I’m incredibly close to pulling the trigger to make WattOS my new distro for my netbook. I’ve been using antiX for a while and it’s really great overall but the lack of systemd has worn me down I feel. A few programs I want to use just don’t work properly without systemd and I don’t have the patience to fill in the gaps myself.

My only real concern with WattOS is the fact it seems so mysterious. There’s very little info on their site and NO LICENSE OR SOURCE CODE OR REPOSITORY! I highly doubt Russia or China are trying to weasel their way into old AF computers to create a botnet but I’ve never seen a Linux project be so secretive.

Anyone else have some light to shed on this project?

    Sorry I can’t help with additional info, as you said there’s little to find. It’s referenced on DW at least, but not much more is given there

    A bloody discord FFS, I’m not going there.

    But then I guess it’s not open source, if we can’t find the source.

    I don’t see myself installing a distro for which you can’t even find the license? How do you even know you have the right to install or use it?
