Elementary OS installed on a MacBook Pro 2014. There was some hurdles on the way. I had to find a thunderbolt dock to make a internet connection and the drive was not to easy to format. But it works now ,and most important,it is safe to use again #linux #newbie #elementaryos8 #dropwindows #goodbyemacos

#elementaryos8 🎉

Elementary OS 8 is out, and it's a solid upgrade with wayland and flatpaks installed by default. The distro is very well thought out, beautiful UI.

My only reservations are that the CPU usage is pretty high even when nothing is running, and the elementary-specific apps use lots of RAM. I'd love to see it more optimized, less cpu usage, and ~1 GB of RAM on a clean boot. Chromebooks could be converted to it easily then.

Enjoying this beauty at ( #elementaryos8 ) @elementary ; almost broke it installing snap (trying to break it as a Linux noob) and barely survived. I am not sure but still running ok.
Any way, I already love it and everything seems to work as far as hardware tweaking it. Great work so far

@itsfoss I'll always love #Ubuntu because it's so easy to install and setup on any laptop. I can quickly get up and going, and just run a shell script to setup my dev env. Recently been using #elementaryos8 so that the younger ones in my family can play around with Linux safely. I've used #RedHat and #centos professionally. I tried #fedora but it was a pain to find and install drivers.
