DORO ⋈<p>I replaced Linux Mint with elementary OS, and I’m very happy with it. Mint is not bad, but it’s not exactly what I was looking for. I’m sure elementary is it. After using it for several hours, I can say that it’s even faster than Mint and looks super nice. I love how light it is.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elementaryOS</span></a></p>

Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:<p>I feel like every few months I have to convince myself that I shouldn't make a Linux icon set. I know it would be too much work for me and take too long, <strong>but</strong> I feel it would be really fun at least for a while. I basically want to mash elementary and GNOME styles together, make my own color palette for them, and just steal the elementary cursor theme with basically no changes because it's so good.</p><p>But I also would just be making it for me because I don't want to become a project maintainer and don't want to field a bunch of icon requests</p><p><a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/icons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>icons</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/elementaryos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elementaryOS</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a></p>

Alexander Deplov 🇩🇪<p>Today, I tried <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElementaryOS</span></a>, and it looks very polished and nice. The only thing I don't understand is why CMD isn't the default instead of CTRL. It claims to be a replacement for macOS, which I like, but it seems like there is no option to set it up in the settings or installer. </p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@elementary" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>elementary</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>danirabbit</span></a></span></p>
