Best Open Source Desktop Distribution

The best thing i like about mandriva is its customization and open source which has a lot to offer. I dislike that it is not as user friendly so you need to learn some linux commands if your going to use this OS. Try it out, it's worth it. I'm using it for my web server. It helps me get updates fast since it is one of the most stable Linux OSs around. I also love how easy it is to install applications as they are all in the repo. One thing I wish was easier is to find packages by name instead…

Pros
  • Free
  • There may come point where we want something specific but can't afford
  • Community support (not just forums)
  • Easy package installation
  • Many software options/sources.
  • Solid community base + many resources online+ good documentation
Cons
  • Empty

OpenMandriva is the best distribution I've ever used.

The best part of this distribution is that it is very easy to install and use. You can easily customize your system by adding new software to it. I also like the fact that it is based on the Debian Linux distribution, which is one of the most stable Linux distributions. I have used this distribution for a long time, and I have never had any problems. I have never had the need to uninstall it. I highly recommend this distribution. It is very stable and easy to use. It is compatible with all the…

One of my favorite ways doing software installations

I like that it's easy to install, you can easily add more applications from their repository or customize your own packages with RPMs (yum). The interface could be improved for new users but if they're familiar enough wth linux distributions this shouldn't pose any problem at all! It has many useful tools such as package manager yast2 which makes managing Linux systems very simple & intuitive even in novices hands unlike other distros where one needs experience before using them properly…

Pros
  • There are tons f great software available through YUM repositories...The ease o installation is what i love most about openmandrive..I have been running opensuse since 2006 when my old laptop broke down so am quite happy now having switched back after 5 years...And its also nice how fast updates get pushed out by Mandriver community.Its not just an OS anymore;)
Cons
  • All fine
