Linux for everyday use
by sbandara from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AT38)
Dear, all,
I am very new to the Linux world. Maybe this question has already been asked by almost all people. What is the best Linux distro for day-to-day use?. I am trying to transition from Windows to Linux, and. Following are my main priority. I am not much technical person.
(1) Community based
(2) Fast and stable.
(3) easy to install
(4) Privacy (that is the main reason I am switching to Linux)
(5) multi-monitor capabilities.
(6) best driver support out of the box
(7) Matlab support out of the box (scientific research purposes)
I am using a ThinkPad P52 20M9 laptop and currently using Windows 10 os. I am looking for something unique, not necessarily looking for the os with a window or mac os like appearance.
I highly appreciate it if you could suggest to me a few Linux distributions so I can try. Thanks for your time and concern.
