After trying Manjaro and finding the rolling release to cause buggy issues, I installed Ubuntu and it's worked flawlessly. I do wish they would build a theme around Gnome but it is easy enough to install others. The LTS cycle is nice for those of us who want a system that is more stable than a rolling without reinstalling or upgrading every 6 months.

I was looking for something small to put on a second hand thinkpad x240 I just bought and this looked ideal to fit on the 16 GB m.2 SSD it contains.
Obviously the side bar positioning is total anathema to most people, but luckily it is easily changed to a more familiar top or bottom position. I love the uncluttered feel of it and the lightning quick response.
As a reformed 'distroholic' this is easily the fastest ever install and as an IT tech who regularly gets asked to pump some life into ancient hardware, this is going to be my go to choice now for sure.
In fact I'm looking at an old Dell now that's going to get treated :)

What can one say.. Those who have tried TrueOs, know how cutting edge it is, well all that has been worked on,with Trueos, has been been improved with Trident. Lumina is really taking shape.Fast, lean in resources yet visually beautiful. Unlike other BSD's really easy to setup, today I discovered even my ext4 partitions are picked up by Trident. No other BSD could do that by default, I just mounted the drive, & bingo there in front of me where all the partitions & files.WOW... As for software, App Cafe has most of the binary pkgs you need to install. Just one thing needs to be added & that's Tor Browser.. With that, you Developers, know who has given you this review.. That's why you have only received a 9/10.. Otherwise keep up the Gr8 work.. This will be a fantastic Os. Certainly will be the number one, BSD.

Installer could be easier, more new user / noob friendly. Runs very light and quick on my old laptop and most things anyone / average user could want is included on the iso - it is quite a large iso so a decent connection speed would be beneficial to download. Otherwise it has been stable and looks good.

Very nice light, simple, well thought-out distro.
PROS:
This would be a great bridge between the windows world and GNU/Linux. Things like recycle bin, This PC, and Control Panel make it easy for Windows users to find what they need. XFCE, is light and snappy. Comes set up pretty well out of the box, I only pinned some programs to the panel, and modified the panel a bit to feel like other xfce distros I had set up before.
CONS:
Honestly have run into 0 issues so far running in vmware workstation. Probably would be even slicker on hardware. Very minimal bloat, if you can even call having gimp and libreoffice bloat.
Wish I would have found this as my first distro, wouldve been less painful than centos.
GREAT JOB!

NixOS is an acquired taste, as at first I found it a enormous pain in my rear, but after a while of using it, it grew on me. According to Repology its unstable repo is second only to Arch's AUR for size, although there are definitely some missing packages, including some I've tried to get added to their repo, with the help of their very helpful community. NixOS's main weaknesses are related to its FHS-noncompliance, e.g.:
* Python packages often have file collisions and sometimes simply do not work like they're meant to. For example, setting up Matplotlib to be used by SageMath and Julia has been a challenge I have not managed to overcome. I've tried using: nix-shell -p gobjectIntrospection gtk3 '(python27.buildEnv.override { extraLibs = with python27Packages; [ matplotlib pygobject3 ]; ignoreCollisions = true; })' and running sage in said shell, but still Matplotlib will not work.
* The C/C++ extension of VSCode will not work under it, due to its FHS-noncompliance. I have tried editing its settings json and setting up symlinks between gcc and clang binaries to their usual FHS-compliant locations (e.g. in /usr/bin) and neither has worked.
both I have asked for help in the #nixos IRC channel, with a solution in sight. Other than that its reproducible builds, the ability to revert updates, its functional approach to configuration and package management, its helpful community, great documentation, etc. are all great strong points.

Last weekend I replaced Slackware 14.2 with Void because slackware 14.2 is getting too old for my needs and KDE plasma (Alienbob pkgs) are not supported for the stable version of Slackware.
Therefore I needed something similar (without systemd), but fast and over my control. After one week of searches and testing I stay with artix, redcore and void.
I tried with artix but some problems with the installation made me desist. Then I tried redcore and everything went smooth but how it is a gentoo fork most of the software must be compiled and of course it consumes a lot of time. I like to customize my linux distros, for instance I prefer refind instead of grub. This little change in redcore brokes the system so finally I move to Void.
Void is great, very customizable with few issues in my experience (I use the latest KDE plasma). One thing that I am facing now is the lack of software to be installed, but for the most users I think it is a distro for using daily day.

