I had tried Remix-OS on my netbook. Honestly, I was never really impressed. Unless you have a touch screen, it felt like a crippled android device. Even with the touch screen (tried on my 2 in 1 laptop), it felt like a crippled tablet. I was hoping that eventually it would grow into more.

Tried it and went instead with Neverwares release of ChromeOS it just worked better.

Pretty much the same story here. Nice to have a larger display, but tablet and phone apps didn't always work great without touch. And resolution was nothing special. Did have an IO+ through KS, too...worth the low risk. Well, I'll have some mad money in a couple weeks...

That's too bad. There will probably be another group that takes over and twenty competing groups.

I often wonder how all the desktop Linux distros survive. Considering how miniscule the user base is for many of them and that they are free.
