"NebiOS is a unique Linux distribution for several reasons. First off, it offers a beautiful desktop UI (NebiDE) that opts to use the Wayfire compositor, which is based on Wayland. NebiDE is a highly customizable, extendable, and lightweight desktop environment that is modular, which means you can tweak it and even add plugins for more functionality and greater flexibility with appearance."
"Although NebiOS is still in active development, I wasn't able to find much information about NebiCloud (including pricing or if it's still being developed). NebiCloud is open source, and the most recent activity on its GitLab page was from 2024. I was still able to use NebiCloud and Nextcloud, but locating information on the versions being used was not forthcoming."
"Given NebiCloud hasn't been in active development for some time, chances are good that it's vulnerable. To that end, I wouldn't recommend connecting NebiOS to the cloud service. That doesn't mean NebiOS isn't a viable option. It is. The OS is still in active development, and NebiDE is very much worth giving a try."
NebiOS stands out as a distinctive Linux distribution offering NebiDE, a highly customizable and lightweight desktop environment built on the Wayfire compositor and Wayland. NebiDE provides modularity, extensibility, and plugin support for enhanced functionality and appearance customization. The distribution integrates with NebiCloud, an open-source cloud storage alternative using Nextcloud as its interface to provide Google Workspace-like capabilities with 10GB free storage. However, NebiCloud presents security concerns, as its GitLab repository shows minimal recent activity, suggesting potential vulnerabilities. While NebiOS remains under active development and NebiDE merits exploration, connecting to NebiCloud is inadvisable until its security status improves. NebiOS remains a viable option for experimentation despite these limitations.
