Ubuntu 15.04 and flavors released!

It's April 2015, and a new release of the most popular Linux distro (bar its fork, Mint) has been released, along with the usual flavors (plus another, Ubuntu MATE). So what's new?

Korora 21 Cinnamon: (Almost) the Mint of the Fedora world

Korora aims to be the easiest-to-use Fedora-based distribution. It is supposed to be very easy to install and use. I was interested by this, and I decided to review it and see if it lives up to its promise.

Pinguy OS 14.04.2: A somewhat heavy distro that's easy to use for everyone

Sorry for the somewhat late post; I've been bogged down by schoolwork. 

I’ve heard a lot about Pinguy OS. It’s aimed at a simple desktop that everyone, “not just geeks”, can use. I’ve been intrigued by this (and also the quirky name) and I thought I’d review it. But first, a quick note.

Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon: Traditional and elegant Linux distro aimed at simplicity

Linux Mint is lauded as a great distro for beginners, and is also the most popular Linux distro of all, so I thought I’d review the Cinnamon version and post my thoughts about it. I’d used the KDE and MATE versions before and I quite liked them. The Cinnamon edition is the most popular version, though, so I thought I’d review that one.

Bodhi Linux 3.0.0: Lightweight Ubuntu-based distro that makes tradeoffs for small footprint

After reviewing many KDE-based distros, I thought I’d do something different and review the Enlightenment 19-based Bodhi Linux. Bodhi is designed to be lightweight on resources and it lived up to its goal.

openSUSE 13.2 KDE: The best KDE distro out, bar its fonts

I thought I’d review the distro I’m using, openSUSE 13.2 KDE. However, I’d stored a bunch of stuff on it and I couldn’t measure performance accurately as on a stock VM so I just ended up putting it in a VM.

Netrunner 15: An excellent, refined Kubuntu-based distro, if you don't use UEFI

I’ve heard a lot of talk about this distro as one of the finest KDE distros, and not too many people know about it. As a KDE fan, I was interested and decided to review it.
