“It’s been quite a while since I last looked at MoonOS.
The last review covered version 3.0, this time around it’s MoonOS
4.0. MoonOS is another Ubuntu-based derivative, so if Ubuntu
appeals to you then MoonOS 4 might be right up your alley.

“What’s New In This Release Here’s a sample of the new features
in this release:

GNOME
New File System
Software Updates
Appshell Framework
Docky
Synapse

“The default environment for MoonOS used to be

“Enlightenment; that has obviously changed in this release.
Don’t worry though; there will be an Enlightment (and LXDE) version
released later. Until then you’ll have to get by with GNOME. As
somebody that really likes GNOME, I have no problem whatsoever with
this change. But your mileage may vary. The developers are smart to
offer an Enlightenment version for their devoted users; it’ll help
soothe any ruffled feathers for sure.”
