Linux will reach places in the year 2014. So, if you don't wish to miss the opportunity, get started today with any of these top five Linux distros for beginners.
Let’s take a look at the five best distros for beginners below -
1. Ubuntu 13.10 – This is the most popular one having a rigorous release cycle with more bleeding edge features implemented in each release. As Ubuntu is not equipped with a load of software and codecs pre installed like Linux Mint, users might face trouble playing certain media formats and require a few command line installations. Ubuntu comes equipped with its own user interface known as "unity".
2. Linux Mint 16- This is the second most popular Linux distribution as its user friendly. It comes equipped with tons of software. The distro functions quite well out of the box with no time trouble wasted in troubleshooting. Mint stresses on what is best for its users and offers what the mainstream linux users demand.
3. Zorin OS – This has been optimized for users who are switching from windows. It is very similar to Windows 7 and has "zorin look changer" which can make your desktop appear similar to older Windows versions and Mac OS X. Zorin OS also has four premium versions (Ultimate, Business, Multimedia, Gaming).
4. Peppermint OS 4 – This is a very light distro equipped with LXDE desktop envioronment. LXDE is quite simple to use and most people will find it to be a straightforward DE. The OS gets booted quite quickly making it ideal for older computers or netbooks.
5. Pinguy OS 12.04 LTS – This is an Ubuntu based distribution coming with a lot of preinstalled software. It is good for users who wish to find out more about the extensive software which Linux offers. It is quite convenient as it has almost all the software that a user might require.
Amongst the hundreds of Linux distros available in the market, there are just a few that cater to beginners. The factors that have been kept in mind while selecting the distros are out-of-the-box support, user friendly UI, easy installation and great online support. |  |
