Folks who have used #elementaryos recently, what do you think? I think I am going to try it and see what I think. #mint is my fallback.

@macinjosh I tried it very recently on a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 tablet and it was unusable due to what I imagine were display driver issues. The touch screen also didn’t work correctly. It seemed real nice and probably could have been fixed with some work but I decided not to bother and put Ubuntu back on. So all to say, beautiful system but depending on hardware be prepared to have to tinker with display stuff

@macinjosh I’ve switched back to it since version 8 was released and it’s been great. I’m using it on a desktop PC with dual 2.5k monitors. X11 window session is still a better experience than Wayland at the moment, so unless you have specific Wayland requirements, like mixed DPI on multi-monitor then I recommend X11. Also there is a fair few of the apps designed for elementary that haven’t been made Wayland compatible yet.

@macinjosh lot's of bugs and annoyances. If you want to use Elementary OS, recommend you use OS7 and migrate later, perhaps after a year or so, when OS8 might become stable.

@macinjosh I split my time between elementaryOS and Fedora. Both run great on my Lenovo T480 and my HP EliteBook 1030 x360 G7 with touch and stylus input. I have a few other machines here, but those are the primary.
