Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Disappointed with Ubuntu (GNOME is heavy as a boulder for a 10-year-old PC), I installed Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. I must say that it is light and easy to use with my computer, without overheating or slowing down. Only the choice of wallpaper (which can be changed with 2 mouse clicks) is open to criticism. Plasma 5 guarantees the stability I am looking for the next 3 years. On first start-up, I only had to give a 'snap refresh' to get a quick update of all containerised applications. For the first time, I can judge Kubuntu as 'excellent'.

 hello, linux user for years, I searched, installed and tested many distros, especially to "resurrect" old PCs and laptops, trying to solve the triangle "technical characteristics of the machine" - "ergonomics" - "performance / maintenance of the distro" as best as possible. In its MX-23.3_386 version, MX has established itself as the best choice to make an old HP mini from 2011 equipped with an Intel Atom N570 processor with only 1GB of ram usable again, without having a nervous breakdown!
So, yes, MX linux deserves this score of 10.
Bravo and thank you to their teams!

 After having a disaster with Open Suse that installed but did not boot unless I had my USB pen drive in my laptop I nearly gave up on Linux, But after a nights sleep I had the idea to download Ubuntu.

After reading about the different versions of Ubuntu I decided to download Kubuntu and flash my drive with Ballam Etcher that I found easy.

Installation was easy as the onscreen prompts were a breeze for the install.

I love the KDE desktop I find it better than Gnome in fact it remind me of Windows XP Windows 7 desktop its easy to use and the layout of everything is so nice.

I was worried that my games on Steam wont work but with a bit of Magic from proton on Steam my games worked a treat.

I am starting to use this more than my original Windows 11 set up if all my games work on this I will make my laptop a full Kubuntu laptop.

I am only a casual user of Linux I now some sudo commands but with the internet Linux is becoming easier to use, I would recommend this distro to anyone who wants to dip their toes into Linux.

I am running this on an Acer Aspire 5 with intel core i5 8GB ram with no problems
