So I went to their main page to download an ISO to give it a try in a VM.

They hid the download button really well: You have to type in "0" into the "how much you'd like to pay" field for the "Purchase" button to change to "Download".

I mean I understand that open source projects need funding. But if you want people to try your niche OS at least make it obvious how to download it. Ask for money later after people had to chance to try it out.

I only typed in 0 because I know that "trick" from other websites. If I hadn't known I would have just left the website and would possibly never return.
