It should come as little surprise that the Pantheon desktop, which elementary OS uses as its default, remains (on the surface) the same ( Figure A). elementary OS has worked to perfection for a while. Instead of making change for change's sake, they simply improve on what they already know works. That's what Cassidy James Blaede and the gang have done. You see, so often a group of developers and designers get something so right that their best path forward is one of refinement, not change.

If you used elementary OS 5, you might think you've mistakenly installed that release, instead of the beta for 6-that's a good thing. I was not surprised when I fired it up and instantly thought of that Rush song, because elementary 6 looks very, very familiar.

ELEMENTARY OS UPDATE INSTALL
When the first beta of the sixth iteration of the platform arrived, I had to install it and see what the developers and designers had to offer. I do miss the elegance brought to life on the desktop by Pantheon and elementary OS. That came to an end when I purchased my first System76 Thelio desktop and realized that Pop!_OS was a better fit for their hardware. For a few years, it was my go-to desktop Linux. I've been following this particular Linux distribution since its early days.
