    Ubuntu-based OS

    Date: Feb 28 2022
    Summary

    Overall, elementary OS can take some time for you to adapt, but you can use some tools (like pantheon-tweaks) to make your experience better.
    Personally, I won't recommend this distro at first.

    Positive

    elementary OS is easy to install and to configure once you've installed.
    elementary is also based in Ubuntu, so you can use Ubuntu software on this distro.

    Negative

    Pantheon desktop can take some time to adapt.
    No desktop icons.
    On my machine, sometimes I would put my password to login, pressed enter, and the same screen would appear, making me put my password again.
    One day, I installed the NVIDIA drivers from the elementary OS store and the desktop didn't work.
    There aren't much apps after installation.
