Pretty good distro overall, it's zippy despite being a rather customized, it also allows you to further customize it without installing GNOME Tweaks. It has its own app to connect your phone to have macOS-iOS-style integrations like FrontRow, remote for iWork and those that aren't present in the Apple platforms anymore and your can find them on F-Droid which makes you feel a little extra good about the whole thing. Speaking of Apple, this is among the very few distros that will have driver support for Macs' wireless cards, in other distros you can download them but its 80/20 it'll work. These perks are undervalued in a sea of Linux distros and have had me debating if I should upgrade to the Ultimate version. The downsides are: Active Directory support is hit and miss, but more miss. This has been an issue on most GNOME3-based ditros though, on the command line you can log in to your directory account just fine meaning you can use Kerberos functionality but you will have a different password for your account than that of your domain's since GNOME fails to login. This is a huge issue in my case, the next is that it uses Aptitude as the package manager, it may be my lacks of skills finding metapackages which is easily accomplished with Dandified YUM's groups. Third is the customization you're getting with Zorin is really only GNOME, installing other desktop environments requires knowing their metapackages and them having support for Ubuntu 18.04, the closest thing to Zorin. The overall feeling is airy and light like Fedora but much older, you can't help but feel there's something missing. If you don't need to join a domain this is an amazing distro and I think it's totally worth the price because you'll get support for it as well. I think it's something like USD40. RHEL is much higher and AFAIK the only other supported distro--and also pretty good.

This is a distribution that just plain works. When I bought a new laptop about two years ago, I wiped Win10 off of it, and installed this. When I was sick of the short lifespans of another distro, I put it on my server.

However, it's not the end-all, be-all of Linux. It's missing several important packages that, for me, would make it pretty much complete. For my workstation/multipurpose computer I want qemu and mythtv, which are not available here, so I have to look elsewhere. Choices make the world go around.

ArchLinux is the most impressive distribution I've ever used!

I have been a Linux user since 2000 and a Slackware user for 17 years.

Looking for an alternative to replace Slackware, I also went through BSD, variants of Debian * too (which means Funtoo, Gentoo), but the only one I chose that corresponds to everything I need is: ArchLinux!

Simply PERFECT!

Solus KDE 4.1 - Solus blog constantly hijacking Firefox homepage. There's no fix other than downloading from snap/flat. I tried to like it. It's possibly the most stable KDE out there. Having a browser that's been completely purged, profile removed, and wiped from the OS only to have it hijacked again on a fresh install seems pretty shady.

Finally I found a stable OS for daily use. I hate formatting and I hate trying new distros. Unfortunately I had to try many distros like Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, Linux Mint... They weren't for daily use. I got problems about Nvidia drivers, too much fan noise or system problems with the distros. Then I give Pop_OS a try. I use it for 1.5 years! Pop_OS is very suitable for my Asus laptop. I like its power management. I used to hear too much fan noise for many distros and Windows 10. I hear less fan noise with Pop_OS.

tried various attempts in preTest via VirtualBox guest install. my norm to checking other features and distros out - this 20.0+ per previous 19.0 version did not wish to load. "Failed to start Virtual-Box Guest VMSVGA resize client - then after other change attempts to VB settings - using arch base fails again after about 100 or so seconds where boot screen comes up - with poss 1/6th of progress load line I'd assume!??? - then pop's another error " Could not Sync Environment to dbus " - 16g mem on fair Q3610 cpu laptop - normally all everything works not seen this type of - Live start to failing in VB.. Odd I like this distro - testing was the KDE .iso - possibly will try download the flagship - xfce DT and try that per a VB/guest check on function.



This is a decent distro always has been with oddly possible tweaks and or maybe a miss on a script syntax for loading via various methods - which I'm sure is a daunting mind sweep of things to catch and place for builders. I like this bc its all an everything kept with latest of latest all per maybe 1 or 3 level below latest kernel .. So dbl thumbs up on this one. Maybe just the odd feature I'm guesting is not quite in the compass swing.. Trying other .iso xfce .. easy enough to tweak'n'tune for services etc.

