Mint Cinnamon guy for manyl years here but I've done my share of distro hopping so a couple of points. 1) In Mate I always change the environment from traditional Mate to Redmond. I've always found having both a top and bottom bar to be a waste of space (especially wit today's focus on widescreens). Redmond converts the desktop to your traditional bottom bar only. 2) I agree that XFCE's category section in the menu is annoying. Luckily you can fix it easily by right clicking on the menu button, going into the menu properties and ticking the box that says something like "Place categories next to search". Not intuitive but easy if you know about it. Have a great Sunday!

A word of caution to the developers among us. Most applications at this point are only supported on versions 20.04 or 22.04, so while the latest flavours look awesome, it will take a little while for the world to catch up. However, for typical desktop and creative work, it's highly recommended to use one of the the flavours mentioned. Fantastic work Chris.

Unity = Wastes tons of space with gigantic clumsy 'touch screen' popup krap Mate = Pointless extra bar on bottom = adding ridiculous time wasting extra amounts of mouse travel 2 hit extra features. Budgie = Dumb space wasting mouse-time burning distracting screen burning useless extra row of 'mac krap' icons on bottom, otherwise similar 2 LXDE (doesnt extra space menus =) Gnome = 2 spread out = stupid, wasting space & time hitting elements, & can't even change the mouse cursor = ROFL!! Really it's between Budgie (if can get rid of the 'mac row' on bottom) & LXDE & KDE Plasma (if can 'compact' it more & highlight 'categories' in start menu in a more obvious E Z way instead of confusing tiny arrows on right.

What a wonderfully informative video! I've never got on well with Ubuntu as it's felt to me that it lacks configurability. My preference has been Linux Mint Cinnamon but a recent inability to get sound working using Mint on one of my mini PCs meant I used Ubuntu on it while I was putting together a new Windows 11 desktop build. If I'd had seen this video I'd have gone for Kubuntu. It looks really clean and configurable. I've used Lubuntu for a while in a virtual machine to run Kodi on my Windows PC and it works really well with a limited hardware VM.

Ironically I ditched Ubuntu for Linux Mint because of the Unity desktop. Unity was intended as an alternative to the desktop metaphor. Well, I was not remotely interested; all I wanted to do was use the computer and the traditional desktop was perfectly fine, and remains so to this day. This is not a video about Mint but as it's been over a decade since I touched Ubuntu, I will say that Mint has been very stable and I find it very well put together-a magnificent distribution if there ever was one. The XFCE variant is my favourite. I've always had a soft spot for XFCE. And now we've reached the end of another comment.

I especially like the System Settings app due to its consistency, ease of navigation, grouping of all things configurable into a single app, and its ability to configure just about every little detail of the system. I also really like the configurability of the Application Launcher, that has the same sort of detailed approach as in the System Settings. My second favorite is Linux Mint for its Windows-like simplicity, which is why I have it installed in our office business computer. As for other distros, I was not previously aware of Ubuntu Studio; very interesting. Thanks for the info!

My current daily driver is an HP Stream 14 that I installed Lubuntu on. I needed a lightweight distro that would still leave enough space on a 64 GB eMMC SSD, and after trying Debian on it for a few weeks, I switched over to Lubuntu. Everything runs so smoothly on there. Typing and emailing documents, editing photos, streaming, browsing. And this is a laptop that goes for $200 at Walmart that can barely handle Windows 10, yet with Lubuntu, it handles as well as hardware two or three times its cost.

I had to create account so i could state my case. Ubuntu 24.04 is literally the best linux distro i had the experience with. Up until now, i used to switch between mint (after distro hopping) and windows (previous Ubuntu's versions were way too buggy). I thought, why not give it another try. Literally for the first time, everything worked out of the box, no missing WiFi drivers, the internet speed is as equal as the one on windows, but most importantly, the fractional scaling at 125% works like a charm. I am running it on the work laptop from 2019 equipped with intel pentium 4417u and 8gb of ram, it's quite snappy. They did something because even fedora didn't run that fast or popos in my case. As for my beloved Mint Cinnamon, wayland is still in the experimental phase.

That means my 22.04 MATE is now supported to 2032. Under those circumstances I don't think I can be bothered to upgrade or swap flavours anymore. Delete the bottom panel, install and populate Plank and it's a very slick OS.

