Enso is pleasant to use, but since it is marked as
"discontinued," I wouldn't want to become
dependent on it.It does have more time left for
security updates, being based on Ubuntu Focal.
It takes a little extra effort to add the extra
software a lot of users might prefer.
With new releases of Linux coming
periodically, it shouldn't be too hard to replace
Enso on one's hard drive.I'm using Enso on my
quad-core Dell Optiplex 790, 3+ GHz, 2 TB Sata drive.
It shares the space available with 11 other
Ubuntu- and Debian-based Distros. A separate
128 GB SSD houses Windows 10 for uses
where I deem the available software is
suitable for my computing needs. Over the
last 11 years FOSS has become
increasingly better in furnishing those needs
in Linux, and I think a lot of long-time Linux
users must likewise feel that Linux can
adequately handle my computing needs.so
thank goodness for developers and volunteers
who are generous with their time.They get a
10 for effort.While Enso is available, I place it
at the level of such polished distros as Linux Lite
and Mint.A longtime Windows user should find
a switch to Enso s mild challenge, but I suggest
a backup plan for when Enso goes dark.

I'm using Enso 0.4 as one of the 12 Linux distributions on my second Hard Drive, a 2 TB internal drive (Seagate)
on my quad-core Dell Optiplex 790, 8 GB RAM, 1596 MHz speed, 64-bit Intel processor in tandem with Windows 10 on a
128 GB Sandisk SSD, and for me this Enso tests out as well or better than any of the other Ubuntu- or Debian-based
distros in my current configuration. I have added a Budgie desktop and when my desktop displays I still have the gala display from a large button in the bottom left of the screen. Functionally, Enso 0.4 is hard to beat as it runs on my system and it is with deep regret that I notice it is a discontinued project. If I had a second piece of computer hardware I would not hesitate to put
Enso on it for my primary activities of internet and reading eBooks. To me it is a conveniently manageable way to get my computer activities taken care of. I enjoy having the dock with icons of the open and recently used applications at the
bottom of the screen for easily toggling to those applications. This is clearly an OS I could use for my daily computer activities.

This is an interesting distro ... Now that everyone wants to imitate the look of Windows 11, you have to know that this distro practically invented it in version 0.4, or at least it almost succeeded.
The mix of Pantheon with XFCE is surprisingly fresh, light and very modern, the look of the desktop is great and it works better than the Elementary OS itself.
This distro is a pleasure to use, I have not observed any serious bugs and all my hardware works perfectly, as well as the software and games that I use regularly. Hope the work on this distro keeps going, because it may be one of the best options in no time.
Enso OS has to be a serious alternative.

A pleasant ubuntu based distro. Not really lightweight enough for an old dual core, but acceptable. Same problem as all other distros when it comes to browsing the Interweb (LOL) especially Youtube videos, too slow. You'll need to copy the URL then open VLC - "Open location from clipboard" to get good playback speeds. Not Enso fault, its just browsers are developed for up to date hardware.
I'm sure there's someone out there who is clever enough to knock up a combination of VLC or similar with a search engine. You would win the respect of everyone with champaign tastes, but lemonade money for a used computer. You''ll also save a lot of working old laptops and PC's from the dumpster by offering a lightweight alternative to the usual browsing juggernauts.
Overall, I liked Enso. Nothing special, but it's got a clean, fresh feel to it.
