“Pear OS 4 was recently launched to a small fanfare, with a name
change to Comice OS to celebrate the release. The OS X aping Ubuntu
spin-off was first released in the middle of last year, and has
quickly gained popularity among the Linux community.

“Unfortunately, widespread reports of installation problems from
users have forced the developers of Pear OS to put Comice OS 4 back
into beta testing. There have also been difficulties with booting
for some people, especially those running on virtual machines. At
the time of writing, the download page has reverted to offering
Pear OS 3 instead.”
