linuxscreenshot writes: Just in time for the holidays, it's a new release of elementary OS. Freya 0.3.2 is a minor release, mostly focused around solving some issues folks have had with UEFI & SecureBoot, but we've also managed to sneak in some internationalization updates and a couple new features. Screenshots are available.

    Full marks for nit-picking, Null Points for common sense.

    Stop projecting.

    Anyone who has not heard of it (clearly at least 90% of the /. users, never mind the rest of the universe), would assume from the article this is actually a new OS - in the sense that it is not Plan 9, Windows, Unix, VMS, or WindRiver (OK, I do admin others exist, but you get the point), not in the sense "Linux with a slightly different theme on top", or "yet another BSD".

    elementary OS has been around since 2011, so it's not a new OS. It is however a distinct OS of its own. Just because it shares some parts with other operating systems doesn't change that fact. Would you say that [insert random Windows version] is just a Windows distro and not a distinct operating system or that Mac OS is just a BSD distro and not a distinct OS?

    Linuxscreenshot fully deserves any tongue-lashing he/she/it gets.

    From who? You and your single sockpuppet or crony? You are an idiot.
