As usual the creator of this Distro has paid close to attention to the detials and has created an elegant implementation of xubuntu. I have use this distro on and off for a long time. When I hit a problem in other distros this is my go to because I know everything will work.

LM 19 Cinnamon.
I have been using LM 17 and 18 without issues. However, LM 19 does not run good in my laptop (i7, 16Gb, SSD).
Once Nvidia driver is running, the DE by itself makes my laptop runs hot and drains the battery faster than normal. Moreover, moving windows, scroll down the menus, and other common tasks feel heavy and laggy. Maybe a 4 cores intel @3.2GHz processor is not good enough for Cinnamon 3.8.
I did try to clean it up by killing background apps and removing preinstalled trash but I could not find the problem.
I wish LM team focused on the performance.
KDE 5 and XFCE run faster than Cinnamon 3.8 and Mate 1.20 (gtk3 problem?). I do not understand why dev team dropped KDE instead of Cinnamon.

In limited use, I find it one of the best, easy to use distros, in what is a rather small collection.
I would be using it full time, except for one thing: they put their superb collection of helper scripts in /usr/local. I have my own large collection of (perhaps not-so-superb) admin scripts which I keep there as well, and I would prefer not to mix them.
In the past, /usr/local was supposed to be reserved for the local installation. Now I know there is presently a geek slap fight going on as to whether that should matter. which I choose to remain silent on.
I'd be happier if MX would either integrate their scripts into /usr (which they probably don't want to do for the same reason), or maybe move them to /opt, although I realize there is likely no best solution.
/usr/distro, maybe? Don't like that either.
Anyway, MX is one of the best distros around right now.

A decent distro that deserves some more likes.
I found this distro after testing Mageia and ROSA, and found that OpenMandriva has what i wanted. For one this has more recent versions of applications, and works with Netflix using firefox out-of-the box, no need to install other browsers just for this purpose.
The Welcome screen is also a good additions, with helpful startup applications like codecs, and useful links.
Some quirks already states is that since this is a fixed release, the iso is quite dated and updates will take a long while.
I use openmandriva for daily use for about a week now, usage includes manually compiling applications and some development stuff. It not hard to find dependencies from urpmi or rpmdrake.
I recommend this even for new users and those who wants to continue what mandrake started...

I've tested a lot of Linux distros the past few weeks and I have to admit Linux Mint 19 is almost the best.
Easy to use, very good hardware compatibilty (no problem with wifi driver on old Laptops), pretty nice and clear, efficient.
Latest CrossOver version works perfect on it and the store is really exhaustive.
LM19 will be my daily OS on my new laptop.

The promised 'for users with weak internet-connection' simply is a scheduled update-process. Instead of developing a whole 'Endless' eco-system publish the scheduler! There should be kept an eye on the 'companion-app', with which you possibly open your system to non-welcome visitors.

Cons - not a real problem: I had to install additional software (12.04 core) and get a good mirror in my country to deal with my net connection. Note: Brasero for audio CDs does not work on ubuntu, mint and on other ubuntu derivatives but it works great on Zorin 12.4 Core. Many Kudos for the developers.

Long time Mint user, I have tried reluctantly Manjaro and wow. Not to say Mint is bad or anything. It is just different.
Love it. Very responsive and behaves the way I think all distros should.
0 lag and depending on your DE flavor the smallest possible idle memory usage. Well,if you don't count Gnome which with 16 Gb of RAM is still lagging but that is a different story :)
Love the package management and the fact that you could virtually install (at your own risk) anything.
The learning curve is not too steep as far as the commands go but there is a huge community and the documentation is abundant.
Downside MAY be that if you're a newbie and aiming to become certified in Linux administration you are better off with the mainstream distros, Ubuntu, Fedora,Debian. But for whoever is looking for a OS/distro replacement for what you are using currently... go for it, it is really good.User-friendly and fast.
PROS: Fast. user friendly,rolling release
CONS: Bit of a learning curve

I've been using Linux Lite for a while now (version 3.2 on a pc). Last week, I installed it on my mom's laptop and I tried version 4.0 on mine. Problems occured on both laptops when I wanted to install private internet access vpn and it would not install because it could not find libappindicator1...
I've been a linux user for many years now and I always find a way to make things work but it did give me a headache that I had to waste my time on this. I'm sure they is a way to make it available in the repo. 2 weeks ago I installed Peppermint 9 on another pc and it all worked right away.
But hey, beside that, I love Lite, it's super user friendly and it's the distro I install on people's pc when I'm converting them to Linux!! :D

I was on debian stable for a long time. Exceptional but I always wished a few of my packages were newer.
So I decided to try unstable. It's been as solid as stable for weeks. All the new packages and a rolling release model, so I never have to reinstall.
It doesn't have snapshots like opensuse tumbleweed, but if you install apt-listbugs, before any update it will let you know if there are any possible nasty bugs with each package, so you can choose if you want to install or hold off until a correction arrives, which could take just a few days usually. It's a good form of prevention that makes snapshots uneeded if you take the necessary precautions.
Recommended!! But you should know a bit of linux beforehand. Learn with ubuntu, experiment with debian stable, live with debian unstable.

The only top-ten distro in Nov 2017 which installed out-of the-box on my cheap new TREKSTOR Primebook P14 with UEFI Bios. Other major distros didn't boot on this Apollo-Lake-based hardware. Also supports the fairly new touch pad of this hardware.
I love the elegant yet easy-to-use Budgie desktop.
So far, I could install anything I wanted from software center or command line (eopkg).
I'm impressed by the concepts behind the rolling update and dependency management (as far as explained in their blog).
Recently, I was a bit worried since there was no new blog entry for several months. However, now there is activity again.

Pros / Easy to use and everything is organized neatly.
Does not use a lot of resources to run it I'm on a 2009 ASPIRE 5735-6211 LAPTOP.
Cons...I wish they would include a USB burning app (image writer and formatter.) like MX Linux, Linux Mint, Peppermint , and others do.

KXStudio is the best GNU/Linux pro audio set-up I've used. After struggling to get set-up Ardour, JACK, etc running smoothly on a more general purpose distro, I decided just to install KXStudio on a separate partition. Everything worked perfectly out of the box. I cannot recommend it enough.
It comes with such a wealth of audio software that there are still plenty of synths and plug-ins I probably have yet to discover. Highly recommended!!

Great distro! I recently switched from Windows and played with many distros in VirtualBox until I came across Pop!_OS 18.04 LTS. I'm running a Dell XPS 9570 so handling NVidia drivers out of the box was crucial for me. I have had zero issues with stability and highly recommend this OS to anyone that wants an easy out-of-the-box Linux experience. After I installed the OS, I even swapped out the default Killer WiFi card with an Intel AC 9260 and had no driver issues.
System76 has done an outstanding job with this OS and this contains many useful features like Power Management (High Performance, Balance, or Battery Life) as well as a graphical way to switch between graphics cards. It does run a bit high on resource consumption so I would only recommend this for newer, beefier hardware. All in all, this will be my daily driver for the foreseeable future.
