i tried elementary os a few years ago and it was a mess

Wow!

At this rate I'm not sure what they're accomplishing. Chasing behind Ubuntu LTS is a pretty lame game plan when 16.04 is just as usable for a newcomer. This only ever needed to be a DE project.

Fucking eOs, it just gets worse and worse honestly.

Xubuntu still stronk

Is it free now?

0.3 is still broken, most of "their own" applications are a mess and shit keeps crashing.
it's honestly the distro that brought me to linux, but i've always found it unusable after a few days

i always has been, check you keyboard for "0"

I guess he probably meant "is it free without having those guys call me a thief behind my back"

Their cockiness is so astounding that I'm surprised they don't use a rooster as a mascot. For example in the 0.4 Beta release announcement they thank everyone for financial support and mention stuff like donations and Patreon--money that comes rolling in over time--as putting food on the table. Consider that alongside how fucking snippy they were any time one of those grocery-payers asked when the goddamn release was finally going to happen.

There's a line between expecting fair compensation for fair work and feeling entitled to cash flow under your own stuck-up conditions. They're clearly on the latter side.

Oh and if I recall correctly the thievery comment was public, not behind anyone's back.

Yeah but didn't they then remove that part where they called people thieves?

Anyways it's fucking disgusting and their shit is really buggy and worthless.

"t's been an uphill battle to get people to want to pay for our software. [...]
But the majority of people still type in "0" and we're nowhere near being able to afford a salary for all the folks that work on elementary OS. If we could just get to a point where half of the people who download put in $1, we'd see insane growth and be able to invest that right back into making even more awesome software."

wow, worse than i thought actually

Yeah 0.3 was broken from release and they never fixed it. They also used the old Ayatana indicators and hacked some shit with granite to round off the popover menus.
At least with this release they replaced that shit, took them fuckin bloody long time.
Gala was really horrible on multi monitor, and that zoom-stretch effect when maximizing windows was just utter shit.
At the 0.3 release elementary had massed a large active community, that totally died after 3-4 months because they never fixed the fundamental problems they had at release and just patched small bugs.

Looks like generic shit.

yeah, great idea right?!

Holy shit the people in the comments.

Well if you could convince flat earthers to support you with donations I guess anything works.

"Had to turn on the MacBook today after having not used it in a couple days. Reason? Inkscape doesn't work with HiDPI. I tried installing the gtk3 trunk, but it's super broken.

good vid

also not even showing what's going on thes screen
centers camera on himself

I tried this one too but it's just so bloated imo

lol

Just look at the bug tracker. Most of these are so banal and obviously stemming from its immaturity. What's the point of dealing with all this when other distributions and desktop environments have solved this?

midori still only browser; as default

triggered. well done.

lol wow they want to be paid for putting a theme on ubuntu and hosting it on their site?

>beta
"no"

what makes it better than my deepin? not a sarcastic question. im a newb.

using 64-bit Freya on a 7 year old Gateway laptop
>got rid of Midori for Chrome (i own a Chromecast)
>installed eOS Tweaks
>enabled Canonical Repos.
>shitjustwerks.jpg

But that's where ur wrong kiddo.

Pantheon has miller columns, all other DEs should learn from them

looks fucking atrocious

How?

kill yourself

How's the scaling?

>waaaaaah people want to afford food

Nice malware collection

It looks the same as the other releases faggot

It's not a communist botnet.

Fucking lmao

>no .deb or apt-get out of the box
what the shit, it's linux not macOS.

>if I type "le" and "xd" it makes it bad right?

not very fond of this approach desu

It's disgusting. This is an example of a real wallpaper.

That actually is very nice. Japan?

Yes. You can find some pretty cool shit on this guy's Flickr.

uh but it does

You idiot, you don´t know any distro besides the hipster starbucks hype white copertino osx cheap nomoneyforamac shit.

Read a little.

in the description, it said no default .deb program, and apt-get isn't activated at install.

wtf. it did in 0.3. no idea why the fuck they would do that

>this isn't ubuntu, this is unique!!

I don't understand why this exists. Yes it looks vaguely okay out of the box, but it's Ubuntu GNOME with plank, their forks of a few programs which are worse in every way, and midori which doesn't work. It just doesn't. The whole DE crashes all the time, you know, just to top it all off.

That's because you're expected to use this distro on a Macbook, goy.

sorry i do not want no china on my desktop i am AMERICAN

it's ubuntu: macfag bait edition. that's pretty much all there is to it.

Then take this marvelous Mesa for your desktop.

These are beautiful, thank you.

Looks very good many thanks
I like how it's all orange and yellow and not blue

>.jpg

Why does no one use .png?

Rather keep using my Ubuntu.

because camera shoots in jpg
AFAIK windows converts pngs to jpgs before setting wallpaper anyways

Apricity OS looks better and is rolling release

Reminder: You're a thief if you don't pay the elementary "devs" for repackaging Ubuntu

>abandoning your workplace for a shitty OS

Ironically, the site you linked had a pop-up asking me to disable my ad-blocker.

man everything about that video is annoying, but most of all the music. it's that kind of generic shit hipster advert music that's in almost all hipster tech adverts

I remember when people used to make ripoff OS X themes for free.

(I also remember when OS X was something people actually envied.)

Oh god all these transformation packs
These were worse than malware
Completely fuck up OS often without an option to uninstall
And when they do they still leave the OS dead inside

Can somebody explain the hype around this project to me? Last time I tried it it missed a lot of basic features. It does look good, but Xubuntu looks just as great.

An OS for children

>debian+gnome with a theme and dock

lol no thanks.

B-but it's their own de

...

the whole
>we're just 2-I mean 8- months behind Ubuntu guys, honest!
meme is completely retarded
they need to fold and become an Ubuntu flavor or die

The irony is that they expect you to pay them, yet they don't give back to Ubuntu or Debian

>chrome
>steam
>skype

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Why did you switch to GNU/Linux when you're going to install the same proprietary botnet trash?

Go back to windows faggot.

>developed by a tranny

No piss off

Have you paid for it?
If you haven't you're basically a thief.
There's a reason why instead of free download button you have to put price 0$.
You're abusing the system.
Seriously, fuck this shitty distro and their Jew devs.

>hey guys, I have a great idea! why don't we give Linux an actually nice looking DE that normies will love to use?
>but instead of packaging it as a DE that anyone can use on their distro, we'll make it its own distro revolving around our specific DE, Debian, and some outdated packages?

source?

buy a dslr that shoots in PNG i guess

Are you actually autistic.

why the fuck would you do this

Runs like shit on my laptop.
It's pretty, but not worth the shit performance.

to get pngs

Exactly this
eOS was always redundant
Now it's just more so

so lose both the information in RAW and the compression of JPG? get me the fuck off of this retard train

ye but you get png!!!

That's smart actually.

Normies want an integrated system.

I installed it some hours ago and really like it so far

I gave up on elementary OS after Jupiter

Jupiter was better than everything that came after it....

"No Unsafe Software Sources
In the interest of promoting secure software installation methods, as of this release there is no default app for handling .deb packages and the command line tool add-apt-repository is not available by default. These tools are available to install from the default repos, but the stance going forward is that software should come from vetted, secure sources or in sandboxed package formats. If you’re worried about how users will be able to get and install your apps, don’t panic! We’ll have a follow up announcement soon."


They aren't allowing .deb package installs anymore. Really lame for those who like to easily install shit without a command line.

he has a gay lisp
