@aweber thanks for your reply. I agree with you on that. Whenever you google something about a Linux-related issue you will find that the first search results are resolved under Ubuntu.
I think the different Distros can serve users from certain perspective according to users interests.
e.g. talking about the Ubuntu itself, there are: Kubuntu, Edubuntu, XUbuntu, UbuntuStudio, Mythubuntu, etc.
So, they are armed with the necessary tools to serve that perspective and users may select the one fitting their interests. Either to taste different desktop environment, for education purposes, or multimedia production, etc.
Although these are not different Distros but Ubuntu derivatives that are tailored to areas of interests, and one can even tailor Ubuntu itself so it accommodates all the derivatives under one OS. Well, this is the powerful aspect of Linux, Flexibility!
Derivatives are very useful for beginners to get them acquainted with the tools utilized in certain areas.
But talking about Distros, why would somebody prefer one Distro to another?
Well, I prefer to use Ubuntu for various reasons, some of them: popularity, many supported packages (.deb packages), ease of use, etc.
So,
Why would somebody prefer Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mint, etc. to another one?
Do users really need a feature that exists in a Distro but not in another?
I really would hear from those whose choice is a Distro other than Ubuntu!! |
