That's the best kind of OS.

It's too bad ubuntu no longer works well on older hardware. This laptop is only from like 2011, not that old.

Hardware should not be an issue when it comes to an OS, at least when using it for basic stuff.

Off late I've been seeing really slow WiFi speeds on my Manjaro machine(1-2Mbps). WiFi works well on my Mac and all other devices (~50Mbps). Any idea what I should be looking at? I haven't changed any settings on my e900 router (running Tomato firmware) that could have caused the issue. So I'm guessing it's a machine or OS issue.

Could it be interference from other wifi networks?

I've switched back to Mint after struggling with the wifi on Manjaro. After a few updates it became unusable. I didn't have the energy to figure out what was wrong. Pity though, Manjaro was great otherwise. I'll miss Pacman.
I've an issue with Mint though. I connect an external monitor and keep the lid of my laptop closed most of the time. Now when I do that on mint, I'm not able to connect to any wifi networks nearby. So I've to keep the lid open to stay online. It's weird, since I can see the available networks, but not connect to it. Annoying, but not a show stopper.

Keep the lid open and do dual display.

Hope no one downloaded Mint on the 20th.

for a couple of weeks, i used elementary on my lenovo yoga. since elementary is based on ubuntu, you can rely on the same repo's. i just preferred ubuntu's interface so i went back to ubuntu. (until i needed to use windows once again due to work.)

Great thanks for the insight!

Not desktop but servers for me but I love Debian based dist. Running two Ubuntu 18.04.1 servers and two Debian 8 servers. Might move the Debian servers to Ubuntu as well.

Our main server here is running Debian 8 and the backup server as well. Then we have a couple of other servers connected to the site running Ubuntu too.

it feels like windows which is the OS I'm used to the most but I still stick to Fedora. I tried other distros but I always return to fedora.

O am using it with Gnome so it doesn't really feel to much like windows. I like Gnome better than KDE. KDE has sync issues with online accounts which I use

there's one very bad thing about GNOME: performance, almost all animations skip frames and look very laggy on most configurations you can think of.
only on Fedora GNOME was running smoothly.

I haven't found that issue on my 2008 iMac with both unbuntu and Manjaro everything is smooth and fast
