  • one of the best linux operating systems that looks like mac and windows in 1. Though zorin os does look best for the windows side, this is the best for the mac due to its customization settings. so i've compared it to some other linux mac based operating systems and this seems to be the best. Some stuff is worst but the others looked out dated and old. this actually looks modern. With some tweaks by adding Cairo-dock and some other things, it looks like a proper mac.
  • WOW, JUST WOW!!! PearlDesktop-7.1-2018-11-18_i386.iso and PearlDesktop-7.1_amd64.iso are the MOST RESPONSIVE Linux Distros with all the wonderful flash of Compiz I have ever used OOTB! PearlDesktop-7.1-2018-11-18_i386.iso has some glitches, appears to access 8GB of RAM mainly the Application menu failure with a /home/scott/... referenced in the error, then it locks up, but PearlDesktop-7.1_amd64.iso IS BUTTERSCOTCH in initial testing!

  • i havent tried out this specific version yet but i have tried the majority and all of them have been great for application they were designed for and there is a flavor for every machine built it seems from slower old ones rasberry pi all the way up to top of the line monster machines. during my early quest to find a suitable replacement for windows pearl linux was light a beacon shinning bright in rough seas. it was user friendly enough for me to make the swith comfortably without too much confusion, it gave new life to my old hp mini when i was ready to give it up and toss it and it gave ahhh, and amazement in the beauty once i managed to get a much better laptop that could handle all the visual effects pearl had to offer and it never disapointed me beautiful distro hands down my favorite linux flavor so far and pearl is kind of like my first love it will always hold a place in my heart. its very obvious you guys love this project and take alot of time and care in every detail to be able to provide an os built for the masses. keep it up.
