| Tried it recently. The biggest problems I had with it: 1. With what's built-in, it was non-obvious how to access most of the apps available to Ubuntu/Debian. The large rectangles in that app menu are horrid compared to the rest of the macOS-looking (nice) interface. 2. It claims that there is no need for terminal, and yet with very little searching, I was finding posts online with "how to make ElementaryOS better" that all involved use of the terminal. I don't mind opening a terminal shell and doing this, but it seems like there would be another way that is easier for the casual user. 3. It can't just be the desktop that looks like macOS; one of the big things in macOS is how intuitive every user task is. For example, in ElementaryOS, you can't right click on the desktop to change the background. But, there are many other things as well. It's very nice, and probably the best install and desktop I've experienced in Linux thus far. That says a lot since I've been using Linux and installing it for a few decades. However, it is not ready yet. It is getting very close, though. The things I miss from macOS are: 1. Spotlight 2. The intuitiveness of the macOS control panel 3. The macOS activity monitor 4. Easily stylable terminal with options 5. Dock/OS notifications (number and bubbles) |
When I use any of the major Linux file managers, it feels like I've gone back in time 20 years. Why is OSX still the only OS which lets me easily preview the content of my files without having to open them first?
