Kubuntu — comes with the Plasma desktop. Very slick and very fast. I did an update this morning and it was a rare one where I had to restart. I clicked restart and started counting. I was booted back up fully in 29 seconds on a dual boot system with Win7 Pro on the flip side. Windoze 10 would have been 29 minutes.

My Win 7 Pro is not allowed to connect to a network or get on the internet. I have updates completely turned off. Runs like the day I installed it, which still isn’t as fast as Kubuntu.

I wouldn’t recommend Ubuntu because it now uses the Gnome desktop which allows for very little customization. You can get Gnome Tweak tools which helps a little but it’s still limited.

Lubuntu/Xubuntu are good lightweight versions.

If you want answers, anything Ubuntu based is your best bet because it’s so widely used. With a lot of the other ones, ask a question and be prepared to be told how stupid you are by super genius nerds.

I was yelled at yesterday and told how stupid I am. The one yelling is probably one of the most obvious morons I have ever met. There was no use in telling him WHY he was wrong because the idiot would never have understood the right answers.

The dumbest frequently yell the loudest.
