The philosophy is to be minimal but functional and let you choose what you want to install but to give you a good basic OS with a foundation to customize how you like. wattOS also can support the fastest and newest systems with the 64bit multi-core systems and large RAM and performance requirements. wattOS is nearing 5 years of being available as a distro. It is running a custom LXDE desktop with the utilities you would expect with as little fast as possible for the average user. ” wattOS R7 (release 7) is a remaster of ubuntu 13.04 and is fully compatible with ubuntu repositories.

Power management utilities like powertop to optimize settings, support for power Web Browsing (including flash support) – Chromium. really one thing to say beauty of it has just risen from past version.įile manager – PCManFM 1.1.0 (now includes gui based simple search!) As the name might suggest, it is also focused on low power usage and is said to work well with older and less powerful hardware.īut now its time to review Wattos R7 x86-64 based distro so created live usb and just rebooted my pc and with a surprise a nice green boot screen for login appeared. so I still fire my pc if I had issues with it and use Wattos r4. Its around 3 yrs back so started searching some lightweight distros and start booted in live but nothing was booting but Wattos r4 just booted nicely and through it was able to restore my pc so still I kept a copy of Wattos r4 but now new version which I downloaded when I just used it is not as lighter than Wattos R4 surely.

In the past I had some issue with my computer and suddenly something went wrong so I was not able to install win xp on one of my computers at that time. Why actually I reviewed this distro its exactly a lightweight distro based on ubuntu. WattOS will be fast and easy, and now is the right time to rethink our energy use and computers in our daily lives. It features Openbox, a light-weight, energy-efficient desktop environment. An Ubuntu based distro, WattOS uses Openbox and is optimised to be lightweight, low-power, and able to run on older machines. WattOS is a new lightweight Ubuntu-based operating system.
