Very responsive and fast, even though I am testing it on VirtualBox, it is on per with Puppy Linux if not lighter.

Software selection is excellent, all the basic computing for average office user can be done by installing only the Standard Desktop Profile. Windows user first time in Linux will feel at home. All in all a very stable and work oriented OS. Will give it a go in my old Lenovo T61 where currently PCLinuxOS reside.

  1. Desktop Profiler – When installing Q4OS, this tool allows selecting between 3 profiles (wording might be different); core(few pkgs), basic(some more pkgs) and standard(a few more pkgs).
  2. .esh installers – You can think of these as .exe files that help users install popular/useful pkgs with a few cliks, like Google Chrome Firefox, TeamViewer and more.

Depends on your definition of ‘new’. Q4OS has been around, in popular use, since at least 2014. It may be ‘new’ in comparison to Slackware, Debian, or Gentoo but is older than many other distros.
