Elementary OS is one of the distributions best valued by users due to its very careful appearance. This operating system uses a desktop called Pantheon with a design strongly inspired by Mac OS X and very attractive. If you use Ubuntu 16.04 you can give your system a new look and make it look like Elementary OS 0.4 Loki.
