>>55748215
xubuntu is better than "regular" ubuntu

arch or kys

>>55748215
I started on Ubuntu and from there moved to Xubuntu. Though, as >>55748265 said, Linux Mint has an easier learning curve.

Arch w/ Ratpoison or gtfo

Linux Mint

Does Mint still bundle non-free components with the installation ?

Bump for Interest

I'd recommend Fedora. It justwerks and it leaves room for the user to learn new things and make use of new skills, unlike Ubuntu which only appeals to beginners.

If you don't want Gnome there are different "spins" which are just Fedora with a different DE.

Are there any distros with better than average available software?

I am running a Mint iso on VM. I tried MATE and Cinnamon.

It is a good ditsro so far.
