"elementary OS is based on Ubuntu LTS releases and was first introduced in 2011. From its early days to the present, elementary OS has retained a similar design scheme, and for those who know it, you've probably thought all along, "This looks a lot like MacOS." I believe that was intentional. Given that MacOS has been heralded for years as being one of the more user-friendly operating systems, it makes sense that elementary OS would resemble Apple's OS."
"For about five years, elementary OS was my Linux distribution of choice. I found it charming, well-designed, efficient, and user-friendly. Fast forward about 10 years, and Ubuntu Budgie usurped Pop!_OS for a couple of years. Both of these desktop operating systems should be considered options for those new to Linux and those who are well seasoned in the open-source OS."
elementary OS and Ubuntu Budgie are Ubuntu-based Linux desktop distributions that combine attractive design with usability for both newcomers and experienced users. elementary OS emphasizes a polished, Mac-like aesthetic, a consistent design language, and efficiency tied to Ubuntu LTS releases, allowing strong performance on modest hardware. Ubuntu Budgie emphasizes desktop flexibility and customization while remaining accessible, delivering adaptable workflows and configuration options. Both distributions share similar cores and goals despite differing visual approaches. elementary OS prioritizes simplicity and a curated experience; Ubuntu Budgie prioritizes configurability and user control, making the choice dependent on preference for minimalism versus flexibility.
