Ubuntu MATE mentions (43)

• best Distro for Noob

  When I started out, I used red hat, Suse linux, and then finally I jumped to Ubuntu, when they killed gnome and rolled out their new GUI later, I switched to Ubuntu Mate, with xfce alternatively installed. And then later came MINT. Which is based on ubuntu anyway. Source: 5 months ago

  Ubuntu MATE (simple, well maintained, has the Ubuntu ecosystem support and should work well). Source: 11 months ago

• Who needs Ubuntu when you have MATE

  Linux Mint has its advantages, but your title doesn't make sense when there's Ubuntu MATE. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fail To Download on Old Windows Vista PC

  (btw: since the PC is older I would reccommend Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu as those come with a lighter Desktop). Source: about 1 year ago

Garuda Linux mentions (94)

• Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter

  I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel. Nobara is a very plain, kind of old fashioned, plain feeling UI (it rather reminds me of Windows 2000 in some ways, although it's much more advanced of course) while Garuda showcases just how fancy your desktop can look.

  Garuda (Arch based, use a Desktop environment with small memory prints like XFCE or lxqt). Source: 11 months ago

• Please Help me for my search

  Personally, I feel like rolling release distros 'should' include a properly configured (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshit/Snapper by default. This will enable the user to rollback to a working system whenever a breakage occurs; even from the GRUB-menu. As the 'unadulterated' Arch is a blank slate upon which you 'should' tinker to your heart's content, it doesn't do this by default. However, you're highly encouraged to set it...

• Is artix a good alternative to manjaro

  Personal recommendation would be Garuda Linux. Like Manjaro it is 'opinionated'; sets up (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshift/Snapper, comes with a bunch of very useful GUI-tools etc. Source: 11 months ago

• If you have a plan to use the galaxybook with linux, you don't have to buy Galaxybook.

  Yes... Most Linux Distro's the sound doesn't work... Garuda Linux is the only one I found that everything works. Source: 11 months ago
