Better than Ubuntu? 11 Best Linux Distros for Ubuntu Lovers

If you’re on your journey of finding that perfect distro for your system, the chances of ending up with Ubuntu-based distros are pretty high.

You may ask why.

Well, it is no surprise that Ubuntu is one of the most beginner-friendly Linux distros. It is also incredibly popular, which is why you will find a massive user community behind it. Not just that, it is also widely used on cloud servers.

So, having Ubuntu as the base for any Linux distribution should come with useful perks, right?

And that is why I came up with a list of the best Ubuntu-based distros in the hope for you’d find something worthy enough to stop distro hopping.

1. Official Ubuntu Flavors

Ubuntu Unity Remix is now an official Ubuntu flavour.

2. Linux Mint

easily upgrade to the latest kernel in Ubuntu, but having official support is convenient, which is where Pop!_OS excels as an Ubuntu-based distro.

Apart from the latest kernel, you also get a beautiful cosmic desktop, and some preinstalled apps such as Eddy to install deb packages conveniently, applies disk encryption by default, and many other features to have a pleasant experience!

4. KDE Neon

Windows-like Linux distributions to install.

Stability is another core feature of Linux Lite that explains why it uses Xfce as its desktop environment.

8. Voyager

best lightweight Linux distros out there.

So if I want to summarise the whole distro in one word, that would be “efficient”. But that’s not it. You get plenty of customization options and collection wallpapers pre-installed to match the look.

When I used it in VM, I was surprised to have a system light as a feather (360Mb of idle RAM usage). It may not be a comfortable experience for a new Linux user, but if you do not mind a classic user interface and the latest of everything, this can be worth trying.
