Kubuntu

Also a good fit

Your desktop, arranged your way.

Personalisation · Everyday use

A familiar layout with more ways to personalise it.

Why choose Kubuntu?

Combines the Ubuntu LTS base with KDE Plasma: a familiar desktop layout and extensive options for appearance and workflow.

Kubuntu LTS — KDE Plasma

Pop!_OS

Also a good fit

A different way to organise your workspace.

Development · General use

Another desktop workflow for general use.

Why choose Pop!_OS?

An alternative desktop workflow for customers who prefer Pop!_OS. We check the chosen installation against the machine’s graphics hardware.

Pop!_OS — COSMIC

Fedora

A clean desktop built around an activities overview, search and workspaces. A strong option for programming and a focused workflow.

Programming · GNOME workflow

A usable alternative if its desktop and applications suit your workflow.

Why choose Fedora Workstation — GNOME?

Fedora Workstation uses GNOME. Its overview brings applications and workspaces together, rather than using a conventional desktop taskbar by default. Choose it if you like a streamlined interface. Fedora requires more frequent major-version upgrades than an LTS distribution.

Ubuntu Studio

Turn your ideas into pictures, films and sound.

Photography · Video · Audio

A usable alternative if its desktop and applications suit your workflow.

Why choose Ubuntu Studio?

A creative-focused Ubuntu flavour with KDE Plasma and tools for selected creative workflows. Best suited to customers who intend to create and edit regularly.

Ubuntu Studio LTS — KDE Plasma

Lubuntu

Keep the desktop light and simple.

Lighter desktop · Basic computing

A usable alternative if its desktop and applications suit your workflow.

Why choose Lubuntu?

The LXQt desktop is a useful option on lower-spec computers. Web browsers and demanding applications still need adequate RAM and processing power.

Lubuntu LTS — LXQt

Debian

A dependable desktop with a conservative approach to software updates. A good fit for everyday work and development alongside Debian servers.

Stability · Everyday work · Server development

Capable for everyday work; its conservative updates suit some users better than others.

Why choose Debian?

Debian is a general-purpose operating system used on desktops and servers. Debian Stable keeps major software versions relatively consistent within a release, while providing security fixes and selected bug fixes. Choose it if you value fewer major software changes or want to work with the same Linux foundation as your Debian servers. Some applications may be older than those supplied by Fedora.

Debian Stable — GNOME

Stars are LinuxLounge’s editorial guide to suitability for the selected task, not an overall quality or performance score. Most systems can do several jobs well. Hardware, applications and your preferred desktop matter too.
