I get my Fedoras from Amazon!
Not many good hat stores around anymore,
Most blame 1. JFK wearing no hat trend...2. The compact cars of the early ‘60s! Hard to get in and out! Still a peoblem for those liking men’s hats!

If you are coming from Windows, and want a Debian-compatible distro, Linux Mint is probably the most suitable overall.
I’ll second that.
I’m running both Fedora and Ubuntu Mint Cinnamon.
Fedora is great for server kinds of stuff. But Ubuntu has all the video drivers for media production. So I’m sticking with Mint for my needs.
I ditched Windows 7 for Linux Mint. Works better than Windows.
Double bump for Linux Mint
Fine comparison. Thanks!
Fedora does have a a number of “spins” available for those with specialized interests, such as astronomy, graphics design, electronics simulation, Python programming, robotics, security, etc. You have the basic software you need all on one dvd.
I went with Zorin and am happy with it. Anything but Win10.
Tried Mint on an old machine and liked the Cinnamon desktop. Mint is now my go-to OS.
Yup. I personally run Fedora Server, but I customized it to NOT install Gnome, and install XFCE instead.
I use two monitors (both at home and at work), and it works just fine.
yeah, zorin is pretty good, you’re the first person besides myself, who ive ever heard uses it...
Agreed. I love it. It is so easy and smooth. And it...just works.
Which Mint desktop is the best?
MATE Xfce Or KDE?
I run Ubuntu on a 9 year old HP laptop. The hardware is starting to get finicky. I refuse to run MicroSoft on anything I own.
It’s worth mentioning that Ubuntu is the most popular distribution among developers, with about 40% of developer machine installs.
“If you are coming from Windows, and want a Debian-compatible distro, Linux Mint is probably the most suitable overall.”
I’ve used both Mint and Ubuntu extensively. That statement used to be much truer, I was never a fan of the Unity user interface.
Since Ubuntu has switched back to Gnome, it’s much better IMO. I’ve been running the 18.04 LTS version, and it’s been a very good experience.
It’s pretty cool having Steam and a good selection of games available on Linux as well... :-)
Bkmk
I should have already done this......bump.
