official Fusion OS

[JaykeBird]

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. :)

Please share ISO's hash, download complete going to test it very soon. :)

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.

[JaykeBird]

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:

Any plans for a 64-bit version?

[Brandon H Supervisor]

no 64bit for this first release afaik, maybe sometime in the future if the OS takes off well

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

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!

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.

Sounds good. I'll check back then.

[JaykeBird]

You know, the website still says that Beta 3 will be out in mid-July and... yeah... Needs to be updated and stuff...

[iFlaw]

My friends wants to install Fusion using a flash drive. He'll be using UNetbootin to achieve the same.

Are any extra files needed? He has the ISO.

This should work without any problems :)

Great!

Thanks for the quick response :)

[TheGhostWalker]

I have to say that the user interface in this stage of the OS is brilliant to me.

Keep up the good work!

Also, I have a little offer, check your inbox (private message) here on neowin ;).

Please do make a video. :)

I was thinking about trying some form off Linux, and this could be it! :p

[FMH]

A question please! How does the boot-up and shut-down times compare to Windows 7, on the same hardware?

I'll probably dual-boot this, when the RTM comes. So which one would have a better performance?

Thanks :)

[guitmz]

this os seems pretty amazing :)

[guitmz]

trully fking amazing OS!!!! i guess the best distro, the most beautiful and fast so far :| but it dont find my broadcom 4313 wireless :((((((((((

[51028220]

Has the project ended.....?

Oh no! This project is FAR from dead, we have been keeping quiet about the exciting new things we are doing. Stay tuned in the next few days, for our updates, I promise you WILL NOT be dissapointed..

[sikhwarrior]
