Just downloaded WattOS-R12 yesterday and installed it on one of my laptops. I had used WattOS many years ago at the suggestion from a friend and found it to be quite user friendly. However, I moved on to other distros. As group leader of our local LUG, I was recently looking for different distros to download and present them to our group and I noticed the new release on Distro Watch. Now here is a operating system that can be used by beginners or seasoned Linux veterans that is not bloated. We can install what the user needs or wants and are not destined to remove unwanted programs to install those that they want. My LUG used to have a "go to" distro for very old or under-powered machines (Lubuntu) at our installfests. When the Lubuntu Team decided to move to the LXQT desktop and quit supporting LXDE back in 2018 we searched for another but that was when Watt was sort of in a holding pattern. The LXQT desktop is neither lean or beginner friendly in my opinion. Watt may be a solution to our dilemma. Are their plans to support 32 bit machines? I realize that many of the major distributions have already ceased their support but we have many older people moving to Linux and I really hate to tell Grandma that she has to buy a new computer.
