Currently, the company uses the KDE environment of fedora17 and archlinux in its own notebook. After the KDE environment is installed, without software that you don't want, you may have poor hardware configurations and poor performance. I have been thinking about what kind of environment do we need? It does not need to be gorgeous. The key is practicality and convenience. Repeated and tedious configurations make me impatient. The root cause of the failure to remove archliunx is no longer how good and lightweight it is. The key is its rolling upgrade, which makes it unnecessary for me to wait for a certain date, release a version, re-upgrade or install a new environment. However, the first time you configure archlinux, the tragedy of the driver when you install X11 will always be repeated when you install it in the new environment.
What kind of computer environment do we need? I listed the order in a descending order according to my needs.
- Support the machine I configured a few years ago: with driver support, the device requirements are not too harsh
- The installed software can run stably: do not give me software that often crashes.
- Easy to install: whether it is a graphical interface or a text interface, it can provide automated and recommended configuration to quickly complete its installation without any intervention. Of course, it can provide some advanced configuration functions for selection.
- Easy installation of the software I need: There are indeed a lot of software sources, which are very powerful. There are also software centers with different release versions, and there are fast update sources in China
- Rolling upgrade: provides support for long-period updates. You can use the latest version without reinstalling it.
- Don't attach some software that I don't need: I know what software I need, and I don't need your recommended space resources.
- A ready-to-use desktop environment: KDE? Gnome? Xface? Lxde?
I am looking for such a version and it seems difficult to find it. I feel that archlinux 3, 4, and 7 are not doing well, and Fedora 2, 5, and 6 are not doing well, ubuntu 1, 5, and 6 are not good enough. Whether you have a better release version can be recommended.
