Loved using it but there are some issues that I would like to see addressed in the next revision of Commodore OS. Mostly I think it would do better with a different UI maybe Cinnamon or KDE. The current Mate UI is kind of dated in order to bring that project into the future also it would help our new users to have a more friendly UI experience. Cinnamon might be a good choice since Mate and Cinnamon can easily port to each others GTK toolkit easily. Also if the ISO is shrunk to a reasonable size also. Currently the ISO size for version 3.0 is massive, While what it packs in is nice but it would help this distro to have smaller ISO image to make it easier for a first time user. Also with current spikes in pricing of Memory & Storage getting out of control, it would be more cost effective to have the extras setup as downloadable add-on's or in a different ISO from the base OS to make it more consumer friendly when downloading or installing the OS. I still give Commodore OS 3.0 a 8 but the only dropped it to that because of the issue listed above. I'm sure if those issues are addressed that rating will go up soon. Was this review helpful?

The OS has a very bold theme choice, and to be honest, works quite well. I prefer to use this desktop environment over Garuda Dr4g0n15ed, as Vision OS3 feels fantastic and as another reviewer mentioned, make me smile also. The TTS voice takes me back to the early 8bit Sound Blaster "Dr SBAITSO" era. Installing modern items, like Wireguard is just as simple as any other distro, so yeh this might become my mobile platform from now on. This makes me WANT to use my computer again. Now, to install my genuine purchased C64 ROM images for some gr8-bit fun! Was this review helpful?

One can rapidly feel at home in this distribution which definitely has "commodore DNA". The graphical theming of the user interface strongly reminds the commodore universe and the degree of detail and the overall coherence of everything testifies that a lot of commodore-love has flown into the development. Even if some style elements like the voice synthesis or some graphical effects might be overwhelming for some, these can be easily switched off. Thank You Commodore OS Team for this beautiful operating system. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 37 reader reviews of Commodore OS Vision...
