We respect the rights of our users. All of elementary OS is available for review, scrutiny, modification, and redistribution by anyone. Which improves security and privacy for everyone.

We’re built on GNU/Linux, one of the most secure systems in the world. It’s the same software powering the U.S Department of Defense, the Bank of China, and more. 

elementary OS is designed to be easy to understand and pick up as a new user. But that doesn’t mean it’s dumbed down; powerful, customizable keyboard shortcuts ensure you’ll stay productive whether it’s your first day or your thousandth.
