Ses avantages? "immuable", et donc particulièrement sécurisée, rapidité, tout coule de source - Bureau KDE Plasma -, basé sius Gentoo, possibilité de mise à jour de par le terminal, si on veut la faire en dehors de Discover, très simplement : 1. "sudo luet repo update" 2. "sudo luet upgrade". Son inconvénient? Demande un minimum de connaissances en GNU Linux, afin de pouvoir l'utiliser au mieux. Cela ne m'étonnerait pas que Mocaccino OS devienne rapidement ma distribution GNU Linux la plus utilisée, et de loin. Was this review helpful?

So my review will mostly focus on the contrast between it and its predecessor, and how convenient it is to run in a virtual machine. Pros: * Has spice-vdagent in its official repos and is easy to set up for auto-rescalling of guest to host window and shared clipboard. * Package manager, Luet, is marginally faster than Sabayon's package manager, Entropy. * Adding extra repos is fairly easy and is done by installing those repos with Luet. * Luet is nicely verbose in its output like Entropy. * GNOME edition has a pretty icon theme by default. Cons: * Many packages you need to get from repos not enabled by default. * Upgrading one's system often leads to Luet installing the same version of many of your installed packages just from different repos or different builds. This can seem like an unnecessary use of disk space (in storing the packages before they're installed) and network. * Repos are missing several packages. In virtual machines, I don't need that many packages, but two I wanted were fastfetch and hyfetch and they were missing from MocaccinoOS' repos and I had to install them via following the upstream instructions instead. I also noticed that 0ad, supertux, supertuxkart, niri, jay, awesome, subversion, zed, julia, R, sagemath, sublime text, marvin, pymol, jmol, avogadro, openbabel, nerd fonts, texlive and texstudio, among others are missing from their repos (including their unstable repos). Granted, many of these can be installed via Flatpak or other cross-distro package managers. * Unlike Sabayon, MocaccinoOS doesn't have Portage pre-installed, so you cannot use it as a backup for installing extra packages.

I've been using their desktop edition with Plasma for the last two months and it has been having a solid performance. As it is based on gentoo linux I wish they would offer an RC/openRC init option as well. They do have a runit version but it is only for Mocaccino Micro and not the desktop version.