A fantastic out of the box experience. Setup up was a doddle and the impressive array of software available from the GUI, along with simple and intuitive navigation and general usage makes this the ultimate distro for beginners. I can't comment on the stability but it certainly had no problem handling the typical things that tend to trip up distros for me such as first boot, drivers and external peripherals. With Cinnamon overlaying the whole thing I had a comfortable productive environment in no time without a single obstacle.
The only reason I give it a 9 is because despite the phenomenally polished out of the box experience I found it slower to boot and get to a responsive desktop than other Distros I've tried. Perhaps that can be attributed to the slightly heavier overall package on offer and the use of Cinnamon. It's not deal breaking as such but this is all a personal journey after all and the beauty of Linux is knowing I can honestly recommend this to everyone of any ability yet sample other offerings myself.
I'm a tinkerer at heart but if I was forced on the spot to get something done and handed a wiped machine, I'd reach for Mint first. We have to appreciate what distros like this mean for raising awareness and providing a good first impression of Linux.

Installed CentOS with the MATE desktop. Got it configured mostly the way I wanted. But I could not install Wine or the Xiphos Bible. Bibletime yes but not Xiphos. Without those two, I simply can't use CentOS as a daily driver. Even in spite of its very efficient memory utilization at idle of about 450 MB, which is really amazing and even much better than most Ubuntu or Debian distros. Memory efficiency really surprised me! Perhaps the shortfalls mentioned will be overcome in a future release.

My personal opinion is that this is the best distro there is due to its size, compatibility and customizability. I would say that if you are new to Linux that it is best to start with a pre-configured OS as even though an Arch installation is relatively simple once you know what you are doing it may spit up a few errors along the way.

I love the OS but it was perhaps a step too far out of my comfort zone to make the leap from the Deb umbrella. Extremely simple to install, very quick to install and a great basic package. It also looks like the most polished distro I've seen.
I just had (surprisingly to me) some stability issues and a couple of very basic but essential features that I needed to allow me to settle. I couldn't get Citrix Workspace to run (needed to run work VDIs) and encountered hours of constant hurdles to trying and failing to get it (and the pre-reqs) installed.
I also had frustrating problems with my Logitech BT mouse. Every time the mouse went to sleep (about every 30 mins), the OS wouldn't respond to it being woken up. Then the BT config window would freeze up when I tried to check what was going on. This would eventually lead to all mouse buttons on my laptop also failing to respond and requiring a reboot. A new one for me on any OS.
So unfortunately I have to bin Manjaro for reasons very specific to myself. I will try 17.1.12 in a VM to see if I have any more luck and hope to revisit this properly later. It's beautiful but needs just a few more hand holding features to make it a Minty enough for beginners.

Project Trident is an off-shoot of TrueOS on the Desktop, and comes with the same look and feel - with Lumina still being the defacto Window Manager. A customised layer ontop of Fluxbox giving an familiar yet unfamiliar feel to your computing experience.
It's a fast and reactive OS, and comes with Virtualbox Guest Additions pre-loaded when you install it that way, and the latest drivers for you graphics card if you choose to go the bare metal way.
It attempts to be something different in an arena of competing OS's and pulls it off with style.
Pros: FreeBSD heritage - stability, performance and power on your desktop.

Great spin of Ubuntu. I'm normally a Debian user but I keep another install with Ubuntu for gaming on Steam.
Budgie is really nice, it is kind of halfway between XFCE and Gnome. There is definitely less bloat than stock Gnome and most of the software can be removed without removing Budgie, unlike Gnome where every freakin' package seems to be a dependency of Gnome.
Unlike other DE, the default theme actually looks great. The panel can be configured to your liking. I personally removed Plank and only kept a more traditional bottom panel with icon launchers and task list.
I've chosen a minimal install : it basically consists of Budgie + Chromium + Tilix and not much more (which is great). After removing unnecessary packages like gnome-software, the idle memory is around 900Mb in my case, so midweight I would say. Still a bit too heavy with applets that can't be removed (only reason I'm giving a 9).
Overall great distro, would recommend.

