  Great article. What would be the name of new Category? Ubuntu? Or Linux? I will have Praveen make you moderator on that category. Cheers!

    Thank you, I would prefer Linux. Linux is more general whereas Ubuntu is specific and may not cover everything that I will have to share and talk about.

  Also, Amit Diwan, everyone will have their own choice. I prefer Ubuntu Studio over Ubuntu itself, because it comes with everything "preinstalled". However, Elementary OS, Debian and similar are also powerful. The performance factor comes from the GUI that you have installed. XCFE, GNOME and others... They will run on the top of your Linux and may cause a slowdown of 1 second. But that is not the problem! :-) As for you, I would recommend that you try them all. Try them all, use them, and then see if they suit your needs or not.

    That's great Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan. I have used Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and Ubuntu. Surely, Ubuntu is the best in terms of performance. But I will still give Linux Mint a try. Have you ever used Kubuntu, Xubuntu and other Ubuntu flavors . Xubuntu flavor uses Xfce as the desktop environment :)

    Yes, Amit Diwan, I have tried them all. The only difference is the tools they have (Edubuntu would have many education based services) and others just differ in the desktop environment. I still prefer Ubuntu itself, not its derivatives.

  Great question Amit Diwan, actually everything based on Linux is a Linux after all. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Elementary and many more. I have tried them all. They are all just "awe"! Amazing operating systems, powerful management tools and everything. But, Ubuntu is something that I will recommend to someone who comes from a Windows background, who has never used command-line interface. Ubuntu manages most of the stuff with a GUI. Ubuntu SDK is a full-featured SDK, with Qt IDE. Whereas other Linux distros are not as much powerful and their SDKs are plain Linux codes, such as C or C++ codes, Shell scripts or other GUI applications who run over Shell scripts. That is why, Ubuntu seems the best Linux distro to use if you come from Windows environment. :-)

  Informative article Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan, have you ever tried Linux Mint instead Ubuntu? If yes, then which one is better in terms of security and performance? I have worked on Ubuntu, but heard that Linux Mint is far better (but not practically tried tho). And yes I will try Ubuntu SDK surely now. :)

    Amit Diwan, for your sake I tried Linux Mint and I kind of enjoyed it. If I compare it to a flavor of Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, then I would recommend using Linux Mint. It is really lightweight and powerful operating system. :-) One thing, it is still based on Ubuntu and adds a bunch of extra features like XFCE desktop. But lacks the professional tools for graphics and audio work.
