  1. Xubuntu – Xubuntu is an elegant and easy-to-use operating system. Download XubuntuXubuntu – Xubuntu is an elegant and easy-to-use operating system. Feature Tour.
    Xubuntu: Same as above, but with the XFCE desktop environment. It's a lightweight distro targeted at potato PCs. It idles at just 800MBs of memory consumption (for scale, Windows uses 3GB). Their site.

    Ubuntu is a Debian Linux-based open source operating system for desktop computers.
    Pricing:
    Ubuntu: The big one, but I wouldn't recommend it anymore. Canonical stopped caring about their Desktop OS circa 2016 and the UI/UX on their desktop environment is so shit event Android Lollipop manages to be better. They now focus on enterprise, but the base OS is still very good, and you'll see a trend of "Ubuntu-based" distros. They all share the same stuff under the hood and anything Ubuntu related apply to them. Their site.

  3. Linux Mint is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions and used by millions of people.

    Linux Mint: The good one. Ubuntu-based, Windows-like UI, if you're a complete novice this is what you want. I recommend the Cinnamon edition. Their site.

  4. Linux operating system distribution derived from Ubuntu but with KDE environment.
    Kubuntu: Variant of Ubuntu, but with the KDE Desktop enviroment. KDE earns to be the Windows of Linux, and I personally use KDE with Arch, but it is somewhat quirky and doesn't play well with NVIDIA graphics cards. In general NVIDIA stuff never worked well under Linux since, different from AMD, they refuse to release their drivers as opensource and it never integrates right with everything else. Their site.

    Fedora creates an innovative, free, and open source platform for hardware, clouds, and containers that enables software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
    Fedora: The Professional one. Is not part of the Ubuntu ecosystem, but its own thing. Made by RedHat, subsidiary of IBM. You may strange the tablet-looking UI, but some like it. Their site.

  6. You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple. Currently we have official packages optimized for the x86-64 architecture.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Arch: The holy one. It is its own thing, meant to by highly customazible and configurable. By default ships with nothing, and you'll get a bash shell, where you have to install everything you want and need manually. It's a rolling release distro that, different from the other I cited, instead of having a "1.0", "2.0", "3.0" release, it's always upgrading incrementally with the very latest software. Their site, I recommend dropping by their wiki even if you're not using Arch, it is a very good resource regardless of your distro.
