Which Linux OS Flavor Is Best for You?

Let’s admit there are more options for linux distro than there are for underwear. I am not kidding, Linux distros are around 200 or more so. With more languages, it has almost language version coming out for each release. I think OS flavor is something we all need to understand as far as the usage is concerned. Almost every flavor out there has it’s own reasons to be out. Some of the versions of the OS which does not have decent features are not working with many people. And so if there are not many people using it, eventually such flavors are going down. So I think it’d be fun to discuss those type of linux flavors. In this article, I want to discuss some of the good flavors of the linux which you can try on and see if that works for you. I am going to list some of my favorites.

Ubuntu

This distro is one of the popular. And it has managed to reach a lot of users over the period of years. And many people blindly trust ubuntu brand now. So this can be surely one good distro to download and distribute. I wish to use this distro and check out if it can apply in this case. I suggest using ubuntu if you are new to linux. I don’t think other linux flavors are any good. But I think if one invests good amount of timee to tweak the Ubuntu as per their usage, it would require no effort of any kind. It can be fun to seee how ubuntu goes from here onwards with the gnome setup in future.

Suse

This is another operating system distro which can be good to check out. It has plenty of active users. In fact it is being picked by many operating systems in the enterprise world. That’s one reason you can see how the OS can get popular. I have used the Suse plenty of times. In fact even NASA users prefer this linux distro. So you can get the idea that it has some wider reach. And with enough effort we can learn it lot quicker too. I think Suse is one good OS to start using the linux. And learning curve is not that easy. You have to understand that there are times when the Suse can be of good use.

Trisquel

It’s another linux distro that I often use. And with enough use of the OS, However there is onee more twist to this desktop. This is 100% free desktop. And there are no paid codecs and no paid work being done to port things. For example in ubuntu you have some paid codecs which you can’t find in trisqueel. Also there is no flash in trisquel too. Software has to bee 100% free to be usable on trisquel. So this process can be fun to use and reuse. I don’t think there is any other desktop that one can use with this flavor of linux. I just think that trisquel has lot better chance to be usable there as well.

These three are good flavors to be used. So do give this one a shot and see where you can find it much more usable.
