I have been using elementary on my laptops since 2013. If you want to give Linux a try, I recommend it over Ubuntu or Fedora. (KDE is nice, but I didn't try it in years).

I really wish they had more resources. I mean look at theses mockups from years ago ! (Nothing offical). https://www.deviantart.com/bassultra/art/Spreadsheet-3631475... https://www.deviantart.com/spiceofdesign/art/Writer-Concept-...

The default apps aren't this great. For my workflow nowadays it's mostly Firefox, Tilix, Visual Studio Code. + VirtualBox for Word and Kali Linux (I work as a pentester). But the virtual desktops, the launcher and the file browser are a pleasure to use.

Also it's based on Ubuntu, so all your commands from the Internet will works.




And finally good default touchpad gestures on Linux in the next version. https://blog.elementary.io/multitouch-gestures-in-elementary...
