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?

    Based on your post I wouldn’t touch this distro with a 3 mile long bargepole.