10 years using Linux, distro hopping from time to time just to find myself back to openSUSE.
Pro:
Zypper is a great, modern package manager. Its syntax is well designed.
Lots of official package, and even more of community package.
yast is godsend. I can get away spending time learning lots of advanced stuff that I don't use everyday. And all configs it generated are sane.
KDE Plasma is well polished, even more than KDE Neon.
Very stable rolling distro. Unlike Arch, rolling updates are no on bleeding edge. Packages are reasonably tested. In 6 years, never once I had broken things as direct result from snapshot update.
Good community. openSUSE is one of rare distro community that is not populated by toxic, elitist community.
Con:
Package decision is leaning to completeness by default. Instead of providing full features by default, I think there should be an option enabled by default to ask and offer extra feature.

Tough to know where to start with this review, but Endless OS does seem an appropriate name for something that takes virtually forever to download at a grotesque IMG size of 16.2 GB.
This massively bloated distro is one of the most difficult to classify that I've come across in 12 plus years with Linux on the desktop. It's buggy in ways it shouldn't be, difficult to get a handle on to say the least, and has little if any relationship to traditional desktop computing environments as we've come to know and appreciate their many options and extreme flexibility over the years.
Endless OS developers are testing the often failed tactic of making their desktop OS look and feel like some sort of smartphone, something they obviously hope masses of people will gravitate to. If it didn't happen with Windows and its failed Metro desktop, nor with Ubuntu's now abandoned Unity DE, or with other lesser attempts to 'dumb down' the the desktop while severely limiting its options and flexibility, there's little hope this latest attempt with Endless OS will succeed where all the rest have failed.
Not that I wish to see Endless OS fail, only that I hope, like Ubuntu did with Unity and Windows did with Metro, that the developers take a step back and review in the cold light of reality how realistic their attempts to create a terribly bloated distro with a desktop environment virtually no one wants or needs actually are. Nor do I think suggesting such a move on the part of Endless OS will make any immediate difference in their approach. Once you start down a path it's tough to stop and reevaluate the direction you're heading. Ubuntu took years before laying Unity to rest, and I expect Endless OS will pursue much the same course, if on a lesser scale.

I've been a Linux Mint user for 2 or 3 years (I'm getting older and my memory is not so good!). It's my first Linux distro, so I cannot compare to other versions of Linux but I can certainly say that it blows the socks off of Windows! :-)
I installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon on my primary home desktop PC, a 2014ish vintage Dell XPS 8700, a couple of years ago after a hard disk crash. It took me a couple of tries to figure out the partitioning but it's been rock solid ever since.
I have also installed Linux Mint (xfce) on my wife's 10+ year old laptop. After years of endless problems with the OEM Windows XP install, it is now a breeze to support the machine. For a friend who wanted a low-cost guest computer, I picked up a second-hand SFF desktop, added an SSD and USB 3 card and installed Linux Mint 19.1 (xfce).
What continues to astound me is how easy-to-use and problem free Linux Mint it is. I have yet to run into a problem that was not of my own making and have always managed to find any applications that I needed. Most recently I discovered Heimdall and ADP tools for customizing Android phones. Totally cool.
I am not a coder or true hacker but rather a fairly advanced user (prosumer?) - a retired software tech manager, with broad exposure to a variety of operating systems and applications but fairly limited hands-on experience [those who can't do manage?] Nonetheless, I have found Linux Mint installation and administration to be very straightforward and easy to use. Both the xfce and Cinnamon desktops are very clean, aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. The built in application set and those available via the Software Manager and other installation tools have enabled me to do anything I've wanted to. And, finally, the performance and stability are excellent. The only reason I'm giving it a 9/10 is that I haven't compared to any other Linux distros, so I want to leave room for improvement ! :-)

