    I haven’t tried ElementaryOS in years. It was always too opinionated for me.

    But glad they are still releasing updated ISO’s.

      Agreed. It’s not for me. But I gotta respect the game. They do a great job making a pretty UI in a world where everything is UI-by-engineer.

        Some years ago (in the early days) I used it as daily driver in the office. My personal device was a MacBook.

        I really enjoyed the highlights and hated the lowlights (UI breaks, and bodged updates).

        Just for fun, I should really re-visit that distro and acknowledge the steady progress.

    Great distro, I ran it on the daily too for a good while. It’s extremely well designed and if you are willing to give the benefit of the doubt with its design opinions, I think you’ll often come to agree with them (not all, but many)

    Only thing I don’t like about it was the bugs and not having an in-place upgrade path stops me from calling it a “beginner friendly” distribution. I admire their ambition though, given they’re just a small boutique distro and they’ve done some great work for UX in the free desktop.
