[elementary OS 的 6.1 是最新的版本](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-1-release/)，它做了许多基本的改进，带来了一些新功能。


当然，为你的系统选择的 Linux 发行版在很多方面都是不同的。然而，我认为在 elementary OS 中，有一些事情可以做得更好。


在这里，我列出了 elementary OS 中可以做的一些改进。


不过，这仅代表我个人观点，请诸位轻喷。


### elementary OS 中可以改进的东西


如果你想看的话，我也打算指出其他发行版的我不喜欢东西（从这篇开始）。


发行版通常仅展示其好的一面，除非有人指出一个发行版中潜在的细微差别，否则你无法真正确定这个发行版是否适合你。


#### 1、没有内置的 Debian 软件包安装程序


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114703i77izd3au7gdgf6s.png)


它是一个基于 Ubuntu 的发行版，但下载一个 deb 文件后才发现无法安装，还得让你寻找解决方案。


这当然是有原因的，因为 elementary OS 在 [elementary OS 6 发布](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-release/) 时切换到了只使用 Flatpak 的模式，即使是对于第一方的应用程序也是如此。


然而，新用户很可能不知道像 Eddy 这样的解决方案，它是一个 Debian 软件包安装程序，可以在 AppCenter 中找到。


当你尝试安装 deb 包时，指向该工具的通知/提示应该说明清楚。或者，预下安装 Eddy 应该会让事情变得更方便。


#### 2、Flathub 支持开箱即用


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114704lhncppszqpc33nnd.png)


Flatpak 优先的方法使安装软件更加安全和方便。然而，你不能通过 Flathub 安装 Flatpak 应用程序，除非你（使用终端）手动添加了第三方 Flatpak 仓库。


即使 AppCenter 提供了 Flatpak 应用程序，但它可能不足以满足所有用户的需要。相比之下，Flathub 提供了大量的 Flatpak 应用程序。


虽然提供第一方的体验，并且让用户能够在需要时启用第三方（Flathub）是件好事，但是否可以做些什么来轻松启用 Flathub 的支持，而无需去终端？（忽略 flatpak 的参考文件）


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114705pl1dfz3uzu8zs5lw.png)


好吧，我认为用一个快速切换开关来启用/禁用开箱即用的 Flathub 支持可以使事情变得更好。


或者，像你在上面的截图中注意到的那样，在建议启用 Flathub 的同时提到该命令。


#### 3、最小化按钮


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114706y9p25p611625ifzf.png)


考虑到 elementary OS 没有像 Pop!\_OS 那样的自动平铺窗口功能，许多应用程序上缺少最小化按钮可能会让人觉得令人不适。


是的，你可以利用键盘上的快捷键 `Super+H` 来隐藏/最小化窗口。然而，对于以鼠标操作为主的用户来说，没有最小化按钮的感觉并不舒服。


#### 4、没有系统托盘支持


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114707rxxpwnk8uuukesin.png)


根据他们的设计选择，elementary OS 团队认为最好不要有系统托盘的支持（或者是我从 Reddit 的一些帖子中了解到的情况）。


不幸的是，系统托盘的图标对于快速访问和关注某事物的状态非常有用。


例如，我可以从应用指示器图标中快速访问 Flameshot 截图工具，在使用 Insync 等工具时检查同步状态，当 Slack 中有我的信息时也会得到通知。


而如果没有系统托盘图标的整合支持，我就不能做这些事情，这是一个缺陷。


#### 5、一个单独的 NVIDIA ISO


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/27/114707urww2bh7xmmlmlrb.png)


单独的 NVIDIA ISO（或 Nvidia 显卡安装模式）比通过软件中心安装专有的 Nvidia 驱动程序要方便得多。


当然，我在使用 AppCenter 安装 Nvidia 驱动时没有任何问题。但是，有了单独的 ISO，你就省去了安装后的额外步骤。


### 总结


每个操作系统都有缺陷，Linux 发行版也不例外。


有时这些细微的差别是根据其目标用户设计出来的。你可能喜欢也可能不喜欢一个发行版所做的一切，这就是为什么要知道它们能否做得更好（或是否适合你）。


elementary OS 无疑是 [最漂亮的 Linux 发行版之一](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/)。但是，它适合你吗？


好吧，如果我提到的一些观点是你不在意的，那它对你来说应该是很好的体验。

[elementary OS 6.1 is the latest release](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-1-release/) with many essential improvements and new features.

