Came here to look at ubuntu mate since I threw it on a laptop that I forgot the password for. I was in another tab but commenting immediately after hearing "Hydrogen Drum Machine" So nostalgic for me

Cinnamon is perfect for me. I'm using LMDE.

Does this apply for today? 5/14/26
@Mechanic90s Says:
omg soo many distros :/
@buildyear86 Says:
i thought ubuntu cinnamon used flatpaks instead of default ubuntu which uses snaps? Is there a way to use flatpaks in ubuntu and completely get rid of snaps?
@Dnaliaht Says:
In 2026, what would you suggest now, as the best and do all Distro, Parrot, Caine, Arch, NixOs, BlackArch. = )
@N-Tity Says:
So many choices. I have Kubuntu on my desktop and the xfce desktop on my galaxy tab.
@er2206 Says:
I'm excited
@thomasfrost6993 Says:
Your videos are the best. If there is a question I have about computers or operating systems and I see you have one on that subject, that's the video I watch. Thank you for your hard work.
@robertjohnson-iu4ux Says:
Which Linux do you reccomend for Bluetooth usage
@RonAnybody Says:
So it's all about style and colour? Why do all these distros even exist?
@shujaanjumSciedu Says:

@surfdog51 Says:
I started with Mandrake Linux a long time ago. I did distro hop for a while, but I really just needed the applications and keep the O. S. out of the way. So I chose Ubuntu Mate and have used it now for years. It's basic, stable, and easy to use. I put it on my wife's computer and my mother in-law's and they really don't know or care what the OS is. They just use it. I really do appreciate your taking the time to run through the distros though, keeps me up to date. PS: Studio looks like loads of fun with all the creative software installed.

Ubuntu is the best
@Coastline1362 Says:
thank you.
@erikblomqvist8325 Says:
Ubuntu MATE is the only flavour of Ubuntu that I still use. It reminds me of what Ubuntu used to be (GNOME 2) and it works reasonably well on computers from that era. I don't like being forced to use Snaps, but this is still the best looking MATE distro that I know of.
For GNOME 3, I use Fedora.
For KDE, I use Bazzite. (Not because I like KDE, but because it works better than their GNOME version.)
For XFCE, I use MX Linux. (Most polished XFCE I've had and great on smaller screens where you need all the vertical space.)
For Cinnamon, I use Linux Mint. (I don't see much point in the XFCE and MATE versions, as they are just poor imitations of the Cinnamon experience.)
At the moment, I don't use any of the other desktop environments. I used Unity, back when it was the default for Ubuntu, but I never liked it and don't see why anyone would still want to use it. The rest of them, I don't think I've tried, and at the moment, I don't think I'm curious enough about them to do so.
@brianzerorc Says:
was using Xubuntu, and it is my favorite one before Unity. it is really lightweight and makes my low-spec laptop from 2013 usable until 2020 with just several minor upgrade. Steam integration works well although yes Proton might need extra works to run some games that only can run on Windows..
will try this one soon.
@AuxiliaryHillman Says:
Interesting that Ubuntu Studio uses a newer version of KDE than Kubuntu
@CoolAir544 Says:
I would also prefer ubuntu kylin for many new users
@CoolAir544 Says:
I have used Unity DE. So I use ubuntu unity using adapta grk theme, bibata ice cursor, and zafiro icon pack. It looks new as how it was back in 2011
@ynyslochtyn Says:
Gnome is well supported but horrendous. KDE is well supported but sublime. The rest, why bother?
@ynyslochtyn Says:
Xubuntu looks a bit different from other xfce implementations ie worse.
@danradu2471 Says:
Cinnamon
@UBAYBE Says:
What about a bare min linux no apps installed?
@qbertguy Says:
I love mint, I really do, but I prefer kde. So I've been on kubuntu
@MartaJimenez-z4f Says:
This channel is criminally underrated.
@Marcheziora Says:
It's nice to see Unity again since that's what I started using Linux with Ubuntu 12.04.
@NikolajLepka Says:
NGL I totally forgot Ubuntu Studio existed. And it now comes with Plasma?
Kubuntu or Studio... which to choose? 🤔
@jacobburesh8522 Says:
having your child use a kid-version of linux is a whole new level of geek and i love it
@a.patrickgibb4456 Says:
I was using Ubuntu but after watching this I've changed over to Cinnamon edition. Much nicer. I didn't need to reinstall the OS, just added the extra desktop.
@tomas-wi8dy Says:
I used to use U Studio before adopt KDE desktop. Now I have one U Mate instalation but the main distro is opensuse tumbleweed
@TchMin Says:
I wish Linux Mint had official KDE desktop. I read/heard that although KDE Plasma can be installed on Mint, there could sometimes be issues.
@tenfourproductionsllc Says:
20:54 - but if you do that, it means no web browsers at all installed and if you do a sudo apt-get install firefox, it will install the snap package and then install the firefox snap package.....
@KeithApp Says:
You look very similar to Curly Watts from Coronation Street. Is he your brother or something?
@coinopanimator Says:
It’s just such a a shame that more productivity software isn’t Linux ready.
@vsayikiran Says:
what is name of package for periodic table?
@ladybonezz8017 Says:
i am considering ubuntu studio as I am learning how to edit videos, do audio, music stuff, etc. A place to be creative sounds interesting to me. I need to watch your other videos on it. Thank you for all the information you put out there! Great work.
@Oz-Haggis Says:
I'm Australian. MATE will always rhyme with late, never latte.
@malcolmhay6668 Says:
Studio
@UltraCenterHQ Says:
Man, tried Kubuntu last year and it was a mess. Couldn't get minecraft because the deb installer said missing dependencies without telling me why, and selecting the nvidia driver crashes the startup
@HuertaGer Says:
cinnamon all the way
@Jupiterplus Says:
Informative!👍 I just installed kubuntu a few days back and liking it very much. Was looking for an alternative to Windows as my Windows 10 is going out of support in 2025.
@sanderhulsman-m1k Says:
I wonder which Ubuntu flavour actually works well with a HP Laserprinter.
@sanderhulsman-m1k Says:
Very nice youtube indeed. Now I can say I have several favorite flavors on Ubuntu, depending from the topic, from what I want to do with Ubuntu.
@ocean374 Says:
Great video I’m looking forward to using ubuntu studio
@khaledhoussou3032 Says:
Currently I'm using budgie flavour I like it
@samiazzi332 Says:
UbuntuDDE ???!!
@jamus1217 Says:
Ubuntu Studio looks pretty sweet. I'd like to get into Linux but from what info i've gathered none of my USB PC accessories would work. Along with the majority of my music software :(
