I’m not so sure Manjaro should be on this list… This passage in particular gave me pause:
due to the bleeding edge aspect of arch you will always get the newest versions of software
Newest, sure, but also not as thoroughly tested. Arch breaks. Not a lot, but still more than, say, Debian or Fedora-based distros. Manjaro should be for intermediate users, imho.
To be fair though, Debian is often ridicoulously outdated in terms of how many versions behind the current versions of software they ship, without updating for the longest time.
“Arch breaks. Not a lot, but still more than, say, Debian or Fedora-based distros”, huh i thought it was the other way around and arch breaks less.
Manjaro Linux is different from Arch Linux. Manjaro is quite slow with updates, because they do test before releasing.
Xubuntu LTS is very user friendly and will feel familiar to those who have used Windows. The UI is simple yet flexible and having an Ubuntu base with official support and a large community is key to a successful experience.
Agreed. Xubuntu and Ubuntu MATE are my favorites to recommend to other beginning Linux users.
Pop OS for sure
Nice, another listicle with not much information in it. Doesn’t provide any more info than a random distrowatch entry…
I recommend MX Linux.
Are you the author of these articles? I’m thinking of this article and the one about DEs.
If you are, I might leave more constructive critique than my knees suggest I do.
