I’ve been using Linux Mint Cinnamon since 2015 I think. Absolutely love it. So stable.

I’m running Kubuntu with the Plasma desktop. Fast and fancy. Instead of the Mac copy cat docker at the bottom, I have a left panel with all my commonly used apps. My task bar is at the top rather than the bottom.

I’ve tried Zorin, but went back to my years-long favorite, Ubuntu. I’ve got 4 computers running it. My wife’s machine and my work laptop are the only Windows computers on my property.

While this article is how each flavor of linux presents, that is really just window (pardon that reference) dressing. The real beauty of Linux is that it is sleek, compact, and efficient. I have two Linux computers running with one meg memory and 500Mb disks. They perform very well. Compare that to the Dell All-in-One with Windoze 11 that I just sent back ... 12meg RAM and a one Tb hard drive and a 256Mb SSD. It was so slow that it could not even keep up with me when typing URLs into Edge. Everything took several seconds to wake up ... one program (PhotoShop) took almost 40 seconds to become ready. It seems that M$ Windoze from W8 on gets heavier and slower. Windoze well and truly suks these days.

They either copy windows or MAC.

Any originals?

Great post. Been using Linux since probably 95 or so, when it was just starting. Using Mint for the past 10 or so. Before I retired as a developer I was always checking out the other distros. Amazing creativity in the open source ecosystem. Haven’t used windoze since about 95. A lot of people don’t know that the Internet (server side) is almost entirely open source.
