I really like Nx because it is easy to use and works right away. One standout feature is the advanced Scribbles program, which surpasses Word and OpenOps, especially for creating glossy newspapers. It is incredibly powerful but complex; I estimate it would take a few weeks to fully grasp its capabilities. The software package is extensive, boasting around 120 different programs, including various small applications.

What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
There are aspects of Nx that could be improved, particularly the desktop interface, which I find quite unappealing, mostly in black and white. I used Nx in the past on an older Mac, and it seemed more accessible then. The challenge lies in the small space and difficulties in saving. If these issues can be addressed, Nx could become a more user-friendly and effective solution. In the future, to improve Nx, I think enhancing the partition manager in TDE would be beneficial. Currently, it lacks features like specifying the Mount Point, which is important for organizing the root and other directories. The Nx Partition Manager does a decent job, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, it would be great if the installation process could provide more details on what Nx is doing, especially regarding networking setups.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Nx solved a problem with an 11 GB DVD that Alma couldn't fix. I found Alma less reliable due to stability issues with default partitioning, so I switched to Nx.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Nx is surprisingly intuitive and user-friendly. Right from the installation process, it provided helpful advice and had a comprehensive manual. I'm highly impressed with its user-friendly interface, making it a strong contender for my go-to operating system.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate Nx as a seven out of ten.
