Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use, manage and very flexible. Everything (in most cases) is running flawlessly out of the box.
  • - Easy to use - Amazing intro into Linux - Fast with little overhead
  • 1. Super Fast. 2. Customized ubuntu so large collection of software. 3. Store works better than ubuntu store. 4. Fully Customizable.(100% except kernel that also you can do from source code) 5. Light Weight. 6. Easy to use. 7. Installing websites as apps natively.

Cons

  • In some cases, you need to use the terminal for accomplishing and sorting out things.
  • - May need to learn terminal commands depending on use - Compatibility poorer than windows - May not integrate with certain windows enterprise solutions
  • 1. Basic software such as Cheese (Camera) not there. 2. After setup need to change some boot options which can be confusing for new comers. 3. Does not have some multimedia codecs preinstalled. 4. Does not have the property wireless driver installed while installation of Linux Mint. 5. No basic animations (but this increases speed)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • elementary OS is easy to install and to configure once you've installed. elementary is also based in Ubuntu, so you can use Ubuntu software on this distro.

Cons

  • Pantheon desktop can take some time to adapt. No desktop icons. On my machine, sometimes I would put my password to login, pressed enter, and the same screen would appear, making me put my password again. One day, I installed the NVIDIA drivers from the elementary OS store and the desktop didn't work. There aren't much apps after installation.
