Introduction
Last week I wrote a list of the 5 Linux distributions I recommend for the everyday linux user.
As expected I am receiving comments asking why I didn't include this distribution or that distribution.
I am therefore opening the floor to you guys and girls.
The Challenge
Your challenge is to write a list of the 5 Linux distributions you would recommend to the everyday linux user.
What Is The Everyday Linux User
My criteria for the everyday user is somebody who isn't particularly technically skilled.
They don't know or care how to program or script and they don't particularly want to spend time messing around in the terminal or scouring the internet searching for solutions to things that should be easy to set up.
The Everyday user wants tools such as office suites, browsers, chat clients, audio programs, video players and image viewers.
The Everyday Linux User wants to be able to find and install software easily.
The Reward
Each sensible submission (ie no spam posts) will be posted on this site.
At the end of August I will place a poll and you will be able to vote on the best submission.
The top 2 submissions will receive a £10 Amazon gift card (which is between $15 and $20 dollars and changing on a daily basis due to the recent brexit vote in the UK).
The winners will be announced on the 10th September.
So not only do you get to have your say you also get a chance to win a prIze as well.
