OK so a few people have taken issue with my remarks about DistroWatch here and in other places so I’ll try to make my position more clear....
Just a few things to bear in mind. This is after all just my opinion and as such carries no more weight than anyone else’s except it is based on...
These are nobody's 'top ten distros'. They are just the links with the highest number of clicks. Very misleading and always has been. I work with...
LOL it’s mostly a lost cause. People are so conditioned to Microsoft marketing it’s often difficult to achieve a change and even so they tend to...
Some good observations. A neighbor of mine bought an LG AIO desktop with N4100 processor and Windows 10. After only a week he was moaning how...
Zorin 16 will be based on 20.04 with a planned release at the end of the year.
The Zorin OS 15 series is supported until 2023, the same length of time as the maintenance updates for Ubuntu 18.04. Considering all the in-house...
If the OP wants to run on an Arch base I’m not sure why other systems should be mentioned here at all but just in case Debian is a consideration...
The Gentoo based systems are in my experience the most stable rather than just promising to be. Search any of the top ten supposedly popular...
Shame all the complaining posts about broken systems resulting from updates have now been lost along with the old forum e.g. May 4, 2020 - every...
Whilst this is true it isn't necessarily the easiest systems that give the best experience. Google for instance had the whole world to choose from...
Another good point regarding hardware recognition in Linux and why Windows is so much better. I keep the latest wifi .deb package on file. I know...

I’ve never had issues with wifi on anything with a built in card that wasn’t a museum piece. What I have encountered is wifi adapters that work...
In a world grossly over populated with both distros and desktop environments I can never understand why folks keep on reinventing the wheel, the...
I need this stuff to work. If it doesn’t I lose clients and bread does not come into house, get onto table and then into mouth. Two of my...
Seems like you missed a few. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/solus-4-1-budgie.html 'It's a no-go. Dedoimedo, sad and out."
Exactly. So go ask a Windows users with zero Linux experience what this means to them and then maybe you'll understand that recommending something...
When someone has no experience of Linux and specifically mentions Spotify I don’t think Solus is the best option to consider. IMO too many...
If speed is an issue then you’re into the realms of stuff that is not so easy to manage as Mint or Kubuntu. For KDE, Calculate or Sabayon being...
People not familiar with this website should be aware that while it does contain useful information the list it publishes reflects only the number...
Are you the kind of Windows migrant who prefers your Linux system to look pretty much the same? Undoubtedly this helps with navigation but...
Part of the problem is users themselves. Lots of folks rush out to install the latest version even though the previous one they’ve been happily...
Just another ego driven vanity project from a developer with historical instability. He should talk to Nitrux about what happened to their...
