Wychmire Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I'm planning on changing to Linux From Windows 7 and I'm trying to figure out what Distro to use. I'm considering Linux Mint because of how it looks and feels. (I tried it out on a friend's Virtual Machine) And Linux Lite because I have a old computer that wasn't meant for much but office work and is now 5 or so years old. Any recommendations?

Mestiv Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Xubuntu - it has a quite light-weight user interface and all the might of Ubuntu software repositories! It's my distribution of choice at work and it's just great, very reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wychmire Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Alright. I'll check it out. Thanks! edit: I think I'm settling on Manjaro. Does anyone have any opinions on it? Edited August 1, 2016 by Wychmire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfhscoobydoo Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Manjaro is great but for people less experienced with Linux in general, it's a bit overcomplicated. Here is a link to a thread on Linux distros, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Ubuntu with the SUSE ui is my go-to choice for distros. Ubuntu is great, stable, and has alot of software for it. And SUSE (I think thats the UI name) is very powerful compared to gnome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
