The Best Linux Distributions of 2014

From the technological, point of view represents a break in August, in the West, before the start of the fall season that leads to Christmas.

So you can take advantage of this tranquility to decide whether it is worth changing a few things, such as the operating system. And if so, if you decide to switch from Windows or Mac OS, Linux then you can use the vacations and holidays to find the distribution that suits your needs.

The speech is complex, and not easy to understand what is the Best Linux Distributions of 2014, partly because the individual needs weigh heavily on the judgment. But if you were to draw up, a ranking in the top 10 would end surely these distributions.

Ubuntu

Trivial choice, Ubuntu, version 14.04 that released in April, is special: it is an LTS. Or, in other words, it will be supported, updated and improved for the next 5 years. This makes this particular version of this distribution and an excellent choice for those who need a stable system. You can safely use for work or home. Although the Unity interface is not exactly the best, I do not absolutely love it, Ubuntu is an easy to use, easy to install and great for almost everything, whether for play or for work.

Linux Mint

Derived from Ubuntu, version, year of Linux Mint relies completely based on 14.04. So even Linux mint will support five years. Which will allow a better development of the distribution, as well as to ensure stability.

Why prefer Linux Mint to Ubuntu? Well, first and foremost for the desktop interface in use, more intuitive and simple. And secondly, because of the fact Linux Mint is more responsive and more reliable than Ubuntu itself. And it is no coincidence that now is contending the scepter to the product of Canical.

Elementary OS

Elementary OS is a derivative of Ubuntu even simpler and more elegant than not Ubuntu itself. And it is also the best way to switch from Linux to Windows. Some are uncomfortable, because it seems a simple operating system, too simple. But it is a good Linux distribution to work without worries, to surf the net remaining protected from viruses and to watch videos, even in high definition, without wasting time looking for the correct Video CODEC.

Arch Linux

This year’s version of Arch Linux continues the tradition. I think it’s one of the distributions are more difficult to configure, easy to install and also to use. Ensures complete control on your computer and operating system. In recent years, it has achieved a diffusion such that it is also easy to find help if you are a beginner. You can easily find guides to be used at the beginning, and there are some very active community to ask for help.

Tails

TAILS is a distribution designed for security. And proof of NSA, at least, for the moment, and gives top priority to the privacy and confidentiality of your business. The fact that it works is evident from the attention that it has dedicated itself NSA: monitors who download this distribution, and keep track of all those that install. What then once installed you are sure from prying eyes is really a good thing.
