What to Install on Elementary Os?

Can I install Ubuntu apps in elementary OS?

Updated note The only thing ElementaryOS has in common with Ubuntu is its core system. The Ubuntu Software Center and Synaptic are NOT installed by default, making steps 1,2,3 and 6 invalid. The only current ways are to use the Elementary App Center, the terminal (using apt) or compiling from source.

Is elementary OS good for beginners?

Elementary OS is possibly the best-looking distribution on test, and we only say “possibly” because it’s such a close call between it and Zorin. We avoid using words like “nice” in reviews, but here it’s justified: if you want something that’s as nice to look at as it is to use, either would be an excellent choice.
