I like lubuntu

they're all garbage, install debian if you're used to the package management.
Carter Stewart
yeah, mostly crap
they're okay if you just want to get comfortable with linux software, but if you're a quick study then you might as well use a proper distro like Debian or Arch.

Is there a gnome unity type DE thats on Debian or Arch?
Nicholas Clark
Xubuntu is the best GNU distro
Oliver Martin
exactly what they , said.
I use debian for more than 10 years and when people with really old computers ask me to install them an OS just for browsing but not being as heavy as windows, I immediately think of ubuntu or mint.
The sad part is that the whole "ubuntu works" is a myth. It "works" because it enables proprietary s/w by default... and that's it.
I find it better to install debian stable on someone who doesn't know even what a terminal is, because I can then be sure that nothing will break, the system will be responsive with xfce and I will be able to install kde/gnome programs in order to make it a full functioning DE.
I really don't know why people choose something with less functionality and agility.

debian supports, like arch I assume, all the available DEs.
MATE, KDE, XFCE, Gnome, LXqt, LXDE, Cinnamon... and the list is endless.
The closest thing to unity is MATE but riced.
I personally use xfce which is more like Gnome2/MATE and can be turned into anything you want.
Oliver Edwards
xubuntu is good, and so is mint

the only linux distro that isn't crap is android
