...................Go with Ubuntu!
RE: Which linux should I instal? - ArkPhaze - 11-28-2011
Ubuntu? no... I would say Linux Mint if you're a beginner, (which i'm assuming here if you're asking) otherwise Arch. Ubuntu is a bulky distro.

BLACK UBUNTU
BACK | TRACK
and for a start Linux Mint and Ubuntu is better
RE: Which linux should I instal? - ArkPhaze - 11-29-2011
I would still recommend Linux Mint over Ubuntu though personally. Popular doesn't mean better, there's a whole bunch of them that are far better than Ubuntu, even though they are mostly all derivatives of the Ubuntu kernel, these derived distro's are also more improved in comparison to the resource consuming, bulky, Ubuntu itself.

I agree that Ubuntu is bulky. I haven't personally used Mint or any of the other Debian forks, but I have had Ubuntu run on some lower end hardware fine. If you're looking for a lightweight distro go with Slackware + fluxbox

I like Arch with AwesomeWM, Fluxbox isn't really for beginner Linux users though, and neither is Arch unfortunately. That's the only problem I could see with suggesting that to you (Dapaus)

Either Ubuntu or Linux mint.
I'm at Linux Mint aswel, i love it.
RE: Which linux should I instal? - DaPaus - 11-29-2011
Will try linux mint
Had ubuntu like 3 months dual booted on my laptop (Yeah bad idea but I wanted to try linux). And I tought it was crap. But I wanted to give linux a second chance so.. Will try it as soon as I have my 'new' pc.
