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!

[@benejix]

Positive to note.

[@PJRye]

I'm still running 22.04, but changed from the standard desktop to Cinnamon for just the reasons you stated. It was easy - just install using Synaptic. It's great to be able to try another desktop without disrupting anything else in your workflow.

[@config2000]

Regardless of the sheer number of Linux distros to choose from (which may seem overwhelming) the important thing is the absolute free choice it gives to us end users. That's something the big corps don't really want us to have.

[@esra_erimez]

I've been using Kubuntu since I was a child, my dad gave it to me on a used laptop. But, I'm watching this on KDE Neon for that Plasma 6.1 goodness.

[@ExplainingComputers]

[@zephyfoxy]

I have Kubuntu on my desktop, and KDE Neon on my laptop and a micro computer used as a media station. KDE Plasma is such a nice DE

[@MrRyuken555]

KDE is my fav desktop environment, but running it on EndevourOS (Arch based) very stable and you get the latest packages. Lots of tools are built in to update etc if you don't want to use Pacman etc.

Fantastic video this week, congrats!

[@ahmad-murery]

The Edubuntu is the flavor I wish I had when I was a kid although I didn't have a computer back then. Thanks Chris!

[@AbdusSalam-cb6yj]

In my opinion, XFCE is the best of all. Highly customizable, stable, looks polished and capable. It takes up around 700-800 MB of RAM. So, decent. It just works,

[@rursus8354]

I agree.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Xfce is pretty much perfect. I get that some people want things to keep changing to feel "modern" (usually at the expense of usability), but Xfce just does everything so well.

[@Starchface]

Indeed! I have been a fan of XFCE for longer than many viewers have been alive, I suspect. I really don't see anything missing from XFCE that is important. The implementation as shown in Xubuntu is not well set up, but it's a matter of 5 minutes to make it nice.

[@jasonhawkins4528]

You definately do the best videos. I have just linked a person from a windows channel who wanted to see about different flavours of linux to your channel and said "these videos are very informative"

[@ProjectPhysX]

I love Kubuntu with the excellent KDE desktop. Super simple installation, very minimal RAM usage at 700MB, and the Kate text editor is just fantastic for programming.

[@guilherme5094]

That's a fact!! Kate is awesome!

[@tdata545]

THANK YOU, nothing more annoying than trying to dip your toe in linux, you go to a distro page and it just inundates you with a dozen subsets. It's nice to see this laid out in this manner so I can pick which one I like from an aesthetics perspective.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

One of the things I'm liking about Linux is the variety. I'm not stuck using one distro, and if they make a new one that has more or better features, I can simply switch to it with no problems. I'm really glad I jumped off the spyware bandwagon.

[@tedoyle61]

Great video. Thanks for going over the different flavors!!

[@bramfran4326]

Beautiful video, now that is some style overload! 💅 Ubuntu Kylin looks good, I didn't know about it, I will give it a try.

[@LMacNeill]

Wow! I had no idea Ubuntu had so many different "flavours." Decisions, decisions... I'm going to have some serious choices to make when I switch to Linux next October when Windows 10 reaches EOL.

[@ilaripori6148]

Just go with default Ubuntu :D

[@generaltony9930]

Me also gonna switch

[@Diggy22]

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.

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Very informative. I remember starting out 40 years ago with unix on DEC VAXs, then as the market changed dos and windows took over. In my personal life I like macOS, but I have a few older PC laptops that are were happily running Ubuntu then I switched to Zorin 17. Thanks as always.

[@jpmyers6950]

Great job Chris. Love that flavors offers soo many choices. With the new Debian Bookworm going to the source makes more sense to me. Can't beat Debian Mint, it's my go-to on my N100 rig, no fan, silent.

[@patpopov]

In Xfce you can right click on the menu button and go to 'Properties > Appearance > Position categories on left'. 19:20

Awesome video. I had "figure out the differences between the versions of Ubuntu and pick one" on my list, and you just saved me hours of research and trial and error. Just from watching your video, I immediately vibed with Budgie, so I think I'll give that one a try in a VM. :)

[@ExplainingComputers]

Good luck with Budgie. Has a really nice feel to it. :)

[@Apollolabsphoto]

I have to agree even though I'm not coming back to Ubuntu, the mate version has so much charm, and if you go to desktop layouts it has osx and windows themes that look nicer than the real thing, even though I've moved onto Manjaro and ultramarine now

[@ditzydoo4378]

I love your content and with the latest debacles on the part of both MS and Adobe I foresee an even greater migration to GIMP, DaVinci and Linux such as these.

