    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.
