Before I ever install a distro I research it to make sure im not wasting my time. Everyones ultimate goal when distro shopping is something light, good looking, user friendly, usually its best to have something with some kind of community and something you like the feel of!
For a long time i didnt think about steering away from gnome, and I didnt like kde cause normally it was more ugly but when i saw kde distros they looked more complete and I just liked the feel. I tried mandriva and it was a lot faster than ubuntu and I like it a lot. I looked at other distros like it and the top distros that I find that were very similiar were mandriva openSUSE linux mint I think i have decided those are my favorite three kde distros and Ive been liking kde better then gnome so my favorite distro is... Linux mint! I like the look and feel and its fast and comes with codecs(doesnt really matter) preinstalled and even though in the end many distros are so similiar I just decided I it was my favorite! I understand if you say "tldr". Just tell me your current favorite distro. |

So, clean in terms of appearance? I can see what you mean. Ubuntu is also my favorite, but for different reasons. It's the only linux OS I can install on someones computer that won't leave them feeling aggravated. Yes, from startup, it's already a lightweight appearance, it has tiny icons for everything, so it's aesthetically pleasing. You don't have to go through all the trouble of configuring a UI that will match what ubuntu already gives to you. I heard holly gave you a BSOD on your windows computer ![]() |

It needs to go blue screen sometimes, but it's never unexpected. Crisis on Enthusiast will make my computer cry sometimes. |
