A word of caution.
> WARNING: This will erase everything on the laptop you install it on. Please make backups before beginning.
I ran it a few months back without reading everything. I was trying a bunch of different linux distros via bootable USB drives, when I tried this one and it wiped the underlying drive.
Luckily enough it was just a test machine, I didn't lose anything crucial.
- stavros 11mo agoIt didn't ask you to confirm it would wipe things? You just booted and the data was gone? That seems like a massively user-hostile choice.
- lucaslazarus 11mo agoWhat did you think they meant by distraction-free? Vibes? Essays? Papers?
- __del__ 11mo agoIt's not abundantly clear that merely booting this operating system FORMATS YOUR DISK. Yes, there's a grub menu, but it has something like a 2 second timeout before it destroys all your data.
- lucaslazarus 11mo agoYes, of course that is terrible and should be made way more clear. My response was a joke about how it technically sure does eliminate distractions.
