PearOS is a Ubuntu-based operating system. The distribution is purely inspired by the design of the Mac OS X desktop.
The desktop of PearOS is a highly customized version of GNOME, an open source interface used by most popular Linux operating systems. After installing, you'll notice a panel and a dock that will remind you Mac OS X.
Of course, as you will see in the picture below, everything reminds Mac OS, so much that there will be a legal problem. Even the Firefox icon has been changed to Safari!
The default applications include: Nautilus file manager, Mozilla Firefox web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird email client, Shotwell image viewer, Evince document viewer, Empathy instant messenger, Gedit text editor, Musique audio player, and Synaptic Package Manage.
The operating system is distributed in two live DVD ISO images, for 64-bit and 32-bit architectures.
Unfortunately, the growth of PearOS stopped at the beginning of 2014, and was acquired by an unknown company.
We list the latest download links with the developers' publication on the project page:
The PearOS is not a Linux distribution, it is Ubuntu with MacOSX theme, based on Ubuntu 14: 04 and modified gnome shell.
The base of the system is completely ubuntu.
It is a remaster of private use and is not for profit and commercial.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
