Linux Distros
Linux Distros that I use and have tested.
A Linux distribution is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, combined with essential software, tools, and package managers. It is tailored to meet the needs of various users such as developers, enterprises, cybersecurity experts, and general users. It includes the Linux kernel, system tools, a package manager, and optional desktop environments. Distributions come with pre-installed tools, minimizing manual setup. They are designed for different purposes like hacking, server management, development, or desktop use. Additionally, they offer flexibility and customization options to suit individual user requirements.
Technical Requirements
RAM: Minimum 2 GB, Recommended 4 GB or more.
Processor: Minimum x86 (64-bit) 2 GHz dual-core processor or better, Recommended 2.5 GHz quad-core processor or better.
Storage: Minimum 25 GB free disk space, Recommended 50 GB or more.
Kubuntu is a variation of the Ubuntu operating system that utilizes the KDE Plasma desktop environment (DE). I prefer KDE over alternatives like GNOME, Cinnamon, or Xfce primarily because of its seemingly endless customization options. While it may not be the most lightweight DE available, its features are the best fit for my specific workflow. This has been my daily driver on most of my Linux desktops for almost a year.
P.S. I really love that OS, but my true favorite is macOS… It's been my main OS since 1984.

Most of the following Distros can support other desktop environments; I prefer KDE. Also, those marked with the [X] are in development or production status.
