#ElementaryOS
elementaryOS mention 😮

iirc their stuff is written in Vala, the language that exists solely to make coding for Gnome more palatable?

Insert relevant @tsoding.bsky.social video:

(no hate gnome, I’m just teasing ✌️)
Library so BAD they Created a Language to fix it

I wish elementaryOS had a feature to _force_ a dark gtk theme instead of requesting it. I have photophobia so I wasn't asking

I wish! 2015 MacBook Pro running elementaryOS.

Use space being UI? 🙈

I'm still on elementaryOS 7.something as my main, which I find visually very nice. 🥰

Though I need to update as I've managed to fuckup the boot partition with old shite, making it totally un-updatable. 🤩🤭

Not quite sure if the boot manager stays when doing a fresh install… 🙈

Any distro with KDE will sufficiently look windows10.
I hear elementaryOS is Linux with training wheels, but mint is the basic of basics because it's lightweight and will revive most old tech.

Just avoid Gnome and Cosmic related options. Everything else will look windows or Mac enough.

🙄 #REBORNOS + #elementaryos A MI #thinkpad P50

DESPUES de pelearme semanas por salvar #linux en mi laptop, finalmente tome la drastica decision de buscar alternativas y reinstalar

POR mi trabajo, no me queda mucho tiempo para busquedas exhautivas (si miran […]

Yo me compré ahora un par de ordenadores de segunda mano y la verdad encantado, i7 del 2020 y 16Gb de RAM por unos 350€ con Windows que te simplificará el tema de los certificados digitales. Si les pones ElementaryOS al pasarte a Linux irán ligeros y se darán un aire lejano a MacOS

Jacob Alexander Tice asked: Favorite desktop environment, window manager, or Wayland compositor?

Desktop Environment probably elementaryOS' pantheon, just because I'm chill with 'em :)

WM/Compositor would have to go to Niri which I use with Gaypanel

ElementaryOS is interesting, but until they implement a nonshitty means of folder/drive sharing, it stays on the USB stick.

Rightclick/Share...

I saw this in Windows for Workgroups 3.10.

In 1992.

Thirty-four YEARS ago.

ElementaryOS doesn't do it.

Desktop is Debian forky/testing + KDE

One laptop has ElementaryOS, the other Debian forky/testing + MATE

Laptops jump a lot just to test distros here and there

ElementaryOS tops the list? Really???: 5 free Linux distros I wish had premium versions - and why I'd pay for them - ZDNET buff.ly/u4X3UF5

Why would I want to pay for something I can get for free? I've got plenty of reasons.

I tried Solus first, but it didn’t feel right. Then I tried to install ElementaryOS and couldn’t even get it to install for some reason, it kept giving me issues about the EFI, so I gave up. I demoed PearOS, which was honestly kind of embarrassing. It tries to be macOS, but is so rough.

does elementaryOS have a mascot i could make one for them

I haven't looked into it in any detail at all, but apparently ElementaryOS is committedly anti-LLM _and_ they make their own desktop environment (Pantheon).

But they're Ubuntu-based, and I think it's Gnome-based, so in both cases they have significant LLM-infected upstreams to worry about.

I just don’t know what to think of this shit any more. Where was this vast private and corporate money for elementaryOS? The universal blue folks? The niri and noctalia devs?

Is it literally just that they were too woke and didn’t have the right phone numbers? What the fuck

Man I really do enjoy ElementaryOS so far, I think I should just write a review of it, and then use that to shove in my little thesis about where the future of UX and Design in the Linux ecosystem should be headed.

I finally made the switch away from my clanky little Arch Linux installation over to ElementaryOS. I'll be honest, it isn't exactly the most intuitive switch for *my brain*, but I think that the approach is correct. Elementary acts like a *normal desktop*. It's got a suite of built in software […]

[re: nerd shit, linux]

Also on my list to try, esp if Arch doesn't pan out:
- ElementaryOS (but what happens if you stray off their lovingly packaged selection of software?)
- NetBSD (am I ready for this level of change, I don't know)
- HaikuOS (I loved BeOS back in the day, not sure I feel […]

Après elementaryOS c'est vraiment réservé aux anciens iMac tout le reste l'intégration GTK est affreuse.

elementaryOS (ubuntu) is also a good one for converting the average person from macOS. However, Pop!_OS and the COSMIC desktop interface are okay for both Windows and macOS users who have the patience. Patience is the key to learning any type of software.

My laptops see regular hops to other distros, but this is for the Desktop of which I touch every single day

"netbook" is on ElementaryOS, T430 on Debian Testing + MATE

LMDE+rebasing on Testing is valid too lol
