UPDATE: One of my eagle-eyed readers who happens to teach Linux spotted the fact that DistroChooser lists Unity as the default desktop environment for Ubuntu.
#TOP LINUX VERSIONS FOR BEGINNERS DRIVER#
Ubuntu is what kicked off this Linux journey for me, and it's still my daily driver - even if it's being challenged by the likes of Deepin and elementary OS. Would I be given similar suggestions?ĭistrochooser's top result for me was Ubuntu, which is no surprise (note that it was the 4th result on Wadhwa's LibreHunt chooser). I wanted to see if I could arrive at roughly the same results by answering the site's 16 questions in a way that closely resembled my answers at LibreHunt. The #1 recommendation checks off the most features that meet your needs, while lower results have less exact matches. The results page is enormous, but it also descends in order of importance. Once you've answered the site's 16 questions you can optionally use a slider to assign weight to each one, indicating if it's more or less important to you.Īssign personal importance to the 16 questions You can answer it, but you can safely skip it." (So I skipped it!)
What's cool is that if your answers start to indicate that you're an absolute beginner, DistroChooser will preface stuff like security enhancement and special feature preferences with "This question is too far away from your requirement profile. These don't necessarily sound like questions a beginner would have, but the way they're explained is presented plainly so as not to overwhelm rookies.
#TOP LINUX VERSIONS FOR BEGINNERS SOFTWARE#
Here you'll also get into installation presets, distro idealogies and questions about building software from source.
DistroChooser doubles the amount of questions and drills down into more detail, allowing for multiple answers. The goal of DistroChooser is the same as LibreHunt's but it takes a more refined - perhaps even exhaustive - approach to finding your ideal Linux OS. Even if I don't stick with Deepin, the suggestions above capture what I've been searching for in my "forever distro." I've also been drawn to elementary OS, so I don't feel like I've been led astray based on my answers to Librehunt's questions.Īnd hey, I'd never even heard of Feren OS. This is interesting because I'm typing this article on Deepin, which I've fallen in love with since my installer review.
