Review of Obarun by DistroWatch
Not good at all.
For having a quick install option the old installer was used, which with the changes in both obarun and arch it may very well be impossible to install. When the installer starts asks if the user wants it (and themes) updated, he must have chosen no and no.
But where did this old iso come from? Maybe he had downloaded an image long ago and just decided to use it now. Who knows.
All he had to do is send an email and ask, get on irc, or the forum.
Maybe there is no bad publicity, and a bad review is better than being obscure.

Do moderators in r/linux need a solid excuse to remove anything challenging their status quo? Dare say 2 words critical of systmed in there and you are banned for life.
Distrowatch, refuses to list Obarun for the past couple of editions, would never respond to messages in the past, refused to acknowledge incorrect data on their report, .... didn't directly ask for money but they make it obvious, only those who pay can appear on the site. They never responded or corrected their baseless criticism of a review either.
It is very discouraging and disappointing to find out how things are controlled by "control centers" in linux. The crappiest of systems are portrayed as the best and other systems are invisible.
