Ask HN: Thoughts on elementary OS?
TIL about elementary OS
https://elementary.io/
I am immediately interested, but because this is the first time I’ve ever heard about it, despite frequenting hacker news, I am skeptical that it could be less to be excited about than what it seems to be.
Any thoughts from any of you about why this project is great or terrible, or anything in between?
I’ve been on Mac since Snow Leopard, and every time I think to myself, “I need to get off Mac because of X”, I remind myself how terrible Windows is, and how terrible a UX Ubuntu is.
Note - thanks @hamaluik for this comment:

- fabrice_d 6y agoElementary is a superb linux distribution: you don't know at all you're using linux! More seriously, I installed it on several relatives laptops (from 15 to 70+ yo) and I never heard anyone complain. In general, it just works.
- Malp 6y agoIt's lovely and very polished! Have been following it for some time now and can't wait to see where they go from beret.
