Funny how everyone here in comments and author is saying "I really like Elementary OS" but nobody really wants/is ready to use it.

- happy-go-lucky 10y agoYou're right. I played with multiple distros before settling on Ubuntu because it gives me the least headaches.
- Brakenshire 10y agoI've been using it for the last 2/3 years. Started using it because my computer was old, and it was a lot faster than Ubuntu, and much more polished (in my opinion) than XFCE or LFCE, and have used it ever since. Has worked really well. Definitely has one or two persistent bugs, though. There was a really annoying cursor one for a long time, and then one with window focus which Ubuntu also suffered from. It's also annoying not to be able to do updates in place. To be fair, I think they are often upstream issues, Ubuntu also was waiting for that upstream focus fix for a long time. But it does mean they're not yet fulfilling the promise of a completely seamless, polished, Linux distribution. For the moment, for my use case it's the best distribution, but it's not quite at the stage where I'd want to put it on a relative's computer, and I think given their stated aims that's the litmus test.
- phaedryx 10y agoI paid for it and put it on both of my kids' computers. They like it a lot.
