Elementary OS 0.3 “Freya” is released

Interesting fact: This version was supposed to be called Isis until, well you know...<p>Isis is a nice name with interesting mythological significance. Sad that it has been ruined for the foreseeable future.

I installed the previous release (luna) a while ago on an older pc I had laying around. I was really impressed. Though much of it is a ripoff of OS X design it&#x27;s a pretty well done ripoff and coming from a Mac I think it&#x27;s the most usable linux distro I&#x27;ve used so far. I&#x27;d love to see more adoption of this project, as it has a lot of potential to make linux more usable to non-technical types.

For anyone who likes the look of it but doesn&#x27;t want to go off their current Linux distro, you can just download the Pantheon desktop.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;Pantheon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;Pantheon</a>

This is one of the linux flavors i actually like using. Great going guys.

Do you know if the Elementary OS Luna gets updated automatically to the new Freya version?

Can I Upgrade Luna to Freya?

So between this and mint cinnamon, what&#x27;s the best choice to install to parents and friends that have little knowledge of *nix, but need a PC to work, email and IM with?

Anyone use linux (via Virtualbox) on a MBP? I really miss Linux but I really do not wanna fuck around with hardware&#x2F;drivers anymore. And eOS is just gorgeous.

How is the HiDPI support in this version? I&#x27;m afraid to go to the trouble of making a live usb if everything is small.

I wonder how sustainable is their development method, are the UI changes to apps accepted upstream?

Thinks this Linux distribution gets the desktop look right!

Free, online operating systems that &quot;install&quot; in less than 2 seconds and never ask for any payment are the wave of the future. Oh, and did I mention the integrated AI?<p>My web-based implementation of Unix: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urdesk.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urdesk.net</a><p>To go straight to the AI: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urdesk.net&#x2F;desk?intro=bertie" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urdesk.net&#x2F;desk?intro=bertie</a><p>I am always looking for help!
