For sure. I daily drove it for a long time many years ago when it was starting.

I tried it again recently when I was looking for a Linux OS for my moms 2009 white MacBook, since the default DE wouldn’t be too hard for her to understand.

I forgot how you legit can’t customize anything without external tools, PPAs and DEB support is disabled and requires a terminal command to enable, which is not user friendly at all for people new to Linux. Their App Store is also super buggy and the updates would make it crash every time I tried to run them, so again, had to resort to the terminal.

Lastly, I was surprised at how poorly it ran. I know it has a Core 2 Duo and « only » 6 GB of RAM, but every other distro I tried (Solus, Mint Cinnamon, Fedora) ram perfectly fine.

It’s just sad because it used to be a nice distro IMO. Now I can’t see myself recommending it.

/rant over, sorry
