Elementary OS is in a strange place for me.

Coming from MacOS, it does so many things right and Danielle and the other contributors have such a great mindset focusing on accessibility and platform building.

With their dev conference, they’re doing great work encouraging people towards native app development with an eye to performance and HIG.

Everything looks so good.

And yet, as a daily driver for development, it’s just never quite there. The edge cases stand out enough that I always want to reach for Manjaro or Zorin or the like instead.

But I love their approach and think it’s ultimately “the right one”, so even when I’m not using it, I can only support them and cheer them on.
