Your favorite Linux / BSD desktop distro?

I feel like Elementary OS runs faster than both Deepin and Ubuntu 20 DDE (both are using Deepin Desktop Environment).
Feel free to share your thoughts.

P.S.: XenForo 2 forums till now fail their default English font fallback on Elementary OS. I saw all fonts are rendered into Source Sans Pro.
Using customized CSS can route fonts to what you want (i.e. "Inter" as what I previously suggested), but I am afraid that XF 2.2 or later can officially ship "Inter" font.

Jesus, no one uses a Linux desktop here.
(I don't primarily use it. It's my tertiary choice... sort of "plan C".)

I am currently using ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and desktop. The upgrade to 20.04 is still on the to do list. in the past I have had redhat, fedora, gentoo and backtrack linux, and also tried slackware and mandrake.

I have used Elementary OS but I prefer Ubuntu.

Now I found one more adorable choice: CloudReady.
This is a ChromiumOS distro for non-ChromeBook-Branded PCs.
As long as the CPU virtualization is enabled, one can run a debian linux submode in it.
A wonderful choice for XenForo addon development, utilizing your old laptops pretty well.

Elementary OS and KDE

Old thread, but I recently installed Zorin OS on my laptop and I'm loving it so far. It's a great looking OS and it's got an amazing level of spit and polish for a Linus distro. I settled on it after installing and testing Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary OS, Pop! OS and Deepin.

I've toyed around with dual boots and the like for years, but I never found a distro that stuck. I think this one actually will.

Linux Mint here.

Long time Fedora user. It's my only OS, no secondary.

I use the last KDE Mint, and have for maybe 4 years; but I very much prefer OPENsuse, my old love [ just won't install on this aged computer, plus they went ugly Flat Style and depressing dark tones ]. Next computer I'll have OPENsuse KDE and try and make it look old-fashionedly decent.

I hate Flat/Swiss/Metro/Apple/Unity crap.


( Apparently on Apple they don't encourage other theming, knowing theirs is the only true way. Thank God for Linux.

I've just put Fedora 33 onto one of my laptops to have a play around with.
