I have downloaded and tested the ISO in a virtual machine, and while the first version was disappointing in terms of appearance and experience, we can say that this new iteration of the distro is very close to what Pear OS was before.Įl Jimi Hendrix OS X is placed on top of the GNOME Shell with a GNOME desktop environment, and you will find a few interesting tweaks that will make you use this distribution. PearOS 9.3 is based on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, and of course it aroused our curiosity. Now time has passed, and PearOS has been updated with a Jimi Hendrix vitaminized to offer the Linux community. The first incarnation of the operating system was quite disappointing, as Pear OS users were used to having a near-perfect desktop environment that was the closest thing to using OS X without owning a Mac. Last year in SoftPedia Portuguese developer Rodrigo Marques was said to be developing a Pear OS clone known as PearOS, which would later be published on SourceForge under the same name. To this day, which company this is remains a mystery. This distro It dazzled many users who wanted to be able to experience the Mac on their Linux PCs, but unfortunately Pear OS was bought by a large company whose name was not revealed. A few years ago we were talking about Pear OS, an Ubuntu-based distribution that looked a lot like OS X.
