10 W10, 8.1 or Linux?
This version appears to be designed for a more streamlined experience, focusing on core functionality without Cortana or store features. Package management in Linux typically uses similar folder structures, allowing users to browse and manage files directly, though specific implementations may vary.
Refers to collections of related items or functions grouped together for easier use and management.
For customizability, I’d suggest Arch Linux. It offers extensive options for tailoring the system. Yes, it’s feasible to replace the default file manager with another like OpenBoxes—just ensure you have the necessary packages installed and follow the installation steps carefully.
Relies on the goals and extent of customization. I mainly make small UI adjustments, which differ from others' expectations. I've used Ubuntu and Mint previously, but prefer Fedora. Ubuntu's third-party app integration feels too strong for my preferences. The laptop I now use runs Fedora temporarily, but I didn't stick with it after trying Fedora. I'm not sure about its exact nature, though I enjoy it. For file managers, any available one works if it's built for your distribution, but I haven't needed to switch file managers much.
Thanks for your input! I’d like to clarify the differences between Ubuntu and Kubuntu. While both use GNOME and KDE as their default desktop environments, the main distinction lies in their themes—GNOME and KDE offer different visual styles. For customization, you can tailor everything from the login screen to fonts and icons. I agree with your thoughts about the clutter on Ubuntu; it’s one of the reasons I moved away from it. I’ll definitely explore Fedora next! Regarding Fedora, are there any aspects that don’t sit well? Also, a quick question for everyone: is it better to run a virtual machine on Linux or dual boot? This depends on how you plan to use your system. Thank you all for your feedback!
Imagine two oranges, one bright orange and another deep red. They share the same core inside but look different on the outside. I lean toward the Kbuntu desktop—it feels like a Linux twist on Windows 10. It makes sense to switch between them, since virtual machines limit your access to hardware.
Updates often need a restart, but it only happens when you ask. The kernel gets refreshed regularly, which is good. There are fewer apps for Fedora compared to Ubuntu, and some builds are needed to get things running smoothly, though it’s manageable. Make sure your CAD tools work with Fedora. I don’t rely on it every day, but it’s suitable for simple web browsing and experimenting with Linux. It runs a bit slow, but that’s mainly because of the hardware, not the OS or Fedora; still, it has enough power for basic mobile streaming.
