@GodHatesMe I agree regarding eOS. I used it twice for over 6 months each and the file browser as well as some other parts are buggy as hell.
Get OpenSuse or Fedora, I had good experiences with both. I even use the rolling-release OpenSuse Tumbleweed on my laptop for half a year now and it works like a charm. eOS would be half-broken after that period. -
athlon172467y@GodHatesMe @deadlyRants alright - grabbing openSUSE.
I’ve been using Ubuntu 16.04 and there were always some cons for me, but I loved Elementary OS 0.4... But gotta try something else -
@GodHatesMe I had used it a lot and found it to be the most stable and bug-free (unless I'm using multiple screens).
What's wrong with it in your experience? -
Anyway I'd go for Ubuntu 17.10 now. 16.04 is kinda old.
As for people saying to use other distributions:
I have found it very nice to work with pretty much any distribution, and they are mostly more stable than Ubuntu. Except they all have a big flaw:
3rd party software is almost always packaged for Ubuntu, and not all the time for other package managers. You could compile from source, but often it's just dependency hell and hours wasted. -
Basically any distro will do since it's linux and you can do whatever the fuck you want.
So, Ubuntu 17.10 or Elementary OS 0.4.1?
