What Linux Distro Are You Using Currently by netbeans1(m): 9:17am On Mar 07, 2018 |
Hey guys I'm planning on switching from windows to Linux and currently searching for a good Linux distro. So I ask, What distro are you currently using? Would you recommend it for a newbie like me? You could also share screenshots of your desktop too if you wouldn't mind Best Regards Resh |

Hmmmm, I will say ot depends so let me explain, I have KDE Neon on my Computer village laptop But on my home server, I have Debain 9 running as host with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Centos 7.4, QubesOS 4.0 and Kali Linux all running as VMs. Each for different purposes. In spite of all these I have many ISOs of several interesting distros I have come across over the years. I am a Linux enthusiast and I just created a group on telegram called Nigeria Linux User Group. You can join if interested. |

netbeans1: I will say it depends but for a start I will recommend Ubuntu (Gnome) or Kubuntu (KDE). I use KDE so its easy to recommend KDE to people. Screenshot attached (KDE Neon)

Gargoylesmiles: Wow This is awesome, I'm also considering deepin OS(heard of that before?) |
Re: What Linux Distro Are You Using Currently by Gargoylesmiles(m): 8:15am On Apr 18, 2018 |
netbeans1: Yea I have. Deepin is a builtiful desktop manager. I wanted to test Deepin from Manjaro a while back but later i dropped the idea. I have the ISO file just the time to try it out on my VM. Not to discourage you but I also heard recently that Deepin OS had what a good Linux user called spyware on his vlog.

netbeans1: Try out the new Ubuntu 18.04 or any of its flavours released today. Just wait for the sites to be updated to show the official released 18.04 version. https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads https://xubuntu.org/download/ |

netbeans1: Have you chosen a distro yetor still checking options? I installed Manjaro Deepin on Virtualbox. Not bad at all. You might want to try that out since you are interested in Deepin. |
