It took a bit for me to realize what broadside and hull meant even though apparently it was "explained" on the right side.

Perhaps a small introduction could be worthwhile?

I like the way it looks though, effects are nice, it's smooth!

I was expecting to read why systemd is out of control but the only thing mentioned is this:

While systemd is a powerful init system, it has grown far beyond its original purpose, adding features like age verification that many feel don't belong in a core OS component.

Is there a better explanation as to why it is out of control?

Just downloaded it and installed the C# language plugin because I need to use that for work. For some unknown reason the program grinds to an absolute halt. I cannot even close it properly anymore. If I type something it appends roughly one character per second.

Not sure if it is the plugin or something else, but unfortunately makes it very hard to try out for me.

Definitely one to go into my bookmarks. I'm definitely keeping my eyes on discord competitors with the whole age verification fiasco right now, though I already was keeping an eye on them.

Do you have a public roadmap? If I ever was to introduce a new messaging app to my friend groups then I would need to ensure it matches all their standards, lol. Also good for keeping up-to-date with the project of course!

All the best with the project, hope it gets traction!

I don't think it looks as AI generated as people say. It might not be the most flashy UI but it looks good enough to me. Good luck with the launch!

I have to say that as a Dutch person it always pains me to see products launch internationally with a Dutch name, for some reason it just feels super cringy. Do other people who's native language isn't English have that as well with their own language?

I have a couple of suggestions:

1. The url for the website doesn't seem to work, it should most likely be this: https://pro1234123.github.io/Mylinux

2. I would recommend going more in depth about what this distro is doing different versus others. The current list of bullet points are very generic and don't really explain anything.

3. Maybe you could make more use of the repository itself to upload all the scripts that you've been using or something along those lines to create this distro. Lots of people want to be able to see into the inner workings and maybe tinker with it themselves!

Anyhow, good luck with the project :)

While I don't necessarily see myself using this much, I think it is a fun idea!

I do want to mention that the buymeacoffee button is a bit invasive as I initially assumed it was for the repository owner seeing as it is located in the section with repository info, and not the developer of gitscroll.dev
