Just booted up #pureos for the first time!
Coming from an aging Debian install on an old desktop running #i3wm, I have to say gnome has gotten jaw-droppingly pretty since I last looked at it.
Not enough exploring to say much about the deeper experience, but the first impression #purism gives is quite polished.
I was especially impressed to see #nextcloud supported as part of the new user setup. This small nicety got much of my productive life (calendar, contacts) up and running quickly.
