Below are the symbols used to denote different types of notes taken during distribution reviews, aggregated in tables in the following sections.

Fedora

Type	Remark
✓	SSH/VNC remote access integration in GNOME Settings.
✓	Coloured kernel error output.
?	Two-tiered systemd startup status (Starting foo.service - Description for foo ...)
?	GRUB skips menu by default.
×	Netinst image does not ship with `llvmpipe`, VMware virtual machine greeted with `drisw` errors.
×	Installer does not reboot the system after hitting "Finish," whilst GNOME's session control is confusing for first-time users to find.
×	Broken maximise button display on Firefox's CSD (hidden but operable).
×	Broken input method for some applications - GNOME Weather and Clocks.
×	GNOME Clocks failed to index (inaccessible from search queries) localised cities that are also standard tzdata cities - such as Shanghai (上海) and Chongqing (重庆); other cities such as Hangzhou (杭州) are indexed properly and accessible in searches.
×	Fractional scaling not available out-of-the-box.
×	Frequent loss of mouse input in GNOME Shell whilst testing in VMware - windows still updates and system responds to ACPI power events, but mouse clicks does not work.
×	GNOME Connections gets stuck in a loop if user chooses "Cancel" during initiation of RDP connection.

Type	Remark
✓	Ships both `BOOTLOONGARCH.EFI` and `BOOTLOONGARCH64.EFI` to maximise firmware compatibility.
?	Ships only old-world GRUB but offers old-world BPI support in the kernel (supports booting new-world kernels using old-world firmwares).
×	Lacks AMD GPU firmware (`/usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/*`) in the installed system - AMD graphics cards will appear to lock up during boot.
×	`accounts-daemon.service` fails to launch due to "cannot make segment writable for relocation," causing GDM to also fail to launch (desktop does not start).
×	No repository access.
