Which Ubuntu flavor is the best?
Ubuntu comes in a number of different flavors, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Which one is best for you? A writer at Linux.com recently delved into the various flavors of Ubuntu and considered what they had to offer.
Jack Wallen reports for Linux.com:
Ubuntu Linux comes in a few officially recognized flavors, as well as several derivative distributions. The recognized flavors are:
Kubuntu - Ubuntu with the KDE desktop
Lubuntu - Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop
Mythbuntu - Ubuntu MythTV
Ubuntu Budgie - Ubuntu with the Budgie desktop
Xubuntu - Ubuntu with Xfce
I thought it might be a good idea to help newer users decide which flavor is best for them. After all, choosing the wrong distribution out of the starting gate can make for a less-than-ideal experience.
And so, if you’re considering a flavor of Ubuntu, and you want your experience to be as painless as possible, read on.
