The button's icons were large, and I couldn't find a way to make them smaller... (It's been forever since I used OpenOffice... lol)

Found it. Lol. I changed the screen resolution to 1024 x 768. This is much better. :)

I'm messing with it in VMware. I wish i could get the glass effect, but its still nice.

i'd honestly say even without the visual effects, its the best looking OS distro i've ever toyed with.

So far my only suggestion is to make the title bars thinner. They seem way to thick/tall.

but over all really good.

Yes, making the title bars thinner would be nice. Especially at lower resolutions.

And yeah, I can't get the glass effect to work either... But oh well.

VMware or a full install?

i can't get the effects of any linux distro to work in vmware, so its not a handicap of Fusion. Mostly gnome.

In VMware... But if it's a thing that affects all Linux distros, then perhaps there's nothing that can be done, I guess...

While installing, found a typo and a character that maybe has to be removed:

typo

remove this?

And wow, I can already open the browser while still installing? Great :p Is this with every linux distro?

BTW, seeded the torrent almost 10GB :cool:

Just installed Fusion OS. It's a virtual machine on my Windows 7 computer. I use VMWare Player.

I was wondering why it was running so darn slow... Then I realized that only 256 MB of RAM was dedicated to the OS. Bumping that up to 1 GB helped out a lot! :D

Everything looks great so far! I like how you give the user stuff to do while the OS is installing... :)

Okay, I loaded it, and when the login screen appeared, I noticed that the power button on the bottom-right corner was partly off of the screen... Only half of it was visible... Lol. So that might have to be attended to...

Otherwise, everything seemed fine, except for one thing: By default, VMWare Player had the OS running at a screen resolution of 800 by 600, and it just wasn't... designed for that in mind. Some of the Preferences windows did not fit entirely on the screen, so the OK and Cancel buttons at the bottom could not be reached, and when I was using LibreOffice, it was just crowded. The button's icons were large, and I couldn't find a way to make them smaller... (It's been forever since I used OpenOffice... lol)

So, perhaps, keep that in mind for the future... Anyway, other than that, it was fine. The only other issue I had was Chromium not displaying Neowin.net well, but that's an issue I can bring up with the site itself. Lol. :)

Thank you, and I will look into the issue with the Glass effects and other visuals not working. What I am thinking at this point is that it is VMware, try VirtualBox I know they work 100% snd full screen resoltuons.

Thanks, we really appreciate these uplifting comments from you all, and they will be added to the website soon. I will make the borders thinner in the next release when the visual theme is corrected. Also see the above post for your problem with the visual effects/ VMware.

Thanks so much for finding these! The installer was worked on at the last minute so, that probably explains the typos. And yes, technically any distro could let you open the web browser if they use Ubiquity and link you to something. (Not sure about other installers.) Also I really want to thank your for your continued support of the project by finding and reporting bugs, and consistently seeding the torrents! :yes:

Any plans for a 64-bit version?

Brando212 is correct, there will not be a 64-bit release for the version 1.0 final. However there will be in the future!

Why is "additional drivers" not installed by default btw?

Sorry, will be included in future releases! :blush:

Any way someone here can compose a video demoing the features of Fusion? I'm really curious, but I can't spare the bandwidth to download it.

I would be able to do that, but at the moment I am out of town for the next week. However, if your willing to wait I can make a video demo when I get back.

      They're too big to fail at this point. Even if Microsoft shutters entire divisions tomorrow, they'll be in the green for a long time because of how entrenched they are in the enterprise sector. Just look at politics. The people in charge are often some of the dumbest specimens humanity has ever produced. And yet, countries aren't crashing and burning every other day.
    • Exchange Online receiving one of its "most requested" features next month

      Exchange Online receiving one of its "most requested" features next month by Usama Jawad While most people are familiar with Outlook as their email client, especially within organizations deeply entrenched in the Microsoft stack, it is actually Exchange which powers the backend for this platform. What this means is that any enhancement to Exchange also gets flown downstream to Outlook. As such, Outlook users and IT admins will be pleased to know that Exchange Online is getting one of its "most requested" enhancements. Essentially, Message Recall will soon start working in cross-tenant environments. Previously, it only worked within a single tenant, which meant that if you wanted to recall an email accidentally sent to an external user, you were out of luck. Customers told Microsoft that they disliked this gap, especially when the two organizations emailing each other had trust between them. As such, Microsoft has decided to implement the Message Recall experience cross-tenant as well. Since the basis of this functionality is trust, IT admins will need to add each other in an allow list to enable this capability. Control rests with the recipient, so if Company A wants to recall a message sent to Company B, it is necessary that the latter adds Company A to the designated allow list. If they do not add the company to the allow list, recall attempts will fail with an appropriate error message. This feature is disabled by default, so IT admins will need to add at least one external tenant to their allow list first. The following Exchange Online PowerShell command will toggle cross-tenant Message Recall: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -CrossTenantRecallEnabled [$true | $false] And the cmdlet below will allow you to manage your allow list: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -AllowedSenderTenantIds @{Add="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"}; {Remove="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"} Cross-tenant recall works exactly as it does in intra-tenant environments. It is especially useful when communicating with trusted partners, subsidiaries, contractors, and more. Microsoft will begin rolling it out to worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD and Microsoft 365 environments operated by 21Vianet from mid-August, with completion planned for mid-September.
