My guess is “typing stuff into a website using chrome” which I guess elementary isn’t a terrible choice.
- anderber 7y agoI do development on my elementary OS machine.
- rehemiau 7y agoDoes elementary still return their release codename instead of the base ubuntu release for `lsb_release -cs` in shell?
- anderber 7y agoThat's correct. They do show the Ubuntu build on the "About" section.
- cassidyjames 7y agoYes, because elementary OS is not Ubuntu. In the past, we carried newer versions of GTK or other core libraries, so pretending to be Ubuntu would actually do more harm than good. However, we have added an `--upstream` or `-u` flag to lsb_release like other Linux-based OSes to point to an upstream release if the downstream release is not supported. I believe this has been adopted for installers of tools like Ruby and Node.
- rehemiau 7y agoMakes sense, I hope all installer tools will start using it
- cttet 7y agoWhat else do you need for an OS now? As a developer what I need is a browser a terminal and an IDE. Everything else just need to be fast and non-distracting.
