Favorite Linux

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Ubuntu = 7
(I don't know Dreamlinux)

I'm using openSUSE 11.1 most of the time (KDE 3.5 with Compiz).

Darwin! Wait, that's Mach/BSD-instein, not Linux.

Probably Ubuntu, that's the only one I've really used.

On a scale of 1 - 10 what would you vote The desktop KDE to The other one, i forgot sorry
But KDE Is the best over the other one thats what i can remember

By "The Other One" I'm guessing you mean Gnome. They each have their strengths/weaknesses. I agree that KDE looks really nice, but I find that Gnome provides a simpler and easier to use interface. KDE applications (Qt) also look good in Gnome, while Gnome applications (GTK) look like crap in KDE.

It depends what you need. I've had issues with VMware's Unity and VirtualBox's Seamless View when using KDE. Because I almost always run Linux in a VM, I tend to default to Gnome.

Gnome - 8
KDE4 - 7
KDE3 - 2

I'm surprised Gentoo hasn't been mentioned yet...

Hold the phone there! The other one? Something just doesn't seem right...

You "developed" DreamLinux and yet you don't know the name of the other major desktop environment for linux? I find this development claim of yours to be rather dubious.
NickG wrote:Yea, i think my favorite linux would be pureOS
And not the distribution you developed?
NickG wrote:You guys have to try Dreamlinux
Why? Even you think some other distro is the best. Why should we listen to what some random d00d says if he doesn't even practice what he preaches?

Sorry man, there's a couple of things that just don't add up here.

I installed Zenwalk Linux a few days ago and it's been treating me nice enough.

Me too... I absolutely love Gentoo. Compiling everything from source takes some time, but perfect dependency generation, multi-architecture support, and compiler optimizations make it a worthy tradeoff. If you can handle the involved customization, it's just about the best Linux system you can get IMHO.