Of course, the choice of a Linux distro for your system varies on many levels. However, I think there are a few things in elementary OS that could have been done differently.

Here, I list some of the aspects that could use some improvements in elementary OS.

*Note that this is entirely my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt.*

## Things That Can Be Improved in elementary OS

If you are curious, I plan to point out things I don’t like for other distributions as well (starting with this).

It is usual to feature the good stuff but unless someone points out the potential nuances in a distro, you cannot really decide whether the distro is for you or not.

### 1. No Built-in Debian Package Installer

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/Screenshot-from-2021-12-17-12.16.32.png)

Considering it as an Ubuntu-based distribution, downloading a deb file to only find that you cannot install, makes you look for solutions.

This makes sense because elementary OS switched to a Flatpak-only model with [elementary OS 6 release](https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-release/), even for the first-party applications.

However, new users are likely to be unaware of solutions like “**Eddy**” which is a Debian package installer and available in the AppCenter.

A notice/tip that points to you to the tool when you try installing a deb package should make it clear. Or, having Eddy pre-installed should make things convenient.

### 2. Flathub Support out of the box

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/Screenshot-from-2021-12-17-12.16.01.png)

The Flatpak-first approach makes things more secure and convenient. However, you cannot install Flatpak applications via Flathub unless you manually add the third-party Flatpak repo (using the terminal).

Even though AppCenter features Flatpak applications, it may not be enough for all users. In contrast, Flathub offers a massive collection of Flatpaks.

While it is good to offer a first-party experience and give the ability to the user to enable third-party (Flathub) if required, but can something be done to easily enable the Flathub support without heading to the terminal? (ignoring the flatpak ref files)

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/elementary-flathub-add.png)

Well, I think a quick toggle switch to enable/disable out-of-the-box support for Flathub could make things better.

Or, mention the command along with the suggestion to enable Flathub as you noticed in the screenshots above.

### 3. Minimize button

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/minimize-button-elementary-os.png)

Considering elementary OS does not feature any auto-tiling window feature like Pop!_OS, the lack of minimize button on many applications could prove to be annoying.

Yes, you can utilize the keyboard shortcut **Super + H** to hide/minimize the window. However, for mouse-oriented users, it does not feel comfortable to not have a minimize button.

### 4. No System Tray Support

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/elementary-os-system-tray.png)

As per their design choices, the elementary OS team thinks that its best to not have system tray support (or so I read as per some Reddit posts).

Unfortunately, the system tray icons are incredibly useful for quick access, and to keep an eye on the status of something.

For instance, I can quickly access the Flameshot screenshot tool from the app indicator icon, check sync status when using a tool like Insync, and also get informed when there is a message for me in Slack.

And, without the system tray icon integration support, I cannot do any of this, which is a deal-breaker.

### 5. A Separate NVIDIA ISO

![elementary OS](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/elementary-os-nvidia-driver.png)

A separate NVIDIA ISO (or Nvidia graphics installation mode) is much more convenient than installing a proprietary Nvidia driver through the software center.

Sure, I did not have any issues installing Nvidia drivers using the AppCenter. But, with a separate ISO, you eliminate the additional step after installation.

## Wrapping Up

There are flaws in every operating system, a Linux distribution is not an exception.

Sometimes these nuances are there by design, as per their targeted users. You may or may not like everything that a distro does, which is why it is important to know what can they do better (or if it is suitable for you).

elementary OS is undoubtedly [one of the most beautiful Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) out there. But, is it the one for you?

Well, if some of the points that I mention do not bother you, it should be a great experience for you.
