I am trying a lot of distributions for fun. Sometimes i fall in love with at the first moment of trying. This is one of these. A persistent live thumbdrive to use on different computers! That's a great challange. For me it works on two different of my Laptops. There were no problems for me to choose the right Keyboard typ. I choose one these for HP and Fujitsu Laptops and its worked for me. The 9 points I'am giving to this project are too much becauce of the many blobs and inskills. But I want to motivate the Team to go on furthrer - this project is grounded on a great idea!
Pros:
- nice Desktop
- its Freebsd
- a persistent thumbdrive for daily use
Cons:
- many inskills and blobs
- running slowly on my Laptops
sorry about my bad english

Runs fine and love the interface. A problem for me is the ability to change the keyboard settings. I had to go through hoops to figure this out. Got a break after using other Openbox systems that had lxkeypad pre-installed. I use Linux for USB and don't always have internet access. Consequently, having to connect to the internet to install lxkeymap in order to use my laptop is a major deal breaker.
It is difficult to understand that something so simple is omitted but yet still all the work is put in to the pretty stuff! Doesn't matter how pretty. Can't use it.
The distro needs to come with a pre-installed keyboard manager out of the box.
Shame I have to put it aside.

I have used openSUSE on and off for years. I am SUSE certified too.... YET...
Always broken. This version, too. I used to work for an OEM and used to deal with SUSE installers all the time as mostly things like sound would not work etc. People say it has MINOR issues, and I agree. SUSE/ Gecko needs a papercuts update.
little things....
1. brand new install the dual boot with windows 7 was not there, OK, I can fix that!
(have you read SUSE documentation?) After 2 hours I could not fix it.
I found Arch and other documentation and fixed it.(I come from grub days not Grub2)
2. brand new install did and update - now systemd-networkd is missing? OK I can fix that!
(man nmcli - bash: man: command not found - what the actual f?......)
3. Whisker menu icon missing after update - huh? Really? Can't you keep your needed stuff in one place?
4. Install git - oh million messages how it is going to break OpenSUSE? ... smh
UGH. I am not young any more and its nice when things 'just work'.
I cannot recommend that you use it as a daily driver UNLESS you are willing to faff for hours.

Ubuntu still is the best all-round Linux distro. Full stop. Its stability, vast repositories and easiness to install makes Ubuntu, rightly so, the groundwork for some of the most decent distros, like Linux Mint, Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Pop_OS, etc.
Apart from that, Ubuntu has a vibrant community and corporate backing; it's been tremendous to see how quickly the community has been able to refurbish the Unity experience using GNOME, and to help the GNOME community in adding features and performance to GNOME.
Not really cons, but I would like Ubuntu to make a choice to either go with Snaps or with Flatpaks. As far as design and theming is concerned, try to converge with Adwaita. Ubuntu 19.04, however, is beautiful as it is. Maybe a light theme (like the former Radiance) could be based on Adwaita?

For the last 3 years, I have been a regular distro hopper until I installed Voyager 18.04 LTS 2 months ago, No need to try other disttributions feel confortable using this great distribution.
The only worry is the direction the developers took going wliht GNOME. If this distro phase out Xubuntu as base distro then I will start looking again.

I'm so glad I found MX. I've been distro hopping since 2012 but I've finally found what I'm looking for in MX. No hardware issues, no weird UI choices that put a hitch in my workflow (except that vertical taskbar which I changed to horizontal in about three clicks,) and nice helpful knowledgeable folks om the forum means I'm not screwing around trying to make my system work.

