The slowness you experienced may have been limited to your hardware. I’m running a Celeron 1.8GHz single-core with 4GB RAM and Elementary OS is fast for me.

Your hardware performance might have been system specific as I just installed elementary OS on an old Dell Inspiron 1200 laptop; 1.3ghz CPU, 512mb RAM and a 40gb HD and with the exception of system intense actions, it’s running rather smoothly for the low specs it’s running on right now. Installing was actually a bit unbearable and I could not download updates during install nor install the third party addons due to the 512mb of ram. Once installed to harddrive though I was able to get the rest of it all installed. Installing through software center is a bit slow, but installing via terminal is so much quicker. For the sake of it though, I did order a 1gb RAM stick for this old laptop.

Almost as good as Pear was OOTB, but trying to change display settings when running from the CD (“launcher placement” on other monitor doesn’t work correctly, and your settings are ignored no matter how many times you try)…

Nice and Zippy, may be my new distro!

Hello! Gratz for this amazing review that it made me to test it and like it ;) But for to be honest i still find gnome 3 in the terms of polish…a bit more improved and polished. Still Elementary OS give you a more retro style…i dont know if its the whole transperancy of gnome 3 and the great luncher with beautiful icons but well i think that icons of Elementary are still kinda cartoon style?!

In reply to Mark Knights. Use a liveusb/cd instead. You don't want kde along side pantheon

I also would say, the Terminal is pretty much perfect! Type codes in terminal which running Tmux and VIM are enjoyful! Choose it, new name — Luna!

Can you runs KDE environment in Elementary? I am relatively new to Elementary and I am a professional programmer. I would like to compare Pantheon and KDE so is this possible?

Great review, the comparisons with the other DEs help to understand where elementary stands in term of user experience. Keep it up.
