Yeah me. lol. :p

Did you not have any friends that could help you seed the ISO?

I have to be blunt here, I really do like what you're shooting for here, and this project shows a lot of promise, but at some point you're going to have to facilitate the provision of better webhosting that can handle the traffic if you want your distro to be taken seriously. Not intended to be overly critical, but definitely keep up the good work

EDIT: Bumped my max upload to 512 KB/s to try and help do my bit

Oh really? How fast is the downspeed? I am uploading it for direct download now, but if porbably wont be done for a little while.

Hovering around 400 KB/s at the moment, I am so close to completion it's probably not worth giving me a direct download, but I will keep seeding at 512 KB/s for as long as I can

Downloading, once it is done, you guys will see someone from Belgium seeding :cool: :cool:

Seeding will be limited to 500kbps most of the time (sorry, have some other stuff to seed and setting it to max gives me overall slow network performances :-3 )

Well I got it all installed. Must say it is very windows 7 like in terms of layout.

Some first impressions:

The "Menu" option kind of confused me, until I realized it it literally the "Menu" bar. That's pretty cool, however if you could do it like mac where it is not grouped under one header (or have the option of both) that would be cool. It's extra clicking and searching.

Also, some programs don't have any options under the menu, would it be possible to not have it appear if there are no items to display?

For some reason screen resolution in Virtual Box, with latest guest additions, still only max rezzed at 1024x768, I am not sure if this is on your end, or on the virtual box end. I had it with as much vram as I could put, and 3d acceleration.

I tried to install the Dev Build of google Chrome. I downloaded the .deb file and went to run it. Sure enough it tried to unzip it, so after some googling I found that I had to run dpkg from terminal. That's fine, but it took me forever to find out how to run the terminal had to press like alt+f2 then type xterm (something like that). It would be nice if you could have the Terminal be on the task bar by default (maybe you can and I missed how to do it). Alternatively have it in your Start Menu.

Along with that, when I did try to do the dpkg it started but failed to install, is there known installation problems with some software?

Is the Search not working on the start menu? If I click in the search box it closes the menu. If I type, what I type appears but I can't do anything with it.

I would check for updates and every single time it would tell it it failed to download the repository list and to check my internet connection. The connection was fine, as I was able to browse the internet, and was able to download the 56 updates it did have for me.

This was all stuff I noticed within the first 15 minutes of playing around with it. I may find more if I get some more time to play with it.

Hey, I used Linux Live Usb Creator to make a live boot. I then used the direct install option on boot. I get to the installer fine but I want it to connect to my wireless (WPA2) and I put my key in then it asks me to unlock the keyring. What is the keyring password?

---EDIT---

Looks like the password was password. Might want to announce that.

Hey everyone thanks for all your replies and if iu all could, would you submit your suggestions through the feedback website at bugs.fusionos.net it will make it easier to keep track of bugs and suggestions! Thanks! But feel free to leave them here also so everyone can see them and respond.

- Keith.

I have a seedbox with a connection of 1GB/s, will happy seed it for a while.

I cannot download the torrent due to there is no tracker (DHT is disabled and cannot enable it).

If I have a direct download, I will happy seed it.

I will pm you some information later on a direct download, and thanks to Fus1on a user here on the forums he will be facilitating hosting for direct downloads! Thanks so much Fus1on!

    • The inconsistencies in the Windows interface have been plaguing us for so long that it has practically become a joke. I just wonder when we'll have a new Windows with a complete UI/UX as it used to be... oh how I miss that... 😔
    • I don't know if the Obamas are still involved with Netflix, but if they are like they were with a lot of influence, they could be the ones nudging Netflix into foreign shows. Just saying, nothing poltical meant by it. Peace

    • Microsoft Weekly: Xbox layoffs, upcoming Windows 11 changes, new Assassin's Creed, and more by Ivan Jenic This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft shaking up the gaming world with the biggest round of layoffs in Xbox history. We also talk about the upcoming changes across the Windows ecosystem, security, AI's increasing role in Microsoft's internal mechanisms, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Microsoft is constantly encouraging its customers to use AI wherever and whenever possible. But the company itself is also implementing more AI systems internally, especially in security systems and vulnerability detection. Windows chief Pavan Davuluri detailed how Microsoft is implementing a new AI agentic scanning harness, MDASH, into its own development pipeline to catch bugs faster and surface only high-confidence findings to engineers. Speaking of security, Kaspersky found a phishing campaign that abused Microsoft's device login flow. Attackers convinced victims to copy a real Microsoft one-time code and paste it into Microsoft's own sign-in page. Using this process, threat actors were able to gain access to victim’s accounts. The company also published a plain explainer of its update types, Patch Tuesday, optional preview updates, and out-of-band releases, for anyone confused by the terminology. Additionally, Microsoft also proposed a new update strategy to admins and users, which should help deliver safer Windows updates. Microsoft also finally fixed a bug that broke core Windows 11 UI components, including the Start menu, Search, Settings, Taskbar, and File Explorer, on certain provisioned PCs. The bug had been present since July 2025, and the fix comes as part of the June 23 C-release update (KB5095093), rolling out gradually ahead of full availability next Patch Tuesday. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Experimental Channel 26300.8772 for Windows 11 26H2 and 28120.2387 for 26H1 Beta Channel 28020.2380 for the 26H1 and 26220.8764 for standard Beta testers Builds for the Experimental channels brought in a few notable additions. Windows Insiders in these channels can now adjust the position and size of the taskbar. On top of that, there's the new Cloud Rebuild feature that allows you to reinstall Windows along with all your existing drivers, so you don't have to chase them manually. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 26H2 will enable the Windows Backup for Organizations app by default. The app will also be renamed to "Windows settings backup and restore." For anyone unfamiliar, this is an official Microsoft application designed to help organizations and enterprises backup and upgrade their systems. Microsoft is also considering redesigning PowerToys' Awake utility, with a streamlined flyout for its sleep-prevention modes and support for custom durations instead of just presets. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft is expanding Copilot into Forms and Word for iPad, adding contextual chat and collaborative editing Microsoft paused the rollout of Teams' revamped minimized meeting experience without giving a reason TypeScript 7.0 is out, 10x faster than 6.0 on key workflows, though the new API waits for 7.1 Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets a long list of new features and improvements Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 610.74 improves DLSS in three titles but doesn't fix any reported gaming bugs. The non-WHQL Intel graphics driver 32.0.101.8861 is bringing better support for some of the high-profile titles coming soon to PC.

Microsoft shook up the gaming community when it announced the biggest restructure in Xbox history, affecting 3,200 staff.

    • I installed it here on debian a couple of days ago. After nearly three years of GNOME I felt like a change. Still lots of tweaking to do but I think it's a keeper.
