This distro has own repositories, which contains cool packages that are not available in debian repositories. I use this distro on my PC with AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Nvidia RTX 2060. I use nouveau and it works better than nouveau on debian, because b1ack os has latest kernel with latest nouveau. And I am running this distro for a month now, and there's wasn't a single bug or crash caused by system. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 2026.07.12 Rating: 10 Date: 2026-08-11 Country: Russia Votes: 0 It’s the best Debian-based distro I’ve seen; I’d just add automatic Secure Boot support and the Calamares installer, since I ran into trouble setting up the source code and wasn't quite sure where to get the config for the st (suckless) terminal. Otherwise, I’d recommend this distro to almost everyone—it’s convenient and solid (just filling up the 500-character limit here). By the way, my first experience with Debian itself was a failure, so this distro really impressed me—I’m happy with it (Debian’s disk partitioning is complex and it lacked curl and wget, even though I speedran Gentoo in 2 hours and LFS—including BLFS—in 2 days) lol.

Been running it for two weeks now. Not a single crash. Not one. Everything just works — and I mean EVERYTHING. Wi-Fi connected on first boot, audio no issues, video playback smooth. Even my weird old printer worked out of the box. When does that ever happen? The look is exactly what I wanted. No ugly UI, no weird bright colors hurting my eyes at 2AM. Just clean, dark, and fast. Feels like the system actually respects me. And the speed? Holy crap. My laptop used to take 40 seconds to boot. Now it's like 12. Apps open before I finish clicking. No lag, no stutter. I've tried Arch, Fedora, Mint, PopOS — all fine, but b1ackos just gets out of my way. No bloated packages, no forced snaps, no nonsense. Just the tools I need and nothing else. The devs clearly know what they're doing. This feels like a finished product, not a beta. If you're tired of the mainstream distros and want something that actually feels solid and different — grab b1ackos. Honestly? Best distro I've used in years. Rating: 10/10 — not kidding. Installed it on my main machine. Zero regrets. Was this review helpful? Yes No
