I haven't tried ElementaryOS in years. It was always too opinionated for me.

But glad they are still releasing updated ISO's.

Great distro, I ran it on the daily too for a good while. It's extremely well designed and if you are willing to give the benefit of the doubt with its design opinions, I think you'll often come to agree with them (not all, but many)

Only thing I don't like about it was the bugs and not having an in-place upgrade path stops me from calling it a "beginner friendly" distribution. I admire their ambition though, given they're just a small boutique distro and they've done some great work for UX in the free desktop.

Are desktop shortcuts still a no-no with this distro?
