Good reviews && Bad reviews ....

Good times && Bad times ....


Curiously, almost on the same dates. I have been able to read an excellent review of SparkyLinux, as well as another totally disastrous review.

The first of them was published on January 1 (with reference to his article of last July tenth, 2025). A concise, serious, detailed and exhaustive review.
 And, where he finally comments that using SparkyLinux was an almost perfect experience.

And OTOH, this one made by Jesse Smith of DistroWatch (using an outdated version - SparkyLinux 2025.09 running CDE) where he ends by saying that the newly installed distribution cannot boot.

Specifically, it ends with this paragraph:

Quote[....] 
After a few minutes of working, Calamares reported it had successfully completed the installation and offered to restart the computer. Unfortunately, the freshly installed distribution failed to boot. In fact, a closer look at the disk indicated a boot loader had not been set up, rendering the machine unbootable.


Anyway.... for tastes, colors. 






Cheers !!

  By the way, I forgot to comment that I have searched the internet (using DDG or StartPage) for the problem described by the individual from DistroWatch. And I have found absolutely NOTHING about it.

 And there is also no report (of this matter) here, on the SparkyLinux forums.
 
So, I think that this lad's problem, seems to be the typical PICNIC.
