@danrabbit@mastodon.social My only experience with Elementary OS is through a friend of mine, who decided he was sick of Windows and thought it was the best looking option on my list of alternatives. Installed it for him with no problems whatsoever.

A year later he couldn't be happier, and I've even considered switching myself. I don't know if you're aiming to create the entry-level Linux desktop that Ubuntu was for me more than 10 years ago (and still is, tbh), but if you are you're certainly succeeding.
