I've recently jumped on this platform. I know it's 6 months late but I'd be curious as to whether you tried it out and your impressions if you did?

We are still in alpha and we keep it that way for a reason. There are a lot of technical areas we need to address (which we are actively working on). We only recommend people use AerynOS on spare hardware or a VM as we don't want to encourage people using a distro "when it's not yet ready" though we know people still do and are having a positive experience.