[@exodor6426]

Thank you for this video, i've been considering Ubuntu and in particular Kubuntu as an alternative once windows 10 drops support. Having these short "reviews" by you, who I consider a trusted source, helps ease a possible transition. I don't know if you've done it, but a future video tip (and one I would appreciate) as windows 10 approaches its end could be about some hand picked assorted Linux distributions their characteristics. I'm sure a lot of people will begin searching for it, and your concise clear explanations can help many confused and anxious people. 😊

[@loudtrexx]

Ah another linux video! I find these videos about Operating systems so entertaining and interesting! I seriously hope linux comes more mainstream desktop os since many people are scared of linux because of the terminal not realizing you can just look up a command on the web if really necessary Thank you chris once again for the video and see you next time!❤

Unity reminds me of using Ubuntu back in the day and MATE even more so since that is how Ubuntu used to look like before Unity. It’s nice that we still can use these looks without having to run old unsupported Ubuntu.

Brilliant video, mate. I use Ubuntu Gnome and Mac to do all my computing work. The Budgie desktop looks nice too.

Sunday greetings, Monsieur. With a new Sunday arrives a new informative video. This time with LTS release, Ubuntu Cinnamon is quite an addition. PS: As for Ubuntu Unity, the Unity desktop is revived and developed by a teenage developer from India, who revived unity flavor unofficially when he was just 12 years old.

[@LostInThe0zone]

After your recent video touting 24.04, I finally have upgraded to said version. I went through 3 separate upgrades to get there, and thus learned painful lessons in snap. There have been three separate applications that wouldn't upgrade properly via snap. I had to learn how to force none snap application installation. Really not what I expected.

[@MichelMorinMontreal]

The perfect presentation for those wondering why there are so many different Linux desktops... We're not used to a certain diversity with Microsoft and Apple, so it's true that this may seem redundant... With this exercise, we understand the role of some (lighter systems) and the importance of others... Congratulations and thanks!

[@samaitcheson7057]

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.

[@andymcgarty3099]

Xubuntu is my favourite flavour from Ubuntu community. I used it on a very nice rig I had years ago. I am not a big fan of Unity environment. Nowadays I have Mint cinnamon and it just works. BTW, no snaps too 😜. For a more professional Linux, OpenSuse never disappoints me.

Mate was a fork of Gnome 2 the first desktop many of us oldies used on Linux. Its like comfort food.

[@crom29a]

Thanks for this video and for introducing me to Ubuntu Studio. I'll take a look. 👍

[@jaffarbh]

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.

[@ExplainingComputers]

A very important point.

[@Deathrape2001]

That's obscene. Meanwhile Every version of Windows can run anything from an earlier generation, pretty much, with minimal 'compatibility layer' tools like 'DOS Box' or whatever (no need 4 a virtual machine or rebooting). iRun 64 bit Windows 10 within an Oracle Virtual Box Portable Virtual Machine on 32 bit Windows XP (can even run it from a USB stick! =) so iCan access 'the latest greatest' software the fools who wrote it didn't bother 2 make compatible with a real OS like Window $ex Pee (XP =) Everthing other than the extra 'compatibility layer' in everything after XP is absolute krap, with a few exceptions like 1) Vertical sync for the desktop (to avoid horizontal tearing in web browser video playback), 2) APO (Audio Processor Object) support for 'global' sound mixer output plugins (like parametric EQ =) 3) GPT support for large hard drives (beyond 2 terabytes).

Xubuntu was the first flavor of Ubuntu that I fell in love when I first started using Linux; it still has my favorite implementation of Xfce OOTB. That said, I'm a dedicated user of Kubuntu these days. Kubuntu has, in my opinion, a good implementation of Plasma with the benefits of Ubuntu.

Great video as always... As a die hard mint user myself was very intrigued with the budgie flavour (hint for a deeper dive 😂😂)

[@ExplainingComputers]

Yes, I may well take a closer look at Budgie.

[@PeterHonig.]

My favorite distro by far, is Kubuntu KDE Plasma. 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!

[@musicalneptunian]

I have been running Ubuntu Studio since 2019. It's an excellent distro for pro audio.

Excellent review of all of this desktop softwares. That educational is great for kids. It would have been nice if they run on raspberry pi 4 or 5. So I could make some systems for the kids in my area and give it as birthday present.

[@zephyfoxy]

Heeeyyy Kubuntu, that's what I've been using as a daily for a while now. KDE Plasma has been my favorite DE for a couple years now, it feels the most cozy and comfortable, very "at home" feeling. On a more serious note tho I'm really glad this video was made, I have a handful of friends who want to make the leap from Windows to Linux, and a video showing different desktop environments and how they look and feel is very helpful for people still making that decision.

[@NatesRandomVideo]

Nice summary. I’m a raw Debian guy myself since the late 90s, no Ubuntu, but the overview of all of these desktops is worthwhile. Does miss out on all of the tiling window managers but that isn’t newbie friendly. Ha. Cheers.

[@matthewtrow5698]

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!

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.

[@borneoorangutan]

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

Way back when you did your Ryzen 3 2200G build videos, I was inspired to build a similar rig. I wanted to put linux on it for use in my research lab.
