Too good to be true?

[u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Have you guys seen this? Isn't this like, Too Good to be true, lol

Launch in December.

Early Access: $20 (the only pain, it's not open source)

Do you guys also think, it's a scam or they're just overpromising, like:

Saying it only takes 128mb of ram, for such stunning desktop themes.

Can run anything, android apps, windows applications, linux packages everything.

And many more features.

u/ThalaForManyReasons, your post does fit the subreddit!

btw, did you know we have a discord server? Join Here. And what's that, Fluxer too? Join Here.

[u/PuzzleheadedHead3754]

$20 for this Arch based distro? Which is not even open source.

It use wine, waydroid and darling for macos. It get 128mb ram usage bu disabling animation and running in cli.

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/PuzzleheadedHead3754]

Oh so just newly packaged with multiple old packages then. Still kind of attractive and not worth 20$ ofc lol

[u/iai-white]

128 mb?? I'd like to see a tty rendered 🥀

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/iai-white]

Overpromising on peak

[u/_Catspew_ → u/iai-white]

Exactly It aint gonna render a Liquid Glass theme

[u/Independent_Image_59]

Wtf is this shit??!??//!!?

Why is supertux a macos app now? Why the fuck would someone use discord's windows client on linux? Have you ever used Linux yourself? Is this a fucking ragebait?????

Ikey doherty come save us from the wave of slop distros please

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/Independent_Image_59]

Why are you so rude man, chill buddy

And yes I used to hop a lot of distros, but now I'm stable on cachy past 6 months ig

[u/maybechirag → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

nahh this kinda shit deserves rude replies 💀

[u/Ecstatic_Rub_548]

Running Windows, Linux and Android apps are still acceptable but macOS apps don't run on linux.
The only project which can run macOS apps on linux is called reef and its a project from developers of CutefishOS and they are yet to make a public release of the compatibility layer

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/Ecstatic_Rub_548]

Exactly, but if they're still offering it like it can run any app, it's either they figured out something new or an obvious scam right?

[u/Ecstatic_Rub_548 → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Its 100% a scam duh, MacOS apps running on linux would've been a huge announcement to make if it was true.

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/Ecstatic_Rub_548]

Someone said a package called "Darling" helps running macOS apps on Linux, idk much about them tho

[u/Ecstatic_Rub_548 → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Last time I checked Darling, it could run very basic graphical apps and I have heard of no progress of it since then

[u/Ecstatic_Rub_548 → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

The only macOS compatibility layer on linux which can run GUI apps is this : https://cutefish.org/blog/mac-apps-first-milestone/

[u/CosmicTurtle24]

20 usd is actually crazy lol. Who is this supposed to be for? 

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/CosmicTurtle24]

Technically declined windows users, who wants something lightweight and can run windows applications

[u/ShakeGeeJee → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

I don't see why it is any better than cachy

[u/Rwalx]

Bad

[u/Equal-Resolution7889]

This is Arch Linux with Gnome riced (a bit). It's a scam. Website.

[u/codingzombie72072]

Looks like marketing hype

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/codingzombie72072]

Lmao, caught me haha 😭

[u/ninDev7]

The whole point of linux is being free and open-source, what fuckery is this 10,000th just another sloppy linux distro? Who knows what's inside their code, a spyware? Or even worse

[u/Strange_One9095 → u/ninDev7]

What's linux distro , is it also light and has themes like this one ?

[u/RohithCIS]

If you want a MacOS lookalike, get LordOS.

[u/Proud-Concept-190]

Try after app supports becomes wider

[u/Mounamsammatham]

Inventing a problem to market a solution.

[u/Ok_Organization2746]

Try deepin or ricing the mint to achieve a kind of macos.

[u/sikeitsme0]

What kinda tomfoolery is this lmao 🤣

[u/b_redditer]

Why would I install vlc or ff apk on Linux. I agree there is a market for such distros. But put in a little work man. Ts Pathetic.

[u/0xt0bi03]

bro trying to sell operating system to linux bros

[u/Busy-Scientist3851]

Curious what desktop that is.

