About

The RedPear OS project aims to solve a large number of deficiencies noted in other GNU / Linux distributions, such as :

Best overall aesthetic to the rationalization of the user interface ;
Reduce dependence on software using core apps written in C or Vala ;
Reduce the need for terminal use.

Although not contrary to the GNU philosophy, these deliberate choices of design differ from what most GNU / Linux distributions choose : freedom to create and customize your own desktop environment. The guidelines for human interface of the OS project RedPear focus on a good usibilidade with a gentle learning curve , rather than the full possibility of customization of the system.

Since its inception , the Redpear received both praise and criticism for its design , reminiscent of the Mac OS X both visual design and user experience .
