elementary OS
http://elementaryos.org/

What are your guys' opinions on it? Do you think it stacks up well to more popular distros, namely Ubuntu and Linux Mint? I recently downloaded it and I love it.

Um no. It is however based on Ubuntu. Following your logic, if elementary OS is Ubuntu, then so is Linux Mint and Ubuntu is actually Debian. None of those things are true though.

That is actually much truer than you might think, Ubuntu, Debian and Mint share more things than they do not. The main difference is that they are maintained by different people with different ideas, more than 90% of all the packages are the same.

The only differences between Elementary and Ubuntu are the desktop environment, a few configuration files and the default applications.

I've never played with it
There's no need
Debian is enough for me
you're the one who have to test it
and if you like it, use it
Um, no ♥♥♥♥. That is why I did use it and I love it. I guess you didn't read my OP. I was asking for other's opinions on it.

Same to you.

If you guys have nothing to contribute to the thread, why even post?

I tested it briefly and is not that good for gaming in its default state.
For desktop usage is pretty nice though, nicely polished.

Care to explain?
The current version of Elementary is based on Ubuntu 12.04, meaning extremely old open source drivers and kernel.

The current version is Freya which has the 3.13 kernel and is based on Ubuntu 14.04...
My bad. The same thing still applies, though.

What thing applies? Just let the dude I quoted answer, it was his comment anyway I want to know why HE said it, no offense to you.
You're right, I'm sorry.

@Rogue I did some benchmarks (namely Unigine ones) and seems that its window-manager (Gala) is slowing things down a bit.

Like I said, I tested it just briefly so I don't know much about it.
I was on a distro-testing spree searching for something friendly to recommend to a newbie.

To be exact, out of curiosity I tried also to run the same benchmarks in a plain X-server where the results were much better.

Now you do make me wonder, which distro won?

To be fair with you guys, I think elementary OS should be discontinued and the developers should instead focus on developing and improving their Pantheon desktop environment. The developers would then have an API with all their apps linked to that Pantheon DE much like KDE, GNOME and Unity and others. Thereafter, any Linuxer could install the Pantheon DE on any Linux distro they choose. Elementary OS without Pantheon is just pointless; hence for the betterment of work and efficiency more time should be spent on the DE than a big distro. Indeed, elementary OS is Ubuntu but with another desktop environment; much like Ubuntu is Debian likewise; thereof we're all Linux.

Heh, no one.
Before I could make up my mind the guy just installed Ubuntu.

It was pretty interesting though, my last distro-hopping spree ended around 2004 when I settled with Mandriva (now Mageia).
And lately I kept hearing about new wonder distros (Zorin, Elementary etc) so it was a good occasion to see what's the fuss all about.

ElementaryOS is a good OS for laptops. Pantheon is a really lightwheight, simple, and good looking DE. Perfect for new/casual linux users that don't really want to get involved in OS customization.

Last time I tried it (A long time ago) it had some stability problems, though. I'm not sure if that has been fixed.
