Concept of Elementary OS is elementary.

It has a small footprint to start with but it can expand to one's needs.

Its look is something like MacOS with square windows, is eye-catching but nevertheless still foreign to one who comes from Gnome and KDE base with minimal clutter (with work spaces that keep individual process one that currently not in use, working out of sight).

 

Having said that its commercial entry and approach, I welcome, since Linux guys also needs bread and butter (or rice and curry) for survival. I have a different view with ELive Linux which is a pest in Linux.

Its packages are $1 to $3 dollars are within everyone’s reach and for $100 dollars one can have 25 to 30 packages of one's liking.

It has large repertoire of FREE packages, I do not need any of the fancy stuff, since I use Debian as my workhorse.

Peppermint by the way, I am losing interest due to its bulkiness and slow speed of booting.

I keep an eye on PinguyOs but it has some teething problem with Grub File.

None of them supports UnetBootIn except AVLinux.

 

So don’t be a distro-hopper but have multiple distributions installed on an external turntable hard drive (preferably not SSD, that has problems with multiple booting).

If you are using SSD better try, MultiSystem CD for booting multiple distributions on a USB pen or drive.

Currently UnetBootIn support only one distribution (good old days multiple distributions on a stick) at a time.

 

Debian does not support the MultiSystem, which is a French System but UnetBootIn does the honours with Debian (I put Debian 9.8.0 on a stick since I hate humming Disk Drive in the background when installing).

 

Thanks the guys and girls doing the wonderful stuff for Linux.

 

Please do not let UnetBootIn go into extinction.
