Wow, I'm in the exact same situation. Using Xfce and loving it so far, went through every single distro in existence. Cool series!

- wezm 9y agoThanks! What OS/distro did you settle on?
- nkkollaw 9y agoPersonally, Xfce heavily configured to my liking, on top of Ubuntu Minimal (basically, I took the Minimal CD and installed xorg and xfce4-session). In particular I've installed DockbarX--a dock that integrates into xfce4-panel, and vala-panel-topmenu (or somithing similar) to have a global menu.
- 8bitsrule 9y agoSwitched to Linux about 5 years ago. Most of the popular distros have converged to being very similar in that time. In the choices between modern OS's (once you've let go of all the habits each enforces), satisfaction depends on how well your software needs are met. For everyday needs, Linux has a lot to offer. If your needs include sophisticated, specialist applications (EG audio production), you'll want to look closely at what's available. Generally there are far fewer options, and they all may fall short of your professional requirements. I've settled on XFCE as well. Xubuntu and Mint 18 are both stabile and solid.
