Thanks for amazing distro

Thanks to everyone who keep this distro goin'. Found it via Distrowatch. Always been a great fan of KDE3. Actually I'm a windows user, but needed something for my old Thinkpad R60. Love those  old machines! I'm not all that new to Linux in general. Q4OS fitted nicely. So once more. Thanks for all the work. Greetz fron the kingdom of Sweden...

Welcome to the community!  I'm also an admirer of Q4OS + TDE and use it on all my my machines right now.  Runs lovely on my Lenovo T61 and Acer AspireOne netbooks and keeps them from the landfill.

Re: Thanks for amazing distro

Hello everyone!  This is my first reply to a thread here.

I just wanted to agree with David above!  I just found Q4OS+TDE and I just LOVE it!  Rock solid and fast!

I have been playing with several older Wyse Zx0 Thin Client PCs.  Thanks to Q4OS I am now running them as little standalone desktop PCs!

They have limited resources, but I upgraded the RAM to 8GB.  The SSD is only 16GB.  But that is plenty for Q4OS!

They are now running quite fast for these tiny PCs.

What I am really amazed is how SOLID the OS is on these little boxes.  I have tried at least 10 different OS distros on these little Thin Clients with very little luck.  Lubuntu ran ok, but not near as fast as Q4OS!

I will be putting it on my old Dell laptop very soon!  I kind of like Trinity.  It has "character".  *grin*

I hope to talk with you all around here more soon.

Nice forum!

I hope that the Q4OS developers read this thread.

You guys are doing a GREAT job!  I have been looking for a simple, clean, lightweight, stable and fast Debian distro for a while now.

I have FINALLY found it!

Thank you all!

Re: Thanks for amazing distro

I also want to say thank you too!
I used a long time the Q4OS Scorpion on my DELL Laptop and netbook, but had problems when I changed to the Centaurus. So I changed to MX Linux, which runs without problems, but I could not forget Q4OS. So I tried to come back to Q4OS and now it works on my two machines.
I'm happy now!

Re: Thanks for amazing distro

It does run very well on older hardware as Ive got a lot of of them. Its also one of the quickest and easiest distros to install. My many non-profit seniors have really enjoyed how quickly they can get a Q4OS system up and running. TDE/KDE use is split 30/70 and most have older hardware.
