My Linux Experience. 4 Distros I have tried.
(This blog is just based on my thoughts and what Distro
works for me and my computer. Not applying it to all other computers and Linux
Distros.) choose what is best for you, there are no perfect Distros out there,
but you can always choose what is best for you.
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) - Unity environment
A Linux distribution
with an easy to understand settings,
includes automatic back-up of your files when set. I had problems with
NVDIA drivers, but with a few tweaks it runs smooth. Some people hate the
Ubuntu “dash”. but you can always configure it, or maybe you just have to like
it. Just like me. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is the best Linux Distro that runs smooth on
my PC. But it depends on what computer hardware you have.
Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) - Cinnamon environment
Very easy to use, light and fast. Feels like windows. For
Linux Beginners who want to switch from Windows to Linux. The problem I faced
on a Mint Distro is the lack of thumbmail/Preview when uploading a photo. But
installing “Chromium” browser, you can fix this problem.
OpenSuse Leap 42.1 - Gnome 3 environment
My favourite Linux Distro when it comes to design. Logo and
it feels different. The problem I had with OpenSuse is that it freezes on
restart. And the boot up process is slow. There is a fix for the slow boot-up
but for my system I cannot fix the OpenSuse Freeze. I find the Yast software
center buggy, also the Updates sometimes just don’t work. But I will try
OpenSuse again, maybe the bugs will be fixed for the next version of OpenSuse.
Debian 8.1 (Jessie) Gnome 3 environment
Well, this is the base of Ubuntu. No problems for Debian of
my system so far, but I do not recommend this for new Linux Users. It’s more of
a command line style distro, you can always install a Software Center. But, it
would be not very user friendly.
