Hello!!
I want to install linux on my system. Which flavour would be preferrable in that-Fedora or Ubuntu?
- As far as look and cool GUI is concerned, Fedora is preferred.
-But, there are many dependencies that need to be resolved with Fedora. So, Ubuntu is preferred as a stable version.
Can I get proper suggestions on the above?
Hi Sugandha,
Welcome to the show. Knowingly or unknowingly, you have restarted to longest running debates in this community about the most suitable distro. We linux users respect our freedom of choice and are spoilt for the same. You will discover that there are as many distros as the stars in this galaxy and everyone has his/her favourite.
So go ahead, try out LiveCDs of a few of them. Also, being a new-comer, you would like to interact with the particular distro's community and see if you feel comfortable and get proper responses regarding support questions that you might have. You might want to browse their wiki or documentation site to see if you can find answers to the most common issues like how to install (the system itself as well as other programs, etc), configuration, etc. Sooner than later you will find a distro that you are most comfortable with.
GUI and the glitter, you will be able to replicate on almost any system, so go for stability.
Just my 2 paisa worth of scene on the show. Sit back and enjoy the rest. :-)
