LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Obs-Studio, Teams, Zoom, VLC, and many others. I'm using Porteus 5.0 KDE since a few days.Īlmost perfect. I have no option other than give Porteus a 'fail'. It would still be a minimal system, less than the size of a CD. If I could make a request to the developer, it would be to either reinstate the 'Build Porteus' option on the website, or at least include a web browser pre-installed to the distribution. Now, it is a static system that is effectively unusable for people who need a web browser to connect to the www. Porteus used to be a great system that could be built online prior to download, so that one could have a ready to run operating system. This has proven itself to be a total waste of my time. What is the point of an operating system that cannot run installed applications? This is supposed to be a persistent live system. This makes this operating system utterly useless.

In other words, it is not possible to install a web browser that can actually be used. All there is is the install web browser option, again. I got a message that it has to copied from /tmp/ to the modules folder in order for it to survive a reboot.įurthermore, Firefox does not appear on the menu. I booted Porteus, and set the keyboard to my location/type. For future version I will keeping an eye on it. I will not be using it on a day to day basis as the programs that I download don't survive the next reboot, unfortunately. Should the devs fix this problem I think the os has a very good future. I have tried to follow the instructions but did not succeed in getting it to save for the next reboot. I managed to get the 5.0 to install on a usb stick, the os runs smoothly and is very quick, Its nice to have a choice of your favorite browser, but like your revue, I too was disappointed with persistance problem. Our FAQ page has tips on writing a good mini-review. Please include a few pros and a few cons, along with your overall impression of the operating system.
