They were quite quick at getting this release out. I had been using Luna in 2014 and remember waiting a long time for the release of Isis (which was renamed to Freya before it was released in 2015). I eventually gave up waiting and went back to Lubuntu (which was a better fit for my 10 year old laptop). I like what they’re doing a lot and think they carved out a unique space in the world of GNU/Linux distributions. There’s a lot to be said for emphasising usability and aesthetics and not overwhelming the user with too much software choice or OS customisations. I’m not the target market because I spend a lot of my time in the terminal but I’d be happy to recommend Elementary to friends and family who don’t want to have to think too much about their computing environment.
