elementary OS

why a full os ?

Asked by thomas parquier

Hello,

First I want to say elementary is really great.
I'd like to know why it is a full OS. Why didn't you make it a desktop environment like gnome or xfce ?

Because elementary is built around creating a whole, unified experience.

And elementary did make a desktop environment, its called Pantheon.

The OS was made so that the whole elementary experience can be shaped exactly the way the developers want it to be.

Can you help with this problem?
