It&#x27;s certainly simple to use; it has fewer customizable features out of the box than any distro I&#x27;ve ever seen.<p>I primarily install it on adults&#x27; whose children have left home and older people&#x27;s computers (which are disproportionately devices powerful enough to run Vista but with &lt;4GB RAM), put the three or four apps they need in Plank, integrate their email, and transfer over their bookmarks and contacts, and leave them to it. I don&#x27;t even tell them it&#x27;s Linux.<p>It runs well on older hardware, has excellent support, and looks nice. Besides Skype&#x27;s shit Linux support, it&#x27;s a perfect platform for them to digitally reconnect with family and friends without having to worry about any unnecessary details.<p>For it&#x27;s downsides, it&#x27;s less responsive than OS X, or animations and actions don&#x27;t feel as tight, and it really doesn&#x27;t want to be tinkered with. As a general use OS, though, it&#x27;s pretty complete.
