Pear OS 8 Review

Pear OS 8. I have never heard it before until I read a post in a tech blog about it. And I was amazed with the features. What amazed me was, it is a Ubuntu based distro (distribution) and design interface like Mac OS.

Ubuntu + Mac OS = WT*?

So,i think for a while. Google some info about Pear OS. And i decide to delete my Ubuntu 12.04 and install Pear OS 8 and dual-boot with windows 7 in my laptop. You dont believe it dont you?

Here is some screenshot.

just sudo update after installation

So, now how to install it? The installation is pretty much same like installing Ubuntu on your computer. Nothing much difference. Here is the download link

boot screen

since dual-boot i prefer choose option something else

preparing swap area.

preparing partition to install Pear OS 8

GRUB menu looks different

So what makes it different than Ubuntu 12.04. Well, i look at the boot time. Kind fast a bit than Ubuntu boot time. Pear OS use gnome-shell interface. Looks responsive. Software center same like Ubuntu Software center. Pear OS has included its own software like cache cleaner called Clean My Pear, tweak tool called My Pear 6. And some useful tools for our daily task.

I tried installing java,Skype,android-studio. So far no prob. If you have used Ubuntu before i don't think it will a problem to use it.
