Here to put in my love for Linux plug. Manjaro XFCE for older machines is nice. Manjaro KDE if you have a decent machine with lots of RAM. Rolling updates, so as things are new, you have them. Install from community repos (AUR) and installs straight from Github for latest.
MX Linux is debian (remember debian is 5 versions behind but stable, and audited repos). Lightweight, makes a decent little hacker station.
Ubuntu sells security now. But, it's ubuntu, it's heavily supported.
User friendly go with Manjaro, Fedora, things will work out of the box, but for the love of linux, try all of the distros. Find the ones you love.
It's the year of desktop Linux! Be one with the Tux!
- TheBozzCL 2y agoI love Manjaro Cinnamon on my gaming laptop. It just feels so nice, and it gives me great battery life.
- HaZeust 2y agoZorinOS is great for the casual user. I've previously found myself in "flame wars" here for saying it before, but I think the most Windows-like distro -- and even the one that takes it upon itself to (reasonably) auto-install packages to make it happen -- is very important to advocate for in this age of enshittification for the Windows product. ZorinOS is/has: - a familiar interface to Windows users; - an easy installation process; - several pre-installed softwares out-of-the-box; - a storefront for auto-installs of packages and softwares; - out-of-the-box support for Steam, Lutris, and Wine; - lightweight; - Ubuntu-based;
