@tuxedocomputers we likely would not put an elementary logo directly on hardware unless we actually designed the hardware. 😉 For the Super key, we recommend OEMs use the word “Super” itself, or use the Looped Square symbol, as it is what we use in the OS.

Hey quick question! Why did you switch to elementary OS?

Dark style support is shaping up rather nicely for elementary OS 6! Read the latest on our blog from Daniel Foré to hear where we are with the dark style, plus why it is a bigger challenge than one might expect on the surface. https://blog.elementary.io/dark-style-progress/

We’re sponsoring @LinuxAppSummit@twitter.com because elementary OS is the platform for killer apps! https://linuxappsummit.org

Lucky enough to be your friends’ or family’s go-to IT person, or just have a struggling computer sitting around? We have a great weekend project for you! Revitalize a Mac or PC to make it run better than new with elementary OS. https://blog.elementary.io/revitalize-mac-windows-computer/

@zudn it depends on the exact model, but most 64-bit Macs should work! You can try elementary OS before installing to make sure your hardware works and that it runs well.

“You can get all your stuff done. …and honestly if you’ve got an old Windows machine that you don’t want to have to run Windows on, put elementary OS on it and it becomes a nice little workhorse.”

“Say you’ve got an older Mac that’s no longer getting security updates from Apple but you still want to use it, elementary OS is going to be a very familiar interface to you… It looks great, it’s stable, it’s updated regularly, and will run on many, many, many Macs.”

The Mac Observer’s Mac Geek Gab podcast has some good things to say about elementary OS! https://pca.st/s179kbf3#t=4671

@nev @kai they both use VTE for the actual Terminal view, but other than that, they’re pretty different.

Work is well underway on elementary OS 6! Check out some of the more architectural platform changes coming to make elementary OS 6 the best version yet. https://blog.elementary.io/platform-changes-in-elementary-os-6/