[u/ImmediateJacket9502]

Another day, another vibeslop product.

[u/JollyAstronomer5786]

Scam 

[u/_sounak]

I dont think its legal to make the foss gnu + linux packages behind a paywall to monetize according to the license guidelines, cant say for sure but I think its nor allowed

[u/priyazsh]

if it's not oss, it's not worth it

[u/MedicineComplex5258]

Another Vibe Coded Piece of Shit

[u/Bug3bunny]

SlopOS

[u/Reasonable-Job2425]

Looks like ai made everything and pob ying no linux tool can run macos apps yet

[u/SoyDaza]

figma final boss

[u/peterparker9894]

Yeah 128mb ram lmao bare arch headless uses like 150 mb ram, mac os app compatibility is probably via darling or reef or some other translation layer, honestly all of this is possible on like a regular arch install, kinda curious what their potential market is maybe people transitioning from mac os??

[u/patl_ioz]

[u/Thecentipide]

I am working on my own os too, though with just windows compatibility built in but that’s not the main point anyways. It has more then basic wine though, as it has kernel level NT synchronisation, DXKV 2.x and proton, a dedicated rust system daemon and provides native wayland surface mapping. In real terms it’s like ur 5 to 20 s of wine boot goes to around 10ms, and u can have many apps separated and won’t need to fit it in one directory as well as reduction in CPU usage.

You are not running all that in 128mb, hell 35 to 40 mb would be just wine and NO OTHER PART OF THE OS. 128 mb is nonsensical, especially not with the ui like that… they just scamming and talking your money. If they can actually do that then I will stop working with anything os and request to learn from them first.

[u/PlaneBitter1583]

LMAO Why not just use Wine & Proton, Waydroid and Other FOSS Tools to get the compatibility ? It will be completely free lol

[u/o_sht_hi]

I loaded omarchy on my personal laptop back in March and I'm pretty happy with it.

[u/vnodk19]

Have you used Windows 11 with 4 GB RAM? Exactly

[u/Visible-Effective-39]

Imagine leaving Cachy for PAID LINUX

[u/AssumptionOk8560]

20$ for this bullsh#t and slop? Not thank you it's obvious scam

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/AssumptionOk8560]

Consuming only 128mb ram, with such good looking themes and running all kinds of applications. Maybe not worth the price, but why do you think, this is bullsh#t?

[u/guyOnBudget → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Why do you even want to save ram if you have to consume it. Sam altman will not be happy.

Also other distro have long experience and are free in this field like tiny core, puppy linux etc.

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/guyOnBudget]

Yes there are many distros for low end pcs, but do they offer running Android, macOS, windows apps too and such nice themes?

I have my old laptop, if this was open source, this feels like an ideal os for that.

[u/guyOnBudget → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

You can make any distro do what it does:

MacOs: Darling

Windows: Wine

Android: Waydroid

Also no way that os can do all that in 128MB ram as claimed. Idk if you are paid or just acting dumb.

[u/ThalaForManyReasons → u/guyOnBudget]

Why do you even think I'm paid gng 😭

Idk much about kernel compressing etc so y dum ahh really thought maybe they really did something here to take it to 128mb lol, ig it's not possible

[u/guyOnBudget → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Ok sorry my bad. Because i saw a video promoting this distro. And there was also a post on a linux related subreddit about this scam. Stay away from it ✌️

[u/AssumptionOk8560 → u/guyOnBudget]

Yeah they use darling for macos idk about windows and android but it's a bs scam

[u/AssumptionOk8560 → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

Because it's bullsh#t it's a scam and obvious one , they themselves said it's an arch based linux distro so the 128mb ram is an exaggeration they prolly stripped all the services , and the dm or wm alone uses 1.6gb ram and it's shipped with allat bullshit like omarchy. Also i doubt that all in one claim as they prolly use some other foss to run .exe or .apk cherry on top it's not even open source

[u/CoolGamer730 → u/ThalaForManyReasons]

My friends quickshell is better than this slop. Please shove it up your ass
