What can flatpaks do that others -snap, appimage- can’t? At least they don’t have weird naming of program (com.sth.sth.fk)…

Yeah

Don’t listen to people. Choose any distro that is newbie friendly. If you don’t choose, you are still choosing. The worst of your choices is probably better than what you are currently using.

I am planning for XP.

Panel colourizer is the only new thing I found. Will try. Thanks.

Can virt-manager boot windows boxes?

What does this do?

Correct. They have the history of “the best use of desktop space” from unity DE. Although I will not forgive canonical for dropping unity, the gnome they have is close.

I have also seen some desktops of my hospital labs using Ubuntu. Must say, amidst all the win7 monitors, that looked so sexy…

I also see delayed response in displaying shutdown options.

Spot on.

Only for fedora?

Actually I am liking her writing. (Not native myself either.)

Reading this thread I am even more confused about Linux in general.

Spiral, yes I had a glance on it. It seemed the Gecko of Debian, as expected. I did not find it too different than sparky, so I did not embrace it well. Not planning to see again for now either. If I get a chance to try a new distro, I’d install Void or NixOS. For now I am happy with Arch or ubuntu family.

My fav obscure distros are: 1. Sparky Linux, Debian based simple stable system. It has many flavours with a lot of desktops to choose from. Also has stable and semi-roling iso. Now I never installed Debian itself, so can’t compare sparky with Debian. But it is very much better than any other distro I used. I don’t know why it is not popular. 2. Reborn OS. I used to love it when running. Arch based lovely project. This is the very much successor of Antergos.

Manjaro is great. I keep on coming back to it time to time.
