I get like tearing issues with kde, cinnamon, and anything else that
composites. I also run a full linux desktop across 3x 4k monitors at
11520x2160 resolution, which I think most compositors crap themselves at.
I hate compositing, as no one does it adequately under linux, but some do

I can think of one right now. Plug in a usb storage device and the
little usb icon appears at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and
get the option to open in the file manager. I get a malformed url
error. There are other ways to access the device.

I ran debian for a bit for my work laptop, but found that even though close
to ubuntu, there was greatly decreased compatibility with anything like
drivers or dpkg compatibility. Everything 3rd party dpkg just ass-u-me's

On the other hand, I've gained some decent security by obscurity from

I use this machine for my music and video collection. I also do some
occasional video editing. Kdenlive is good enough for that. Also I do
the usual stuff- web surfing, email, etc. I also have a samba server on

To break that down, how computer savvy is the user. I agree mint is great
for the not so savvy. Even for the savvy that don't want complicated.
But if you want a server and being able to do lots of stuff, my choice is
centos.

Jim, how much memory do you have?
You could always create some virtual machines to try some different distros.

Excellent Steve,
Jim needs to make a list of what he does and uses on his Linux box. I used
to upgrade on every release of Red hat by doing a fresh install, but every
six months was a lot of work. Now I use Centos because of long term support
and the fact it has so many things I can do with it.

I've been using Kubuntu for 5 years now since I freed my computer from
windows and started running linux. For most of that time I used Kubuntu
14. I tried 16, but soon gave up on it because there were too many
bugs. In July I put Kubuntu 18 on this machine. There are some annoying
