Ubuntu Alternatives, Xfce, & Having A Go With Fedora 16!

By

– November 20, 2011Posted in: Article, Opinion, Review, Submitted

A little over a year ago I fired up the then latest version of Fedora (13) and found much that I liked. Ultimately though, it just wasn’t the right tool for the job and I ended up going back to Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

Fast forward another year, a few more releases have come out from Fedora, and Canonical has been making some choices that, while likely great long-term for Ubuntu, are a bit awkward currently for some of its user base.

The prime example of these choices, Ubuntu’s Unity, while pretty and much simpler to use than Gnome 2, is still rather rough and inflexible. There may also be evidence that Canonical is currently devoting too many of its resources to Unity’s development rather than fixing bugs that have cropped up since Ubuntu’s 10.04 LTS release. It’s this current Ubuntu awkwardness and an admitted distro-hopping itch that provided the push for me to give some alternates another look (even if only to explore!).
