Where is the best Linux ?

I've had real good luck with Ubuntu-Studio. It uses the XFCE desktop and already has a lot of the "good stuff" installed by default. Set it up with the main panel on the bottom, add Cairo-Dock and Compiz, tweak it a little, and you'll have a desktop to make a Windows 7 user happy.

 

I have tried many distros, but i keep coming back to Mint.
Mint 17 with XFCE for my everyday use at home and mainly Win7 computers at work, with a few specialized Linux machines.
I work in a computer refurb facility, and when it gets slow, I try different hardware configurations with different distros. For the most part, all the major distros work fine after updating the basic install. Never had too many issues regarding video unless it was a high-end card.
Everyone's needs and experiences will be different, so whatever works best for you is the way to go.
Don't be afraid to experiment, that's how you learn.

 

I use now OpenSuse 13.2 Gnome desktop...Until now I am glad to find it..I tested many distro's and allways returned to Ubuntu or OpenSuse..!

 

I have run Zorin, Macbuntu and uBuntu. All ran perfectly fine on the Thinkpads I owns. Macbuntu, although gorgeous is not being kept very updated. I dislike the direction uBuntu has taken, but it runs fine. Zorin is a cakewalk coming from windblows.

Sabayon linux is best.

 

Don't doubt it... but elaborate what makes it best for you?

 

If you come from windows you need linux mint 17 cinnamon

 

I put it like that. Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) and it's official flavors are the only, long term, reasonable, usable distro's,
with the less bugs, good documentation and support.
All the other one's are objects of killing your time playing with them,
with endless settings and configurations, full of bugs which they wiil never be fixed due to lack of manpower.

And please do not relay on stories about the great security of Linux.
It is an open source OS, every badwilling developer could write virus for it,
but it does not happen a lot because of the very small global market share of Linux.
Only 1,7% of global pc systems are using Linux, most of them beside windows.
Virus writers want to affect as much as possible pc's so Linux share is too small to be interesting.

For an older pc with little ram and weak CPU, Lubuntu is the best, most stable choise.

Try Ubuntu Mate, it's one of the lighter weight Ubuntu flavors and recently became official.

 

Slackware!!!

The oldest, most UNIX-like distro around!

 

Elementary OS is still under heavy development and it often crashes durning a day. I recomend you Linux Mint if you startin' your journey with linux systems.

My proposal list of distros to test:
1) Debian - pretty hard at start, but after you learn iit will be your fav
2) Ubuntu - install and forget you have an OS.
3) Elementary OS - wait for it..
4) Arch Linux - more for fun than to daytime work

Maybe distrowatch_com will be more helpful

 

I like Linux Mint but seems to be older when compared with Manjaro that I use now.Ubuntu is good but I don't like Unity so much..
If you want a Windows 7 from Linux you should install Ubuntu!

 

I have found Linux Fedora 21 wonderful.

 

Manjaro is arch based and that one is always up-to-date

 

I used mint for 3 years. Now I think of Ubuntu Mate. Will try on April.

 

I just started using Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64 bit. It's pretty well install and use out of the box. I hardly had to add anything. I was previously using Ubuntu 15.04, but I find Mint a lot more stable. It does all the things Ubuntu is suppose to.
