Donated after day two of honeymoon
Posted: 10 Apr 2019, 00:27
Preaching to the choir I guess, but here goes ..
It only took two day before the fingers went magneticaly to the donate button. But not just because everything works on my low end Intel NUC (NUC6CAYH) - plenty of stuff does - but I found that Porteus seems well-engineered for it's use-case.
For a volunteer effort, I'm blown away at the seemingly right mix of convenient gui tools, yet ultimately there is enough interesting stuff left over for an intermediate end user to polish rough edges or customize themselves.
In other words, this is not a distro-hop destination - but one of the more you put into it, the more you get out of it - and on your own terms. Porteus kind of invites a long-term research / relationship thing, not just slam in a CD, boot, and post an online video of clicking around.
In my mind, from an end-user standpoint, there seems to be a *reason* for doing the things they do, and not just trying to be cute with gratuitous changes from your ordinary distro. That seems to indicate a long-term commitment trend.
Can you tell Porteus made my day? Thanks to ALL, users and devs rockin' this.
