Super-fast, easy to use and free, the Ubuntu operating system powers millions of desktops, netbooks and servers around the world. Ubuntu does everything you need it to. It'll work with your existing PC files, printers, cameras and MP3 players. And it comes with thousands of free apps.

Kubuntu

Kubuntu is an operating system built by a worldwide team of expert developers. It contains all the applications you need: a web browser, an office suite, media apps, an instant messaging client and many more. This is based off of Ubuntu, but uses the KDE desktop instead. I'm currently running Kubuntu, and it works amazing.

Linux Mint

The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. Started in 2006, Linux Mint is now the 4th most widely used home operating system behind Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS and Canonical's Ubuntu. It's very similar to Kubuntu in terms of layout, but comes with an easy to use package installer that has over 65000 applications ready to download. I've always loved Linux Mint, and would pick it over almost any other OS.

dude nice work bud looks really good.

Nice work with this thread.

Have you considered adding some of the other (perhaps more famous) distros like Arch or Debian? Also, you should add Blackbuntu to your list of security operating systems, if you wanted to have a more extensive list.

I haven't considered Arch/Debian etc. but I will probably add them soon. I had never even heard of Blackbuntu until you posted it, so I'll check it out :p

Nice thread i think i might try out linux

You definetly should, it's worth it
