Who here uses Elementary OS?

    I used it for a while (Freya I think?) -- I liked it, but it was (is?) essentially an Ubuntu re-skin, so I just went back to Ubuntu. I also had some suspend issues with respect to waking and screen tearing, which didn't help.

    Although now you've piqued my interest to try it again...

    Its now at 0.41 Loki and some of those issues has been taken care of, honestly I love it because of the design.

    @abhishtagatya to be honest, I always felt that elementary was trying too hard to look good, and not hard enough to be a rock-solid platform (despite inhering Ubuntu LTS). If my elderly relative needed an OS, I'd give her elementary, the same way I'd give her a MacBook or an iPad, because it's simple and looks good. Can't see it holding up for devs tho.

    I tried it on an old, slow netbook. We're talking a few years back though. Never updated because it required a reinstall :(

    @tylerjackoliver well I get your point and I have to disagree a bit. Although it is not as solid of an OS but it just works and what I really love about an OS is that the overall user experience and for me elementary os delivers

    Um, I installed it many months back as a fallback OS or in case I have to handover my laptop to someone whom I don't want to have my data screwed up. Fortunately, I never got the chance to use it, I never let others use my laptop. Although, elementary is a fine disto tho

    I use it! It's updating right now. But it isn't my main OS. I use a Mac and keep elementary in a USB drive.

    @demiko Pantheon is the default DE. You can look at it in my previous comment above.
