It gets completely out of the way. Everything is well integrated. For the people rating this below 7, I assume they are Linux advanced users or "Experts" who "think" that this is a bad distribution because they can't use apt, then can't tweak the OS, etc. etc. etc. And that's exactly the point! Just like a regular "driver" who buys a car, hops in it, and doesn't care about tightening a nut on a wheel every day, or changing the car oil/filter, or changing the engine ignition coil for a higher spark/efficiency, and ...... you get the idea. This is a "Turn on, forget it and get work done" appliance style OS, and done the way it should be. So, to nay sayers, go to a standard *nix distribution and tweak your hearts out, until you can no longer boot and then have to re-install! Excellent distribution and engineering concepts (and great manual on their site) Was this review helpful?

Version six seems to be better. Without the standard Linux Desktop, I do not feel like using it on, a daily basis. I do not like its root only file system. The fact that, One cannot arrange applications, in groups is the downside. What attracted me was its cellphone like front end. Deleting applications is bit difficult. It always wants to update its applications and that hampers installing new ones. I prefer it on a USB stick but did not try it on a USB stick. Was this review helpful?

As of today, May 24, 2024, I have upgraded to version 6.0.0 on the same hardware minus the Python development apps(they were moved to another computer). The upgrade process was easy and simple. The Updates tab in the Endless App Center offered the upgrade to 6.0. Select the Upgrade button, be patient, select the Restart button, reboot. Now, I am at version 6.0.0. You can double check in the About section and CLI using "sudo ostree admin status". I have been running version 6.0 for a few weeks now. It has been a stable and safe experience with Endless OS for over the last year. I am running the Basic edition without the education apps installed. The Basic edition ISO approximate 3GB in size is all you need if you are not in the Education sector. I run updates on the Updates tab in the App Center on a daily basis. I run from the CLI "sudo ostree admin upgrade" on a weekly basis, for a sanity check. Endless OS is my daily driver. I highly recommend Endless OS! Was this review helpful?
