Overview of a fundamentally new OS Bolgenos

Hello to all! I am extremely surprised that after what a furore Bolgenos made, there has not yet been a single review. Well, I'll be glad to fix this thing.

Live CD


At first, I decided to try out the capabilities of the OS itself. Fortunately, Bolgenos allows you to boot into the LiveCD mode, which, by the way, is rarely seen today. I did not understand a little why the whole text was written in English, because this is a purely Russian OS, even the comments in the Russian code. But I guess I just don't understand something, so let's leave it and go on. I chose the “Starting without install” menu item, and the OS launch started.



It is worth noting that the download animation displays progress, which is very nice, especially compared to the VINDOUS operating systems. After a very short amount of time, the Bolgenos desktop appeared before me.



Immediately striking a nice user interface and easy, ergonomic design. Yes, I have long been waiting for something like this. Particularly pleased with the wallpaper on your desktop, and then tired, that in VINDOUS they need to change all the time.

Also very convenient and beautiful menu:



One of the significant advantages of the operating system is the innovative OgenBrowse browser that comes with it. He has many opportunities that have no analogues in the world.



As you can see in the screenshot, one of these features is thumbnails of frequently visited pages. This technology is so advanced that when it was first launched, it managed to pull out these most frequently visited pages from VINDOUS, on which the virtual machine is running, on which Bolgenos is running.

When you click on the most frequently visited link, we can see how competently and accurately the browser displays the web page. I didn’t understand a little why the preview on the start page doesn’t correspond to the real content, but apparently I’m just having problems connecting to the global Internet.



Not to mention the fact that the development of the browser, albeit a bit, but was attended by foreign colleagues. Apparently, the lead developer allowed them to do localization, and in tribute to them the browser interface is mostly in English.



Installation


A little more enjoying the greatness of the OS, I proceeded with the installation.

Although the OS is purely Russian, foreign colleagues quickly realized that this development is very promising, and actively began the translation.



The developer of the time zone selection panel was very successful: simple and clear!



No less thought out and the selection dialog layout.



Orange color very well fit into the gamut, even blew something African!



Unfortunately, in a purely Russian OS you cannot have a user with a Cyrillic login, but, the system should have at least one drawback! I hope the next version will fix it.



The developer has put in a peculiar test for attentiveness: not everyone will notice that the installation goes straight to the seventh from the fifth point.



And here the developer showed a great sense of humor: he wrote “Ubuntu” instead of “Bolgenos”. For reference, an operating system with the name "Ubuntu" really exists, even though almost no one has heard of it.



After some few minutes, the installation is complete.



The welcome screen once again amazes with its unsurpassed appearance, especially the designer failed "X" in the background.

Conclusion



So, we can safely say that Bolgenos currently has almost no flaws. I'm going to install this OS as the main one on my computer, which is what you want!

But seriously


Denis, if you've read this far, then think about this post. And above the comments to yours too. Especially over this , this and this . And here it is .

You're great, at 16, not many people make their own Linux assemblies, especially among those who study in educational institutions not of the highest grade. But if you continue in this spirit, then nothing good will come of it. Find yourself an adequate adult who will explain everything to you and will remove a pair of rose-colored glasses. On habrahabr, by the way, for sure there will be such.
