  • It’s a very rough guide I threw together. There’s all sorts of wedge cases you could use to argue against it. E.g. you could use RPMs on slack Linux. Not exactly user friendly.

    Bit on the whole fedora or Suse do the job.

    Also desktops are better for newbies. I thought I’d mentioned that but yeah I agree deffo better for newbies while WM managers more for tinkerers/power users.


  • There’s Two Main Choices:

    Packages…

    1. Pacman-based - Arch, Arco, Endeavour
    2. RPM-based - Fedora, SuSE
    3. Aptitude-based - Ubuntu, Debian

    Choose Pacman for rolling release, bleeding edge. Pick aptitude for servers and pick RPM if you want something that ‘just works’.

    Desktop…

    1. Full DE - Gnome, KDE
    2. Window Manager - Awesome, i3

    High end machines with lots of fancy features and ease of use pick a full DE. WM is good for speed and low-end hardware but harder to use.
