The title of "Best Desktop OS" is impossible to call, since everyone has a different opinion of what's "best' for them and their hardware. I for one have desktops running openSuSE and CEntOS and laptops running Ubuntu (16.04) and Fedora. I don't have a problem with any of it. I enjoy the divers and myriad experiences I get with each desktop. I am not a regular user of Ubuntu, and for the few times I've used it it seems to perform with no issue. But I am a Fedor-ian from since their 14 release. Gnome is just what I need it to be, and I know where everything is and how to access it. Its not about what's best, its about what's best FOR YOU!Eddie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11211758013393939905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-28497864560631474652016-05-16T21:21:16.480+01:002016-05-16T21:21:16.480+01:00I did a similar thing but went with Arch instead. ...I did a similar thing but went with Arch instead. I started to lose faith in Ubuntu around 2010 and was already trying other distros. When Unity came I first went to Fedora but the lackluster of applications I wanted and a pretty arrogant and impolite community made me try Arch. Arch gave the absolute best experience and had a stellar community... so I found home. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920036609048260706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-57384861512601665732016-05-13T19:44:29.073+01:002016-05-13T19:44:29.073+01:00Year of Linux: [actual year] + 1...Year of Linux: [actual year] + 1...Antonionihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104636000004166796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-62581159434599470272016-05-13T12:24:16.552+01:002016-05-13T12:24:16.552+01:00I used OpenSuSE for 12 years.

I use that structure, but not the Ubuntu desktop: instead, I install the minimalist Xubuntu Core and add to it what software I need.

It's been there for years, and is FAR from the best Linux OS choice.

I do realize Mint is based on Ubuntu (which is based on Debian), so I hope it stays around too.

Shuttleworth closed his bug about obtaining desktop marketshare, the Ubuntu website has shifted from "Ubuntu is Linux for Human Beings" to "Ubuntu is the leading OS for All Devices". The first thing you encounter on the site are offerings for servers and cloud services, then tablets. The PC is relegated to a menu item.<br /><br />Ubuntu gave up, sadly, on consumer-oriented desktops.<br /><br />Debian and Mint, Fedora, Magiea, and SUSE are still excellent choices (in that order of third party support). It's a pity because Ubuntu spent a hell of a lot of time and money building a brand. I'm just happy I didn't invest in it emotionally, myself. I'm much happier as a Debian and Fedora user.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857129483287454909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-79020666884805097702016-05-12T19:30:02.421+01:002016-05-12T19:30:02.421+01:00I used Ubuntu in 2007-2009 and then Mint and Ubunt...I used Ubuntu in 2007-2009 and then Mint and Ubuntu side by side until Unity came and i totally stopped using it.

It is a shame that Ubuntu does what it does. I am not sure how I should feel that Ubuntu now introduced the Snappy package manager. They somehow lost touch with their user base.
