5 of my favorite Linux distros ready to use out of the box - no setup required


These distros are easy to install, include the right apps, skip the bloat and ads, and automatically detect your hardware. Easy peasy. You're welcome.

ZorinOS includes the software you need (and not much more), a simple tool for connecting your mobile phone, an easy installation, and a handy Zorin Appearance app to help users select the desktop layout they want. COSMIC is far easier to use than the GNOME-based desktop, is exponentially faster, has a more logical workflow, and includes a fantastic tiling window manager option. This Linux distribution requires almost no work after installation, includes all the software you need (with no added bloat), and offers a delightful out-of-the-box experience.