How does this work with installing Steam and playing games? I have a 1080 Ti MSI Nvidia graphics card from 2017 and video card driver from 2017. I want to avoid A.I. like the plague. That's also why I won't upgrade to Windows 11, especially 23H2 and above. Do you have a tutorial for installing and setting up Ubuntu LTS like Windows GUI, and with Steam, which also allows me to install a driver from 2017?

@@ernies8828Ubuntu, Mint, and POP OS are all great for playing games. I think KDE might be the best desktop environment for that though, so maybe go for Kubuntu. Quite a lot of games run really well on Proton nowadays. I also want to avoid AI but unfortunately have to use Windows for Adobe software.

this was neat to watch even though i have never tried linux in any capacity. i've considered it but always assume the extra set up and install requirments are too much hastle for me and i don't know the process behind it. but seeing how comfortable the layouts are, i guess for daily use it works well, and seeing it's more responsive than windows is a plus because my laptop is getting old

I've been a Linux user ever since it emerged as a credible alternative to Windows. I tolerate Windows where I have to. However at home we all use Zorin OS for its ease of use and games friendly aspects

Nice summary! I have to say, after trying numerous distributions and the many different ways various DE's are configured, I've found Mint and Cinnamon to be rather good indeed. It's still on 21.3 though. Looking forward to 24.x I guess some distros put so much work into customisation and configuration of a DE, you never quite know what you are going to get, even if the exact same DE is used. But this is why Mint actually shines - Cinnamon is their baby. Damn fine too!

Ubuntu Mate is the only one I'd pick, but I haven't tried that in a while. Xfce is great, but don't judge it by Xubuntu. It's configured much better in MXLinux. Budgie is one I may revisit. I prefer Cinnamon as my favourite, but I use it on Mint, btw! Another Great video by the Sunday Morning Master! 👍

Very informative! I didn't know about some of the flavours. I don't know why their xfce implementation is like that. I use xfce with Debian 12 and the menu has the categories on the left. As I roll over them the apps appear for each section. I was away from x86 Linux for a while as I had a Chromebook. My experience on a £99 refurb ThinkPad has been stellar. Everything "just works" and it's beaten the Chromebook hands down in every area (apart from the obvious Google integration, but that's not the advantage it once was)

Greetings, Christopher. I recently installed Ubuntu Budgie on a 15 year old desktop with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 6gb of ram. Even with the rather dated hardware, the distro runs quite well, and makes for a very good spare workshop desktop for web surfing and streaming. I have run live ISO files of most of the available Ubuntu flavors, and find Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu to also be quite nice on old hardware.

Man Ubuntu Studio is pretty incredible, I'm sold on that now, will have to make a build dedicated for that, along with some decent Synth & MIDI hardware, perhaps a Dreamblaster & Ubuntu Studio on a decent Ryzen mini PC or Intel NUC is the way to go.

The special thing is that Ubuntu Studio has a real-time Linux kernel for reducing lag and delay.
@Wobble2007 6 күн бұрын
@@HaraldEngels That is really good to hear if that is the case then, I am surprised I mixed it because I have been looking for a low latency X64 OS for ages, as only legacy Windows can be considered low latency, so if Ubuntu Studio OS with Proton could be amazing depending on how low latency it actually is, could be perfect for running decompiled games.

KDE is my favorite desktop. I run Feren OS though. It's like Kubuntu but without the snaps. It's what Linux Mint before they abandoned having a KDE flavor. Loving it so far.

Have messed about with Linux Mint Cinnamon many times over the years but always seem to have niggling issues like trackpads not exactly reliable, sometimes working and other times not working. LUBUNTU looks interesting.,.. also been considering LMDE. Great Video!

Thanks Chris for a really interesting video, I can tell you’ve put a lot of hard work into producing this! Cinnamon Mint is still my No 1 distro, I’d like to give Ubuntu Cinnamon a whirl plus, kubuntu & xubuntu, I ran the last two as virtual machines in ‘Virtualbox’ & quite enjoyed messing about with them! Due to the security issues that they pose can you disable snap packages in any of the Ubuntu flavours? :)

I am a Kubuntuian 😂 exactly I stick to the LTS release till the next upgrade to my PC i.e buying new one, increase the RAM, adding or replacing new disk, etc. Right now I still at 22.04 that I had upgraded it from 20.04.

I use Linux Mint as my daily driver but am extremely impressed with Ubuntu Studio. I set up a small personal recording studio around a 10 year old i7-based HP all-in-one computer a neighbour threw out on their nature strip for hard rubbish. A RAM upgrade and SSD install later, Ubuntu Studio works extremely well on it and Ardour is an amazing multitrack audio recorder.
