    Hey guys,

    I would say that a lot of you have heard of Elementary OS. I wasn't a big fan of their Jupiter distro but Luna is a million times better. Its based on Ubuntu 12.04 and ships with its own lightweight dock (by the guys behind docky), window manager, desktop environment, and specifically built applications such as music player etc.

    Its only in unstable daily builds at the moment but its super smooth and I have only crossed two very non-intrusive bugs. Nothing major at all.



    Choose your poison here :)

    Looks like a Mac.

    I don't mean that in either a good way or a bad way. :/

    Yeah it definitly takes some ideas from mac, but I would argue that it takes ideas from other OS's as well.

    I've never used osx so I cant comment on similarities apart from the look.
