Lilidog Reviews

Lilidog has been a very pleasant experience. There's many minimal so-called lightweight distros floating around, but often these feel overly compromised in many ways, but that's not so with Lilidog. I first tried it as a guest in Virtualbox running on Win11Pro, the install went through without a hitch, as did installing the guest additions. The overall first impression is one of confidence, that this distro has had some real thought put into it. There's no sign of common mistakes often encountered with some distros, my pet hate is when localisation at install time isn't properly carried over into the finished install. It's easy to fix I know, but to me it feels as though the dev hasn't taken the time on the details. With Lilidog it's obvious the dev has been thorough, I've come across nothing that suggests otherwise. I currently have a networking demonstration project built on virtualbox which involves simultaneously running four instances of desktop stations, one server and a simulated nas backup. For fun I switched out my usual desktop station choice, replacing it with Lilidog. Each station is driven by scripts simulating app usage, networking etc. I sat back and watched four instances of Lilidog all running like clockwork. Not a scientific test but still, up until now I've found only three distros that don't get their boxers in a bunch running this way, so i'm impressed. As a daily driver, in my opinion this is a good choice. It's stable, polished and fun. I likey.

Outstanding distro, well engineered, caring with all details.

Just tried the Trixie version. Great!

The best OpenBox! The work is amazing! I hope at 'trixie'!

My personal all time favorite. Great openbox implementation and great scripts for other window mangers along with a wonderful suite of easy customization options. SUPER stable and absolutely something that was a work of art. I genuinely hope to see a trixie upgrade but, more importantly I hope Sleek is doing great and thank him for the efforts across multiple projects

Excellent distro out of the box for beginners ! Keep up the good work.

customizations are very nice and ram usage is optimal. This is the best debian-openbox distro I've ever seen.

It's what Boozen and CrunchBANGED want to be. It is hands down the best OB Debian out there. Sparky is a close second Happy 2023. Good as ever ! Debian rules Openbox rules. Nuff said. 26 years of Debians for me .Lili is the best today

I was pointed here by a Reddit post. This project absolutely pulls the maximum potential out of Openbox. If you are looking for one of the most visually pleasing OB Debian experiences, LiliDog is fantastic.

Hi i did a usb to usb full install for the base and it works great added a few bits and bobs no problems its as light as a feather for ram usage just i snag it takes ages to get from boot to login page now is this just something your working on or this normal tks or is this just me.

Le doy 5 estrellas porque me ha gustado la personalización que ha hecho. También me ha gustado que hayan sacado una versión con la rama Sid. Si puedo expresar mi deseo, me gustaría una versión solo con JWM (me encanta ese WM) y si puede ser con la rama Sid mejor (y si no tampoco pasa nada). A mucha gente le parece excesivo que haya cuatro gestores de ventanas, pero yo lo veo como una posible inspiración.
