Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • From application services to virtualizations. It is very stable, weekly updates, a well documented CLI easy to use.
  • Centos runs only the most stable version of codes and integrates it as well. The CLI works buttery smooth and is superfast.
  • Cons

  • But the system was only being used for a trial period, so when it becomes obsolete it won't disrupt my current administrating duties.
  • The problem with CentOS now is that its future is unknown. Red Hat has stated it won't be continuing this distribution - which is probably related to the acquisition of Red Hat by Big Blue (IBM).

  • Pros

  • I've been using Linux Mint for years and it is one of the best distributions of Linux out there. It has a responsive, modern desktop and lightweight feel while still being very customizable.
  • I always use XFCE and Linux Mint makes it look so beautiful with well thought out colour schemes and outstanding photographic and abstract backgrounds to choose from.
  • Cons

  • Wine and other emulators gave me a hard time trying to run some essential Windows 10 software on Linux Mint.
  • Poor support for gaming. No standard edition available.
