This one I had never heard of before.

Oreon 10 beta released.

The stunning Oreon 10 arrives to replace Microsoft Windows -- download it now!

For many computer users, the thought of moving away from Windows 10 or 11 can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. While frustrations with Microsoft's operating system -- whether it's updates at inconvenient times, performance slowdowns, or privacy concerns -- may drive them to consider...

Had never heard of this one will give it a spin. It's another designed to give those desire to switch from Windows an easier time of it.

Gave it a spin live, To be honest it looks much like Fedora with the KDE Desktop. Will do more testing later today.
It even says install Fedora on the install Icon. So don't see a big advantage over Fedora.

It does look promising - I am downloading now - I grabbed the Oreon Lime Version - going to give it a spin on Oracle VirtualBox

Well loaded it up on Ventoy it did not see my WiFi card so I could not connect to the Internet without adding firmware-iwlwifi, also did not see my Canon printer without adding libgutenprint9, cups-backend-bjnp and cnijfilter2 other then that it appears to be a fairly nice OS

I did the Oreon 10 But wifi was detected fine on it. But as I said it just like Fedora 41 KDE spin as far as I can tell So why bother.
Might as well be using Fedora. It also uses KDE Plasma 6 DE.

So many of these "for Windows users" distros, these days sigh.
Literally they are all just glossy GUIs that look familiar. But that's not going to help one iota when you do an upgrade and something breaks. You'll end up having to get into the CLI so you may as well learn to navigate. This will never change and it is no more complicated (actually less) than mucking about choosing to remove this and that, messing around in regedit or even sometimes having to use cmd (or PowerShell if preferred) on the Windows side. The best way to learn to use a Linux system is to just learn Linux. Users, huh.

it'll just get worse as we get closer to October 2025 - a certain subset of folks wont ditch their computers just to "upgrade" to win11.
