From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure how long this will last, but here are some videos I took of it, try not to mind the crunch on the last one, I had to use qsv_vp9 for it since I was running out of time and space. Also don't mind the fist video's bad fps, I was compiling in the background and forgot.

wow that's gorgeously fast. I was beginning to give up on linux app stores, but this gives me hope
Im very happy with how responsive its being in general. Discover and gnome's store are actually really sluggish to use when scrolling through in low end hardware and this app is smooth as silk.
even Fdroid stores on my phone are slower.
First impressions is I'm shocked by just how fast it is, Aside from the first boot which for some reason doesn't propagate apps and needs a reboot, it's extremely fast, Gnome software and Discover aren't even within the same league of responsiveness and speed. I didn't showcase Discover since I don't know where the cache files are to delete them.
Touchscreen for sure I wish was handled better. you can see I accidentally clicked an app in the last video instead of scrolling, but thats something that I assume will be fixed with time.
