I echo most of the author&#x27;s excitements but for the ElementaryOS.<p>I&#x27;ve just stopped looking at any other distro after installing the latest, Freya, which is also based on 14.04.<p>Elementary doesn&#x27;t have many of the UX shortcuts that the latest Mint has, and has far less developers working on it, but it&#x27;s still such a joy to use.
