which flavor is the best flavor? [spoiler] or is vanilla the best flavor? [/spoiler]
Xubuntu for Windows-like simplicity, MATE for a more traditional Linux desktop. Everything else is bloated or unnecessary.

Any that don't use unity and fit your use case is a valid choice.
>>59726936
Ubuntu Server , fits all my pleb needs

Ubuntu sucks and is normie trash. Xfce is the only thing that makes it slightly tolerable.
I unironically enjoy unity, so vanilla.
Oh, there is a Budgie spin?
>>59726936
Pick one, they're all shit either way
>>59726936
UBUNTU BUDGIE!?!! GONNA DOWNLOAD THAT SHIZ NOW
Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition 18.1 'Serena'

Lubuntu, is a no frills, rock solid flavor
Peppermint OS 7
There is no other choice

I like these kind of images
>>59726997
What if unity fits my use case? Is. There any other environment that integrates window menu in its title bar and the title bar to the status panel to save vertical space by two lines? Even tilers use at least one line of vertical space more than unity, if there is a single window, if there's more windows - even more vertical space is wasted.

None of the above.
The objectively best "flavor" is the netinstaller.

I'm on 17.04 for a week, only had kwin crash once - when changing the theme, and it was a weird one out - the rest of the time changing the workspace theme worked fine
I'd say it's perfectly usable
>>59726936
Ubuntu Server with i3.
>>59726994
Lubuntu is good for less bloated systems. The ubuntu support is longer though.
Running Ubuntu budgie right now. So far the only Ubuntu experience I've had that didn't make me want to an hero
>>59726936
Ubuntu Unity is the best.
Ubuntu MATE has screen tearing and visual glitches by default, but it's good overall after you enable the compositor and install drivers.
Linux Lite > Xubuntu
LXLE > Lubuntu
KDE Neon > Kubuntu
If you want to use GNOME, Fedora is much better than anything debian based.
If you want to use Budgie, Solus is better.
So a conclusion is that Ubuntu flavours are a meme.
>>59726936
Lubuntu when LXQT finally hits
Until then, Xubuntu
Linux Mint Cinnamon > Ubuntu MATE > Xubuntu > Lubuntu
i've used Kubuntu and Unity and wouldn't recommend either. Unity is just too macfaggy, and Kubuntu is full of bugs and shitty
Edubuntu.
I like the games; they make me feel smart.
>>59726997
what are the issues with Unity? not defending just curious. Heard it's gotten a bit better but there are so many shills on /g/ its hard to tell

>>59732129
When is LXQT coming out? Been hearing a lot of hype, starting to sound like vapourware at this point
>>59727554
You mean "Arch Linux". As far as I know, the Debian team are the only ones who include "GNU/Linux" as part of the distro name.
>>59735405
I already have LXQT installed on my laptop. Honestly it's nothing special. It's literally just LXDE with QT compiled binaries.
>>59735564
Oh ok, is there anything that makes it stand out from the others?
>>59735650
Not really (although I've only been using it for less than 24 hours).
>>59726936
Ubuntu Budgie
>>59735698
Budgie or Solus?
>>59735693
standard linux innovation then
>>59730121
Xfce with deskbar uses horizontal space which you have too much of on modern screens. Horizontal bars are retarded in most cases.
>>59726936
Why is Kubuntu still a thing?
KDE Neon is way better.
>>59726994
/thread
>>59726936
install gentoo you fucking retard
>>59736654
never install gentoo, it's a pile of shit
>>59736106
This. I believe the main difference is KDE Neon getting KDE updates sooner (by default) while Kubuntu has some pre-installed software and is a ready to go system.
