DistroWatch has published a review on elementary OS 7.0.

elementary OS 7.0

Although elementary OS was first released a dozen years ago, back in 2011, I've paid it scant attention. Like many other Linux distributions, the project introduced itself as an entry level platform for those making the move to Linux from Windows or macOS. It also planned on being a commercial distribution that would pay its bills, and hopefully turn a profit, by selling downloads and software on a "pay what you want" basis.

Surprisingly, this plan worked, and both of the project's co-founders were eventually able to leave their day jobs to work full time on the distro, until the pandemic came along and the money stream went dry. Last year, that lead to a very public breakup within the organization, with one co-founder, Cassidy James Blaede, walking away from the project, leaving ownership in the hands of the other co-founder, Danielle Foré.
