Exe Linux (distro): a waste of time

Posted by brainrot_award@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 11 comments

As I couldn't find any post about this distribution pretty much anywhere, I've decided to make one here, just so that other people could be aware of what's wrong with Exe Linux.

So, the reason why I tested it, as will probably be the case with most people that end up trying it out, was that I wanted a Trinity Desktop Environment-based distro. Exe is indeed TDE and it works fine.

However, from the start I found a huge problem: no GCC and no Clang. And a hell lot of other important packages also aren't available. It doesn't seem to share a package repository with Devuan, for some reason. Exe doesn't support btrfs/xfs either, and when I tried to see if the devs had any forum or community, I found out that the webpage is literally just the about section, and that's it. No community, no forums, no docs, no nothing.

Don't waste your time.
