I still haven’t decided which I like the most, however I really like the look and feel on Ubuntu with Unity. I know people give it shit but I just enjoy the look of it. As for second I’m probably a Mint Cinnamon guy, Why? Because it runs well, really well and it looks nice enough, Following that I like Debian 8 with Gnome however it feels very bulky and basic and doesnt perform like I would like it to on slightly older hardware
I use Lubuntu on my laptop, LXDE+Ubuntu, it very light and run well on almost any computer/laptop that i had.
It simple to customize the look and feel of the menu bar. i start most of my application with shortcut but when i’m not, the menu feel like on windows…
Xubuntu Xfce+ubuntu is not bad too
I cannot stand the unity interfase
I’ve learn linux with a fork of Arch linux, a homemade dsitro that my teacher made a few year ago. Everything was more complicate than on debian distro, and that why i stick with debian distro now even for server.
