What is rather surprising is the fact, that Elementary OS still doesn’t offer an upgrade option. It’s updated and fancier looking than the old-school Ubiquity installer, but if you’ve ever set up an Android or an iOS device, you won’t be very surprised. I won’t bore you with the details of installation process. Elementary showing brief description of the review laptop Can’t even blame the display drivers, as Intel iGPU are usually well supported in Linux. True, it’s not nearly as powerful as my Ryzen 7 2700X workstation nor my M1 Macbook Air, but it’s far from the lowest of the low-ends and should run any desktop just fine. Today, as a part time macOS user, part time Gnome 3.38/40 user I can say, that Pantheon (the desktop environment of ElementaryOS) is both quite intriguing in its features and, unfortunately also sluggishness on my machine. If you haven’t read them, here’s a TL DR: I like ElementaryOS, I’ve installed and recommended it to users in the past, but I ‘ve found the last release, the 5.1 Hera not measuring up to the likes of Ubuntu 20.04. If you’ve read my previous Elementary OS reviews ( here and here), you probably know my feelings on it.

I’ve also had the unfortune to support a bunch of Windows 10 desktop, so I think I can at least compare various desktop operating systems and measure their merit.
I still use Ubuntu 20.04 on my workstation at the office, various Ubuntu LTS releases on my servers and a few months ago, I installed Fedora 34 on my home-office workstation (long-term review coming), but I’ve switched from a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3 with a distro-du-jour to an M1 Macbook Air running unsurprisingly macOS Big Sur. I probably will write a short story on my transformation from an obsessed FOSS-only zealot to a privacy-minded, practicality-inclined user of whatever tool fits the best. In past years, I’ve toned down my “Linux on everything” push and went slightly more practical in my day-to-day life. Since I haven’t written anything in a while, much less a comprehensive distribution review, a little updated background info is in order.