Install test 2020.09

Good: boots on nvidia already into live session. Nice UI, already sets monitor frequency to max. Keyboard control is pretty good as everything is clearly highlighted, but wait, we're in Xfce. That's why. No mouse as there's no Bluetooth! So I made exception and continued installation which gives you selection of DEs. Impressive but thanks to that the online installation was super slow. Looks like all their mirrors are very slow, noticed it during iso grab already.

After ugly looking boot (with irq errors and huge LUKS delay) plasma loads and again, no Bluetooth. On their website I read they think Bluetooth is unsafe. Ok lol. Keyboard time! on KDE - you know that's a bad idea.

Next there's no software manager. What! Another test of NIC and USB was pretty successful in live, but in first session some USB3 ports were downgraded. Can this be a competition to Arcolinux/Manjaro? Let's do the resume test. It sucks. Firefox window emptied and cannot even refresh. Settings app empty. But don't worry, this applies to almost all distros. But also: all networks (also wifi) gone. Never could recover them. The system froze when modprobing and had to press reset button. Next...

Having checked a dozen of distros in a short time, and did the same test in each one. Well, not in this one. This distro is the only one which cannot boot at all on a modern machine (freshest chipset, strictly nvidia). No safe mode offered.

There are for sure some distros, and not a small minority, which don't boot first. But at least you can get to installation via safe mode.

Hmm, no Solus test possible.

Interesting alternative to Manjaro. With surprising result.

I hopped a dozen of distros this weekend, on a modern machines (all recent components and nvidia).

I posted all notes, and the experience with distros was as usual: hard to boot on nvidia, missing NICs, missing bluetooth mouse.

But overall the ArcoLinux and Manjaro topped the charts.

The ArcoLinux doesn't offer tools after installation, at least I don't see anything, but the installer is cool to let you select DE and tons of major apps (incl. a firefox localization - nice detail).

It behaves well. Strong on my radar.

Installed the LXQT Ultimate version with no issues a few weeks ago.



Running a multi-boot system with several Arch-based distros - Manjaro (KDE) and Archlabs (OB), several Debian based distros (Debian, Mint, MX and Q4OS), Fedora and EasyOS. All used the ext4 file system.



Was interested to try a new rolling Arch-based version using the BTRFS and Timeshiift. Works beautifully.

I'm not a gamer, but appreciated the collection of software installed, and the ease of updating.

To me, Garuda looks like a "keeper" - it's fresh and just works quickly and reliably so far.

I am always pleasantly surprised at how well the manjaro team implements the KDE version. In the beginning I was afraid to switch to manjaro because of the package installer "pamac". However, it works just as well as "apt". At the moment I have a few minor problems with Conky, although this is not to be found in Manjaro, but rather in Conky!

I've had good results with MX Linux and old hardware, so I decided to scrub Peppermint OS from an old PC and install MX Linux for a change of pace. The first thing I noticed was graphics artifacting using live, to the point where you couldn't read text. I was able to use nomodeset in boot options and clear that issue, but the installer would time out when you went to run it. It should be noted I had to use a live DVD since the BIOS would not boot the USB. Something strange was going on with the video drivers. The PC has a PNY Geforce GT 240. I rebooted and the graphics issue cleared on its own, but I still saw small artifacts around the screen. Dots that would come and go, graphical anomalies. After successfully installing MX Linux and even updating and trying NVIDIA drivers, I decided to call it quits. Maybe I could've used a different driver and fixed the issue, but I didn't feel like spending hours on it. I wiped the drive and installed Peppermint OS again, which had no graphics issues and took off without a hitch. While I do recommend MX Linux for old systems, I was disappointed to run into this issue out of the box.

Yet another Ubuntu based iso that wont boot via grub or syslinux just because the kernel command line is wrong! Haven't these guys noticed yet? There isn't a "cdrom" directory anywhere on the iso, and particularly before the "preseed". This has been going on for years! Enough - get your brains in gear.

