The best Linux distros for 2024 #Linux @AndroidAuth
Android Authority looks at 2024 and says “t’s the perfect time to explore the best Linux distro for your needs.” Their article aims to guide you through the best Linux distros of 2024, helping you select one that allows you to dip your toes into the vastness of the Linux ecosystem.
There are numerous versions of the Linux kernel, long-term support versions, bleeding-edge versions, and versions with bespoke backport patches that a specific Linux distro might want to include.
Desktop environments are also varied, with popular ones including GNOME, KDE, MATE, LXQT, and XFCE. Each environment has its unique way of writing a program, toolkit, and APIs.
Many combinations of these different components result in a dizzying number of Linux distributions. This variety is both a strength and a weakness, offering many choices and potentially causing confusion.
Suggestions include:
Beginners – Ubuntu, POP! OS, Elementary OS, EndeavourOS, MX Linux, Zorin OS, and Linux Mint.
Experts – Debian, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Kali Linux, Alpine Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, and NixOS.
