elementary OS. The great Linux alternative to macOS and Windows

Technology

As claimed, elementary OS, one of the most beautiful and consumer-friendly Linux distros, is a fast, open, and privacy-respecting replacement for Windows and macOS. The newly released version 5.1 Hera is a major update on a solid foundation. Featuring a completely redesigned login and lock screen greeter, a new onboarding experience, new ways to sideload and install apps, major System Settings updates, improved core apps, and desktop refinements.

While reminiscent of Mac OS, Pantheon is actually much more well thought out. The 5.1 update, which again is really just a culmination of the numerous updates that the elementary team had rolled into version 5.0 over time, makes this desktop even better. For example, they have changed the way certain settings are laid out, making them much more logical. Case in point are the mouse and touchpad settings.

elementary OS is one of those distros that is changing the physiognomy of the Linux desktop. With the aim of making the best operating system in the world available to everyone, this version improves it, personalizes it and provides it with a unique and elegant touch without equal in the panorama of Linux desktop environments, but also on proprietary platforms such as macOS or Windows.

Also, the 5.1 Hera version of elementary OS, along with all of the functional updates, translations, and issue fixes, comes the latest hardware enablement provided by Linux 5.0 and the long-term support (LTS) hardware enablement (HWE) stack from Canonical. This includes improved support for more recent processors, GPUs, input devices, and more.

Are you still undecided about whether or not to switch to Linux? Are you still tied to the Apple tax? Or are you just fed up with the insecurity of Windows or the slowness of its updates? Here then is the time to test the power of Linux by hand through a simple and elegant distribution, specially designed for those who love Apple environments or for those who come directly from Windows. Give elementary OS a chance and you won’t regret it: the solidity of the Linux kernel, the Ubuntu hardware stack updates and the typical elegance of the Macintosh.
