Linux is a very large ecosystem. We can find it in all kinds of devices, from computers and servers to consoles, home devices connected to the Internet and, of course, in most smartphones, since Android is based on it. Although all systems and all distros share a common core, each one is different and seeks to adapt to the needs of each user in the best possible way and this time it is Elementary OS turn to a linux distro that offers us excellent features.
Elementary OS is a Debian-based Linux distro whose main objective is to take care of its appearance to the smallest detail to make it as easy as possible for all users to use. This distro began its journey within Linux as a simple icon pack, however, the concept liked many developers who in a short time got down to work to create the distro we know today.
We are facing a system that, although it takes great care of appearance and details, is greatly optimized so that the system starts quickly, applications open almost instantly and we can make the most of every second. Thanks to open source, we can be sure at all times that both the operating system and the apps comply with security and privacy standards. Anyone can review the code, even collaborate on the project with full transparency. This distro does not listen to users, and when an app accesses the microphone we can know it at all times. The same goes for location services.
It is not one of the lightest Linux distros that we can find on the market. Although it is not one of the most demanding requirements. Taking into account the large number of effects and details that this system offers, we could say that the minimum requirements are quite balanced:
▸Dual-core Intel Core i3 processor with 64-bit support (or equivalent).
▸4 GB of RAM.
▸Hard drive or SSD (recommended) with 15 GB of free space.
▸Internet connection.
▸1024 × 768 resolution screen.
