ELEMENTARY OS JUNO INSTALL
I don’t think making new users install GPU drivers in terminal is the most user-friendly approach. One thing, that I find sorely missing in the settings menu are drivers. It is a distro I would be comfortable recommending to complete newbies and I wouldn’t worry too much about them shooting themselves in the foot. I accept all those limitations though, as I don’t see ElementaryOS as a distro aimed at tinkerers and control-freaks. Setting the default terminal shell is also impossible in the default terminal emulator, as Apart from choosing dark variant of the default theme, there isn’t much you can do about the looks of the OS, and even that requires you to jump through hoops and install the Tweaks app. You can’t disable the infuriating default behaviour of Files app, that opens all folders and files with a single click. For one, the launcher panel is locked to the bottom of the screen. In some respects, it is even more locked down than the often mentioned source of inspiration. It is, however, kinda limited in it’s customizability. Pretty much every window and every notification looks like it’s been handcrafted to look professional and beautiful. Pantheon desktop environment, which many consider an MacOS look-alike hides more thought put into proper design than any other DE I know off. There is one main reason why you may choose to use ElementaryOS over any other distro. I haven’t used Music at all, as I don’t carry around my music library on my laptop and instead rely on Spotify.
ELEMENTARY OS JUNO CODE
One simple feature, that really impressed even non-linuxy onlookers was the quick-settings of color palette in two of my most used applications, Code and Terminal.
Others were a lot better though, and I will miss them when I move on to another distro from my bucket list. I’ve had bad time with the default mail client with constant crashes and trouble opening my messages.Įpiphany, the default web browser is capable, but can’t fully replace Firefox in my workflow without hurting my productivity. These are very well polished and even though may be lacking a feature or two, their overall well though out design makes them joy to be used. One of the more interesting aspects of ElementaryOS is it’s own set of apps. I must say, that apart from some lazy copies of well-know applications, most I tried are rather nice and fitting very well with the rest of the user experience. Beside the usuals, it offers a variety of applications built specifically for ElementaryOS.
ELEMENTARY OS JUNO SOFTWARE
If you decide to stay withing the confines as defined by ElementaryOS team, you can get your software needs fulfilled by the offerings in their own AppCenter. I can understand not wanting users to install whatever crappy ppa they find online, but I really feel like a distro based upon Ubuntu 18.04 should come with snapd preinstalled. There is no snaps nor ppa support by default and you need to set it up.
Otherwise app installation was pretty straightforward, as ElementaryOS shares the package manager and repositories with Canonical’s Ubuntu… That is if you don’t need something that isn’t in there. When I decided to polish up my presentation, I found out I’d have to sacrifice pricy megabytes of my cellular carrier’s data plan to install the required LibreOffice packages. It might have had not hurt as much, but my first running of ElementaryOS was on my morning train commute to University. I like that it’s not pulled down by heaps of bloatware, but I come to expect at least some office suite preinstalled with my distributions. After the installation, I got welcomed by a beautiful desktop and lackluster offering of pre-installed applications.
ELEMENTARY OS JUNO UPGRADE
Still, this has to be considered a flaw, when even Microsoft has figured a way to somewhat reliably upgrade it’s major OS versions. This may not trouble most users, as the release schedule is slower than I’m used to and every version is basically an LTS.
ELEMENTARY OS JUNO FULL
After that, I was forced to do a full reinstall to get all the new goodies out of the distro. I have been impatient and have installed the previous version, Loki, a few weeks before Juno’s release. I wish I could say the installation was standard painless affair, but for some reason ElementaryOS still doesn’t support upgrading between major releases. Even so, that it made me forgive the OS some shortcomings I may have harder time biting through otherwise. It is a strange thing though, because even though I really dislike MacOS look and feel, I find ElementaryOS UX very appealing. Considering all that, I decided that the best way to start would be with the eyecatching first look of this flawed beauty. It has been long time coming and you might say, it’s been coming since the first time I’ve heard about this distro. I’ve spent a long while thinking about the right words to start off this review.