My most interest in searching for linux distrubutions is finding distros that are non-technical-user-friendly. Like a grandmother. That I could switch from using Windows. That said I found Manjaro well overrated... Starting from the download page, which do not simply shows freaking one big "Download" button, and the installer which shows you list of some weird options on the first screen, that you don't really know what to do with, and ending on software customization and installation.
Im an IT guy. A senior technial IT admin. But still can judge things from the unexperienced user perspective, and from that point of view, Manjaro is an NO GO.
It doesn't really matter if you have a big community support, or every single software package available. Casual users doesnt really care about it. Things you need to have is an easy to install, easy to operate, stable system with good UI. Otherwise you wont convince anyone to drop Windows OSes.
While tinkering with Manjaro I was attacked by way to many warnings, alerts and app crashes that I'd like to, that would make linux wannabe panic. First step I took is to install Chromium browser - took me a while to find the search button in the add/remove software applet. Then it thrown some uneccessary warnings about dependencies which I do not really care about. I just wanted to install chromium, I don't care that there are some dependencies needed... just shut up and install them.
Anyway, my voyage to find easy to use, learn and adopt Linux stopped at Mint 19.1, and so far Manjaro doesnt seem to be even close to that.

10 or 9, my rating is 9.5 (Budgie).
Fixed some minor bugs with 4, everything is fast and stable, beautiful and elegant. The new Plata style, noir especially, is great (I would like a wider selection of icons, but it's a detail).
Really nice to use, if they keep this way and improve the software center (increasing the number of programs available for example), translating everything for the selected language (some small part is missing, however minor stuff, especially if you understand english) , their destiny is to become one of the best distro out there.
My daily distro certainly..

Xfce 19.04
Kernel 5.0.0.13-generic
Pros:
Good installer: colourful, easy to read, sees partition labels. Can be installed to UEFI/EFI,, MBR and / paritions.
Desktop does not lock up when screensaver activates. ~20 minutes to install. Has 1X and 2x display scaling for 4k monitors.
Spinner Plymouth splash screen. Colourful wallpaper (blue, orange, white).
Cons:
5.0 kernel is slow and sluggish.
Major security flaw: all hard disks can be accessed without passwords, giving full access to all user files.
Systemd. (Usual “print-req-error, sector xxxxxxxxx,” “Can’t rotate logs,” read, write I/O errors, etc.)
If you desire to use Synaptic Package Manager you will need to manually install it.
Does not have Black Mate theme installed by default. If anyone should have been able to port BlackMate to Xfce it should have been Ubuntu. Install “mate-themes”.
If you clear browser History and Cache before closing, it may lock up the system, causing systemd errors.
Quick Launcher is no longer supported, and opening Properties and hitting the “+” button will lock up the system, necessitating a shutdown because the system bar disappears, right clicking the desktop does not allow a terminal window to be opened. Depressing the power button for one second will initiate a soft shutdown, but then gives systemd errors, necessitating a hard shutdown (power button depressed for over 5 seconds).
No search function in the Software installer app.
If one sticks to the default theme, icons, fonts, mouse pointers, etc., it may work as intended, although it may still be sluggish due to the 5.0 kernel. But if you are the type who modifies their desktop so that it looks most pleasing to you, it may cause instabilities and irregularities (like over sized shutdown menu icons, white text in white text box, etc.)

KDE is my favorite desktop and Kubuntu has the most stable version with the largest selection of apps that I have found. The latest version installed flawlessly and is running great. I always move the KDE bar to the top and add Latte Dock to the bottom for easy access to all my apps. The memory usage with multiple apps open (which includes Google Chrome) is only 2.4gb.

Tried Kubuntu 19.04 whilst still in Beta other day on main tower and login manager screen was flickering terrible... White background and light blueish fonts barely visible... then full black background.. then back to normal, then flickered to white background again, and then black.. and rinse and repeat. I always hated KDE for those buggy reasons... there's always various different buggy things going on with it. Plus it's bloated / heavy anyway.. They (devs) should just scrap KDE all together and forget it. I don't think any of the devs know how to code and fix bugs. KDE5 on various distros and even FreeBSD all did it. I'm back on Windows 7 again... cause it works, and I can install whatever browser I want to use in it without being restricted or without having to build browsers myself.
