elementary OS 0.3 "Freya" released

Accepted submission by Rich http://soylentnews.org/~Rich/ at 2015-04-12 02:20:00
OS
elementary [elementary.io] have just released the final version of their long expected elementary OS [wikipedia.org] version 0.3 "Freya". After a week-long countdown, an expected release candidate was skipped and they went from beta 2 straight to the final.
The team is well known for their highly polished "Pantheon" desktop environment as well as for their funding strategy that requires the visitor to enter a donation amount, even if it is zero, before revealing download links.
Will this release be solid enough for them to aim for the top spots of Linux distributions?
