Technical issues......Had to switch to Ubuntu,

Do me a favour guys, those who'll put Ubuntu over any os provide me some motiv@tion..

Having to change the os, terrible thing for a begginner. 😕

Go for Mint, it is easier for beginniners :)

^yeah, use mint

Every OS is difficult if you never used it. That's the same for macos, Linux and windows.

@Prans, what distro are you switching from exactly? If you want something powerful and flexible, but don't want to go all the way to Arch, I'd suggest Manjaro.

@jjhiza I'm switching from windows 10
I'll check that out, thanks

Guess I'll have to install virtual box first....

Your future self will thank you, that's what mine did 😄. Also, use mint, it's based on Ubuntu but more friendly.

@Prans automation through little scripts (most times I use python)

Free choice for mostly everything

Open source everywhere

The ability to accomplish many things faster an without a gui

@J4s0n BTW I use Debian at the moment (started with it)

Mint isnt good, it is... Too... STatic, ubuntu is something good... Try using the terminal, then, wake sure to get some good games on linux... Steam works behter than on win

@linuxer4fun mint is a perfect starter linux, if ubuntu was my first id probably be using a mac today

@RazorSh4rk ok... That wou0d be another lost life :) butt hay: everyone his own starter os ;>)

@RazorSh4rk I started with debian. No issues till now ^^

Pretty stable or how many call it rock solid

I really used to love Mint Cinnamon, primarily because it was better than Ubuntu proper, but also because I didn't have the comfort level to use Arch on a daily basis. Manjaro KDE pried me away from Mint though. It's better in every respect, and I couldn't be happier. To be fair, Manjaro got me away from Arch proper as well, since it offers the power and control of Arch, without the hassle of constant package maintenance.

I'm comfortable with Arch, but I don't have the time or inclination to fix code on my personal computer... I just want it to work. In my opinion, Manjaro is the perfect long-term distro. It does just enough hand-holding to make new Linux users comfortable, and offers enough power and control for advanced users. Honestly, my next step after Manjaro, will likely be Gentoo or even rolling my own distro, based on Arch. I really can't stress enough, just how impressed I've been with my Manjaro experience.

/2cents

@linuxer4fun
You prefer Ubuntu because mint is to static?

That is One argument I never heard before

@Linux which qualifies it ta win ;~)

@jjhiza is it ok to run manjaro on Ubuntu via virtual box..

@Prans, I don't see why not. VM is a sandbox, so the Manjaro install shouldn't conflict with any of your Ubuntu stuff.
