Hey, any off you guys recommend any other Linux Distros for a Ubuntu user. I used Mint before, but did not care for it that much, maybe I was using it wrong. But just some opinion and advice would be nice. I will be using it for everyday machine and will be tinkering with it a bit. If you have any questions ask, I should reply by the next day.
Try some distros out.
If you want to stay with DEB packages, Debian is an obvious choice.
I personally like Manjaro a lot, because of the AUR and the added configuration tools, whilst still being very close to regular Arch.
I've moved from Ubuntu to Elementary OS on one of my computers... I'm liking it, but I'm new to Linux (a few weeks). It looks a lot like Mac OSX if that's something that appeals to you.
I'd say check out Elementary OS. It's simple and fast.
Could not agree more. Fast, Efficient, Simple, and beautiful. Make sure to upgrade the kernel after install. I recommend you install Conky with the LSD theme.
Did you try the Cinnamon desktop environment on Linux Mint?
If you want support that is on par (arguably better) with the Ubuntu community I'd go with Fedora. There is a ton of documentation and you can install pretty much any desktop environment that you can think of. Yum (the package manager) is pretty robust and makes updating as easy and apt-get. Idk, just start trying out different distros. You don't have to install them to use them, almost every distro has a live cd so just burn that to a usb or cd and try it before you install.
I'd also suggest maybe Manjaro (if you want an easy(er) experience with Arch) or Sabayon (easier Gentoo). Both of those are rolling release distros so you would never have to update your OS, it'll just come as a normal update.
Like I said above you'll only find another distro if you look around.
If you know a decent amount of Linux I would recommend Arch. I would say Debian using the testing repoes after that.
This - and its coming to Fedora in Fedora 22 (bouncing around the room all excited)
Checkout Xubuntu. It is Ubuntu without the shitty GUI and other bullshit.
