After trying these OS's for desktop trying BSD in 2015
I work with a Intel NUC D54250WYK in my job. It had Linux Mint 17, and I was tired of having to update applications I need like Libreoffice, mutt, thunderbird, and so on. Also I prefer now a distribution more update not LTS.
I dismissed the Linux Mint 18 option because I want a main distribution. I have servers working with Debian and Ubuntu so I tried these two.
My premises are:
- I have to get all configured in less than 3 hours. It's the work desktop !!
- I have to get all applications that I need to work.
- my /home is on a separate partition, so no extra work for restoring backups.
- beautiful fonts please.
- I work with i3wm. Yes, I'm used to work with keyboard more than mouse.