Mint 19.1 Tessa is exponentially better than Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. In the same hardware, there is a hell and a heaven of speed difference. Mint developers decide very wisely and it shows. Instead of going along with the flow of Ubuntu and supporting snaps, Mint went with Flatpak support instead and this is a boon. Finding flatpaks is very easy through the software center. Apps open very quickly, even on old hardware and system resource usage is quite low, although it does not match the KDE Plasma 5 level of low resource usage. Cinnamon does not do a lot of things but the things it does, it makes sure it does them very well. Mint is a benchmark of stability and reliability in the world of linux. It is a very dependable distribution for all my mission critical tasks. I might use Arch in my secondary spare machine when I feel adventurous, but whenever I have to get some work done, when my work is more important than system maintenance and thinking about the distribution, I look no more than Mint. It is the only distribution that I rely on. There have been many distros out there which are based upon "one man's vision" and suddenly the one man goes away and the distro becomes orphaned. I avoid using such distros and stick to the ones which are meant to last. Mint is one of them. It is not just another distro with a theme slapped in. It has the best hardware compatibility that I have seen in Linux.

I left Debian for Devuan about 3-4 months ago when I learned how deep the cancer was spread within the systemd init.
Install was easy and typical. Booting from a flash drive and a simple graphical install was made without problem. Experienced a minor initial issue with my Broadcom wireless card that was remedied by the download and install of some alternative drivers. A good amount of customization of the xfce DE was done after that. This setup currently runs faster, lighter, and behaves nearly the same as my Ubuntu + i3wm setup I used for a couple years. I cannot think of any "quirks", small or large, that I have to deal within this distro.
I will likely be settled on Devuan for the rest of the time the project will be around.
I will be making a monetary contribution in the near-future. Other anti-systemd Devuan users should consider doing so as well.

KDE is my preferred DE and even with many good KDE distros like Neon, Netrunner was a better experience. The dark theme and customized icons are amazing and the overall feel of the distro is very satisfying. Many options to customize and the installed apps were excellent. Updating was easy and having both the update manager and Synaptic was a good choice. Im using 500mb at the GUI which is a good as other KDE distros so older hardware runs just fine.
No issues with wifi or printer as the distro spotted them easily. Added the additional Debian repos and had a wide range of apps to chose from.
Anyone from novice to expert will enjoy this distro and i hope you will give it a try.

1) The notebook boots in about a minute, the surfing goes well.
2) The OS is only partially russified. For example, the items Social Accounts and Help in the start menu are in English whereas the remaining four are in Russian. It's amazing!
3) I've failed to install a LaTeX typesetting system. The TEXSTUDIO text editor from the App Center includes no LaTeX compiler.

Excellent distro that installed like a breeze and no issues with wifi or printer as they were auto detected. The variety of apps was excellent and wasnt expecting to see so many excellent apps included. The new dark theme I really enjoyed and the additional features and ability to customize it further was a great choice. Resource usage is excellent at 449mb which surprised me and even at initial install it was 589mbs. Didnt have to add many apps, Chromium and K3b and thats it.
LibreOffice is included and multimedia codecs were fine. Firefox and Thunderbird are installed by default.
I enabled the Debian backports but thats it and updating with either the update manager or Synaptic worked fine. I like the fact that they allow you to update with Synaptic versus what Mint does.
19.01 is far better and more stable than 18.03 and after multimedia testing things wemt fine.
Very impressed with this distro and looking forward to using it daily.
Please give it a try and Ive installed it so far on a Dell 7010 SFF, Dell E6400 laptop and a Dell E6420 laptops with no issues. I use Comcast and had no issues with the gateway using wifi and wired connection.
The only drawback is the iso is 2.7gb so if you have a slow connection its going to take you awhil.
Please give it a try, you wont be disappointed!

I am a big fan of this distro.
I keep bouncing back between this and Kubuntu for a daily driver. Can't fully pick a side between the customizability of KDE and the simplicity of Pantheon.
Keep up the great work!

No a single problem during installation and after. The only only small oddity was the gray icon set but it was changed very easy.
