Let's talk about ElementaryOS. I'll start.
Good
It's comfy as fuck. DE is great in regard of both visuals and usability. I grew to hate the flat look meme which is forced upon my throat by other DEs.
Some of the default apps are fine. Music player, mail client, calendar. For sure it has the best applauncher out there. I really like its terminal.
It's stable. It's based on Ubuntu LTS so it rarely does something weird.
Devs are responsive in regard of bugs. They are open to discussion for improvements as well.
Bad
Basically Ubuntu reskin. I'm sad that there are not that many technical projects. Even Solus with their package manager that does not handle libs clearance.. it's nice to see someone taking up the effort.
Epiphany browser as default? Disabling PPAs and general hostility toward third party app producers... devs make some weird choices.
Discuss anon.

I love how it looks but random memory leaks and tedious bugs pushed me away back to Ubuntu

Source?

You mean Samba one?

There were Elementary Tweaks, Elementary Apps and Elementary Extra Icons projects.
None of them got included in their repo. And since the new release they don't support PPAs by default (you can install package for that though).
I haven't seen any open hostility.. but since their style guidelines are strict... I think you should help thirdpart devs at publishing their apps for your OS.

Dropped.

is there any reason I should switch from Xubuntu to this?
>>
>>57834865
Should have just installed Solus instead.
>>
>>57834865
you should better use antergos and install gnome (or XFCE or anything else you like) arch. It s way better than ubuntu or elementary os.
>>
>>57836520
No, we have Ubuntu themes like Macbuntu so you totally don't need to.

always want to try it out.
but i'm so comfy on my cinnamon ubuntu.

Ahh, the distro that combines the obnoxious elitism of Linux users with the obnoxious elitism of macfags
Elementary users are fucking insufferable. Plus it's significantly less versatile and buggy than other mainstream distros because they gut Ubuntu so much.
If you want a non ugly Linux then go with budgie

>>57834865
I really want to like it. It's sleek and comfy looking but outside of that, it uses outdated libraries, you can't customize anything, it's very power-user unfriendly, the devs are pretty terrible philosophy-wise and all in all, it's just buggy. I don't know why it's hyped up so much.
And even when I think about trying Loki long-term to hopefully understand some of the hype, I remember that you couldn't upgrade from Freya and I don't want to have to deal with the hassle of a clean install when the next version comes out.

>but since their style guidelines are strict
Yeah, a disto that is a fucking blatant and bold faced rip off of Mac OS really has the right to dictate what people can do with their style.

>>57836058
You know, you can always install another browser
>>
>>57842498
No. The stock browser should be either Google Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox.
