Pros
Pro Everything works well out of the box
Works well. Very similar to my experiance with Manjaro.
Pro Beautiful and faithful KDE implementation
Modified but not overly tweaked (like BlueStar Linux or Ka OS).
Pro nice feel
Pro Always up-to-date
The "rolling" edition of Netrunner is based on Manjaro (an Arch derivative) which offers a semi-rolling release.
Pro Quick & lightweight
Surprisingly snappy for a fairly fully-featured distro.
Pro Netrunner Core is ideal for workstation
Netrunner Core is a vanilla version based on Debian Stable that only uses 400 MB RAM.
Pro Debian based
Apt/Aptitude, debconf or the alternatives system.
Pro Updates are slow, but stable. It is based on Debian after all.
It uses Unstable per default so it is still some kind of stable since all dangerous packages are tested in experimental first.
Pro Secure Boot support
It supports secure boot which is great for LiveCDs and dual boot systems.
Cons
Con Very heavy on resources
The heaviest Linux distro I've ever used. It often gets my laptop fan to fly.
Con Hardware recognition is bad compared to Ubuntu.
Siduction won't install any non-free drivers by default.
