There’s no official announcement for Pear OS 8, but we can tell you that the distribution boasts a new iOS 7 design, created by Ivan Matias Suarez. Moreover, the brand-new Pear OS 8 distribution features a set of pre-installed applications, including Pear Cloud, Clean My Pear 2, MyPear 6, as well as more than 3,000 downloadable packages from its generous software repository. Pear OS’s main goal is to be an Ubuntu/Debian based Linux operating system for desktops, laptops and tablets, offering a simple, extremely easy to use, yet powerful user interface, which is very similar to the Mac OS desktop. It features an out-of-the-box multimedia experience, it’s safe, reliable, and requires very little maintenance.
