The installer was clearly based off of the Ubuntu installer, which is completely fine with me. Feeling like I had nothing to lose, and heavily persuaded by the distribution's advertising as usual, I decided to give it a try.Īs detailed in the video to the left, downloading, burning and installing Pear Linux was a breeze. I had just the opposite of fond memories of Commice, but I also remember that I only tried it in a virtual machine, and decided to give it some more handicap points when I factored in that it was running on a 2008 AMD laptop. Upon researching the free Ubuntu-based distro, I discovered that I had tried its predecessor, Commice OS, two versions ago. Well, a quick Google search turned up Pear OS.
I use it frequently on an older computer in the house, but it would never do as my day-to-day OS. I knew a distribution that used to look like Mac OS, but in recent versions it had evolved into its own lightweight GUI.
I came across the distribution after I failed miserably at properly configuring multiple Hackintosh distributions, which I had wanted to do for a long time. Today I'm going to tell you about a Linux distribution called Pear Linux (previous names include Pear OS and Commice OS).
