Cons
Con Bad interface and unfriendly learning curve
Con Focused on kids only
This desktop environment is focused on children. No reason for any adult to use it what so ever.
Con Based on an old distro
DouDou Linux is based on Debian 5, which is pretty old. So this means the software found in the distribution will be old. This also means the hardware support will be lacking compared to newer based distros. So for those that do want to install it would be a good idea to make sure the hardware is supported by Debian 5 and DouDou Linux.
