wattOS R11 / Re: General Announcement
« on: July 24, 2019, 11:12:53 AM »
Greetings from the Highlands of Scotland.

I'm quite new to this forum, but have been using Watt R10 for a while now.

Please; no apologies for having a life! 

Thankyou for bringing Watt OS into the World.

As someone who is a reasonably competent "operator", but in no sense of the word a "technician", my own needs from an OS are fairly simplistic:

(i)  It actually works and does what was originally intended of it.  Not all distros are equal in this respect.
(ii)  It will run on low-end machinery and give a decent battery life when used on a laptop.
(iii)  It allows the performance of basic tasks such as browsing and dealing with documents and images.
(iv)  It can be added to as the need arises and it is difficult to break the system by doing so.
(v)  It is easy to re-trace your steps and fix it if (iv) results in breakage.

You can probably see from this how I came to settle on Watt OS in the first place...

My all-time favourite distro (and the one I still occasionally use on my old Eeepc 701 4G when I've screwed everthing else up...) is Easypeasy.

My machinery:

Mid 2007 iMac running El Capitan
MSI U180 running Watt R10 32-bit
Eeepc 701sd running Watt R10 32-bit
Eeepc 701 4G running Debian Jessie

Best Wishes to all.
