Strange, but I can't run a Live session on a 2013 Dell Latitude ( i5)laptop using Ventoy.... I tried both Kernel variants.... After few days download again ... At now work ( HP laptop (i7)). Look like nice ,but not for Me... I prefer terminal installs ( not Apps or Snaps)

Without a doubt, Nitrux OS is one of the most beautiful Linux distributions of today, in fact, one of the most beautiful operating systems of today. Everything here has been aesthetically designed, the icons are of the highest quality, Nomad Desktop's visual behaviors, its menu and even the dock designed specifically for distribution, can not be denied that I was amazed by all the work presented here.

Hello I have 5 recommendations for you; 1-) Package manager is Dpkg but get AppGrid and Gdabi 2-) The desktop environment can be downloaded on other Linux distributions 3-) Ubuntu and Mintte OnBoard On-Screen Keyboard 4-) Entrants can use tiled menu made for kde instead of Simple Menu 5-) Very slow on Virtualbox.