What does that tell me? Such a simple error shows people blindly copying without any clue of what they are doing. It also means that the iso has never been tested.

So why would I trust this distribution on my computer? I gets tossed into the round bin!

This is about Fedora Silverblue edition.



Instead of installing everything through packages, it encourages you to use Flatpaks for most graphical apps and containers for everything else. So, the system itself stays lean. Of course, if you really need to install something system-wide, rpm-ostree will do the job.



And how is it? Great, actually. As every system update creates a new "image", if anything goes wrong with it, it's a matter of rebooting and choosing the previous one. The only downside is having to reboot to update the system. But it's not a big deal, since most apps are meant to be installed through Flatpaks and containers anyway. Also, rebooting to update doesn't take any extra time, since you're just switching between old and new.



It's not complicated as it may seem. I needed to use rpm-ostree to install Totem (fixes the lack of video thumbnails in Files) and some extra codecs. Now I have a very low-maintenance system. It's still Linux, not locked down at all, but it gets elegantly out of the way if I want to. I'm not always in the mood for tinkering, so a system that I can update (and rollback) in seconds gives me the peace of mind I need.

I like the idea but performance is just overall too much to bare. Buggy/jenky/quirky.

I suppose that's partially due to being Ubuntu based.



Having access to the Flathub store through the app store is pretty cool and convenient.



Wanna customize it a little? You'll have to jump through a few hoops to do so. Not "beginner" friendly to make it your own.

I have tried to like this distro and when connected via Ethernet, it works well. No matter what brand of machine I install it on, the wireless connection will seem to connect only to then disconnect with the message the adapter has been deactivated and then it won't connect even when trying 2.4 or 5 or a different router. There's probably a workaround of some kind, but there's really no reason why this should happen in a mature distro. Doesn't happen with any of the other Arch distros I've tried.

This is one of the very few distributions, where the network adapter of my HP mini netbook 110 works right away, in the Live system and after the installation. Performance is good.

After many many distro reviews... I chose MX Linux v17 to work side by side with my Linux mint machines. One year later, I have "upgraded" Mint to MXLInux on all my machines, and have had stellar performance .



Linux for me falls into two distinct categories :

1) Works great

2) Problems when they arise are easily resolved.



MXLinux handles both these categories with ease. The community is AWESOME, the software works ! Period ! .. I have stayed with MX through version 18 and now version 19 and just amazing how stable and usable it is with little to no mods.



I also have move many windows users to MXlinux as well and every single one stepped in and has had a GREAT conversion and experience. (even to the point of buying a new laptop or desktop and *requesting* I remove windows and put MXLinux on it ! )

This is a good os, but not for what its advertised for.



There are quite a few issues with what they say it is for. To begin, they encourage using pamac as the main package manager. Now for any experienced user, you can do this just fine, but as a new user you should be learning to use the command line for when you at some point break your system. Now you can get away with not learning it and all sure, but then there is the AUR issue. Now I personally love the AUR and i really like all that it provides, but there is an issue when it comes to using the AUR. You should always be checking the AUR packages you use. Instead, pamac gives one small warning about the AUR and nothing else. Overall its good for me if I need an os on like my laptop. But if you want to use something like this, i would recommend arch linux, or nixos, or ubuntu with nix package manager.

Excellent. Solid Debian with KDE. Installed without issue on a somewhat troublesome laptop on which several other Debian distros had failed to install.



So, it just works. What more can you ask for. A+

basically steroids for your distro

the init select menu on boot is honestly the holy grail if you hate systemd

in my opinion its the best distro

Solid system with a very reliable and high quality knowledge base through the arch wiki.



I find it to be reliable and fit for purpose. Admittedly there is a fair bit of tweaking to get the initial system where you want it - but that can be done over time and then you can just make a full snapshot for easy recovery later if you need it.



The rolling release is very good for ensuring you can keep with the latest kernel and drivers.
