Re: [orca-list] Introduction: New User and Query regarding Getting started with linux



Hi Akash,

I do recommend Debian Mate with following reasons

  • Guided installation with speech synthesis
  • Many precompiled packages will save time
  • It's quite easy to find Debian packages for software that are not available in official repo. Example: Google Chrome, Dropbox.

Debian is not as up to date like Ubuntu. Some of it's packages is a bit outdated and taht is due to Debian prefer stable package compare to bleeding edge. So if you're going for latest package, you may want to consider Ubuntu or Arch Linux.

There may be better options and I would like to hear other opinions in this matter.

Hope that helps.

Hi all,
I'm Akash from India.
I'm working as senior software engeneer and I'm a programmer too.
I'm developing for windows, web and android since many years.
Now, just for passion, I'm thinking to try linux and I'm seeking your
all's expert opinions regarding this field.
I know about various linux distro, but am unable to decide that which
one should I choose and which one is more accessible.
I'm very much aware about Vinux, but I think that it's now abandened?
because there's no download link on vinuxproject site and the builds
are also out dated on the source forge downloads page.
So, please let me know that which linux distro is the most accessible,
user friendly and upto date?
 I'm considering graphical user based distros and not the console based.
with regards,
Akash
