Issues checked with OS Feren from 25/5/2023 till 09/6/2023 . Kernel: 5.15.0-69-generic , with XanMod Kernel 6.3.5 for AMD v2 / AMD FX [ https://xanmod.org ] System: PC AMD FX 8 cores, DDR3 4Gbx2 , SSD 250Gb, Graphic card AMD RX 470/570 4Gb

Basic statement: no OS is able to satisfy the demands of the individual IT professional without the involuntary alterations of the system settings. The OS needs to satisfy just the basic demands of the targeted audience.

  1. The minimum personal demand: the OS needs to boot for 10 seconds.
    The boot of Feren OS lasts 14-15 seconds in my very basic PC.

The reason of the BUG: many useless services are embedded. 61 seconds required for the FEREN-... -UPDATE service to complete at boot in the distance of 38 ms from the Feren web host . Other Examples. Check booted services by the COMMAND sudo systemd-analyze blame. Do not allow the execution of the useless service without its deletion in the system by COMMAND
[ sudo systemctl mask name_of_the_service ] Delete the useless service in the system by COMMAND
[ sudo systemctl disable name_of_the_service ] . I use lan connection and I do not use wifi. So I deleted wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager-wait-online services by execution of the command sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant NetworkManager-wait-online .

  1. The deletion of the useless ppp service (connection via a telephone line) can crash the system. Those, which need the samba service (if the users has 2 and more computers at local LAN), can add nmbd and smbd by themselves. The deletion of FEREN-... -UPDATE service did not improve the speed of the boot. As the other services substituted the left space of the boot for the unknown reason.

  2. Embedded Vivaldi browser v. 4.3, 6.0, 6.1 does not show the MINIMIZE ICON [x] at the top right corner of the TAB / screen after the boot is complete. It is a serious defect.

  3. The embedded nano editor does not recognize the standard features of the standard colours (bold, bright) and does not allow scrolling at the right part of the screen. file /etc/nanorc in conjunction with ./config/.nano dir. Kindly consider the newly introduced nano package, which allows to use the colors in hex format in addition to 16 standard colours.

  4. The embedded full LIBRE-OFFICE packages look in the obvious excess .
    Note, no distributor has embedded full OFFICE. Because the full office packages are useless for the daily needs. The full office is a 'heavy' set of packges for linux os. My point is similar to main stream linux distributors: those people, which use linux, consider alteration. One of the alterations to the LIBRE-OFFICE is the abiword package which satisfies demands of 99+ percent of the daily needs of the linux users for the creation, the view and for the editing of .doc /.docx /.awd documents.

  5. Optional. The KDEN life video editing package and similar free video editing packages satisfy the demands of most of 'home'' users. These packages do need the 'standard' AMD or NVIDIA driver, embedded in feren os. Nevertheless, the producers of the video editing software require proprietary drivers for professional use often. To install the proprietary AMD driver required whole day for me. Due to the unspecific demands of both Feren OS engineers and AMD LLC: the AMD LLC engineers produced the incorrect commands and the completely incorrect options for the installation of their proprietary AMDGPU-PRO drivers for the UBUNTU/Debian based OS. Consequently, the Debian users are deprived of the possibility to use AMDGPU-PRO drivers completely. And Ubuntu user shall try about 20 options until its combination match the OS and the AMD GPU. If the targeting audience is the user of the video editing software, the Feren OS may consider to embed the proprietary AMD drivers.

  6. The Feren FILES. The Nautilus Graphical interface is labeled FILES by Feren OS engineers. After the incorrect installation of the AMD driver, the Feren OS stoped to react on the correct password. I deleted the system. My config files were left at the /home/.config directory in /dev/sdX drive. I installed the Feren OS the new. After the 2nd installation I tried to open the konsole from the NAUTILUS . The Nautilus opens the konsole screen in '/' directory, instead of the required directory, where I need to work, constantly. The bug is the konsole does not open the same directory, where the Nautilus Files had been directed from. I did not find the Nautius config file for the solution of opening the terminal konsole in the same directory, not in '/' (root) directory in config.

  7. The Feren OS engineers could guess that each user needs to 'enter' desktop time to time. There is no icon desktop in the right lower corner embedded.

  8. boot/grub/themes/feren . There is no Feren FONT installed inside the directory. The engineers can embed the font size of 18px, 20px or 22px in .pf2 format for the comfortable look at the screen without glasses. The Ubuntu ebeeded .ps2 font is very heavy: more than 2,3Mb , for all possible languages. I had the 18px font in my collection only. The 18px font is minimum size for the comportable in use with 26 - 36'' screen . It is for 50 % of all users. I hardly believe that the Feren engineers expect the user to buy 102'' screen as the embedded font has size of 9px .

-- script in python for the installation of the desired font and its size-- -- grub-mkfont is the Ubuntu OS package -- SCREEN_WIDTH=$(xdpyinfo | grep dimensions | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d 'x' -f 1) FONT_SIZE=$((${SCREEN_WIDTH} / 80)) sudo grub-mkfont -s ${FONT_SIZE} -o /boot/grub/AnyFont_Mono.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/AnyFont_Mono.ttf printf "\nGRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/AnyFont_Mono.pf2" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/grub sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- EOF -- author of the script: Jan , location: Lintorf, Germany

My impression. I used Q4OS debian based OS of the German engineers for the desktop needs previously. The Q4OS OS is ranked around 30 among the popular world OS at https://distrowatch.com/popularity . If AMD PRO driver existed in practice for debian, I was not in need of the search for the Ubuntu system.
In comparison with Q4OS, the Feren OS has better design at the start. Feren OS has the slower performance and the double slower response time at my PC, which is based on 2016-2018 elements. a cup of coffee is expected reserved at the Feren OS office in 2023 (not a joke).

It is my 1st comment. I appologize, if I had inserted it into the wrong tree.

2023.07 has completely redone the package base of Feren OS, reducing it to the essential packages to form the current Feren OS experience, thus most of the performance issues should be fixed on new installs, once 2023.07 releases in a few months.
