Modicia OS - WOW!!! Still The Most Complete Linux OS

[@Cisco2023]

Been using Modi for a couple of days now. One thing, if your outside of Italy you'll need to edit /etc/default/locale and /etc/profile and set locale to your language and region. Or little things like the calculator and clock will have Italian language settings. Not a deal breaker, just a few little things that need to be tweaked to use outside the region.

I was on "MX Linux" (which is my goto), but now i'm using "Nobara" for Steam Gaming(from Glorious Eggroll). I have split my Main 512Gb Boot SSD into 4. (140Gb each.) 1. Windows 11, 2. Nobara 3. Spare & 4. Windows to Linix (Shared Partition 100GB). I have a 2TB for Backup & Files. This "complete" Linus is going in the 3rd slot! Thanks for the review.

[@raymondgradzewicz]

I do disagree about bloat, my perspective is that if I want something, then I can install it. Spending time to uninstall stuff I don't want on the system is a waste of time. However, that's the great thing about linux, you have choice. Different tools for different needs, different desktop environments for different preferences. So I'm not going to say that it's a bad distro because of it, just that it's not my preference.

I love this Modicia OS. I need one help from you. I have one software which runs on Windows only (My office software). I tried to install on Linux but it shows that .Net Frameworks 4.5.2 needs to be installed. I tried to install it but it goes an infinite loop. It forced me to switch back to windows. Can you please create one video on it?

[@groningenparanormaal3642]

I was going to try it out for myself, so i made a usb stick and booted up. And i was met with a box that said: Unable to contact settings server, could not connect: connection refused. And that happened before i got onto a desktop. The desktop would not even load to set up a connection. It's like this distro needs a lan-connection to boot?? That box got me stuck there and no desktop no Linux. So it's a shame. i expected more.

[@eBuzzCentral]

Which one did you download?

[@JordanPlayz158]

The only issue with this distro is that they use MediaFire for downloads (there are so many better options like providing the download on your own site or better yet have a torrent) especially for their target market, providing a site with a ton of ads and an on click ad when you hit the download button

[@gingerroot8802]

Better yet they couldn't host it on their own servers? Torrent file would be the way, but come on.. Buy a cheap VPS with a good amount of bandwidth for $15 - $20 a month and host the ISO.

The word BLOAT is usually misused.... Having 5000 apps is NOT Bloat.....BLOAT are things that attach itself to the OS on things like Bootup and During use, bogging down the OS. I love Fully Loaded OSes like this.

[@headrushindi]

I don't believe that just because a person has a differing opinion than I , that they are Trolls. However I agree with you , in that if an individual doesn't like all the app's that come with a distribution , then Simply delete the ones you don't want. It's that simple . I use Zorin as my main squeeze. But I also have Makulu linux," Which I Love" , and a few others on my test laptops. I did not like , nor could I use many of the apps that came with it. Only took me a few minutes to delete the ones I could not use and download the ones I could . Problem solved. By the way I Believe it was you that turned me on to Makulu. Had it not been for your videos , it may have taken me months to discover it ! Ten thousand thumbs up to you.

[@JosiahSCooper]

lubuntu is definitely my favorite distro as a user who came away from Windows 10, being free of the bulkiness of excess software I hardly (if ever) will use at all, to the smoothness and responsiveness and quietness and cuztomizability of Lubuntu is magical (for me) though, I am a person of simple taste I don't need to be dazzled by animations and bundled software packages

[@MIDNITE69]

What repo is this pulling from for app downloads in it's GUI store? The descriptions of the apps feel... suspicious. Like how they named 'OBS' as 'Obs'. Makes it seem like they roll their own packages. And after seeing the downloads having to come from a MediaFire link, I can't help but wonder what else they would put into the packages, if they are making their own.

[@darryltoombs1076]

Just about the handbooks when you said Dutch? The DE handbooks are German not Dutch which would be NL not DE.

I wasn't a fan of the UI. But for me it's just a matter of the desk top not being at least close to how I like it set up. I only like to change and theme things to a certain point. So far default KDE plasma has been the closest. I don't have to change much. Any flavor of linux with that DE I can fire up and go with more or less.

[@BrianThomas]

That's the beauty of Linux. There's so much customization available that you can really make it look exactly how you want

This comes with way too many applications out of the box for me including closed source ones, good for people who just want a computer to work I guess? also yes that website needs some work if people can't find the download link easily.

[@rfdiego777]

I think modiciaos can be a good choice for someone who just switched from windows, because you have an already full functional system with some known apps. But for an already experienced linux user modicia os doesn't make a lot of sense and gives that sense of "mess", which is the opposed of what the typical linux user searches. Anyway, the beauty of Linux is that anyone can have what they like

If you like the distro, you like it. I don’t worry about bloat. I have all the apps I want, as well as a bunch of VMs, and my $70 SSD isn’t even 20% full. It’s kind if like concern over how much RAM a desktop uses. I could care less whether it uses 600 MB or 2 GB. I have never seen my system use even half of my 16 GB of RAM, even while drafting in FreeCAD and rendering a video in Kdenlive in the background.

[@ddabrahim]

Looks appealing and polished but where all Linux distros fail for me is reliability. After just few months of daily use, every single one I used especially Ubuntu based distros get corrupted by broken, missing packages in the repositories. Last time was really crazy. After a system update, I got upgraded to a completely different distro and everything was broken. Must have been something mixed up with the repositories and I got downloaded wrong system files, no idea what happened but I did not touched Linux since. Disgusting experience every single time I try it. But the polish look of Modicia OS got me interested. Maybe I'll have a look. Looks nice.
