Pros
Pro Seamless packages
It may not have the most obscure packages, but the packages it does have is a good number of everything a Linux user needs. Gamers, developers, desktop users, etc. all have the necessary packages and then some. The packages themselves are integrated perfectly and are very well updated.
Pro Default experience is clean and easy
The default desktop experience on the Budgie version is very clean and streamlined. Although the Budgie DE isn't the most customisable, but it's customisable enough for me to recreate the desktop style of ElementaryOS with the dock and bar at the top.
Cons
Con Purposefully does not carry certain packages that disagree with their philosophy
The most obvious example of their philosophy is this: Wine is available, but wine-staging and wine-staging-nine are purposefully not available in repositories.
Con UEFI dual boot with Windows 10 is not easy to install
Solution: 1- Create a larger EFI partition, (500MB), or 2- Create another EFI partition (on the same or a different drive), but in this case it does not detect Windows during installation so you have two totally separate systems!
Con Lack of software in repositories
There is a lack of software in the repositories. This is the only OS where I have had to build some applications from source or install from the app's site within the first month os usage. Though this is most likely because the distro is still relatively new.
