BumpTop VS distrochooser

You just reminded me of "bumptop" - which I had totally forgotten about:

Interesting to see it's up on github

i had bumptop on a tablet pc, using the pen to nudge icons was awesome. i guess it's open source now? https://github.com/bumptop/BumpTop

Here's BumpTop's website for reference: https://bumptop.com

Yes, Distrochooser Distro watch

[Choosing a Distro] 1. distro chooser website ( https://distrochooser.de/ ) 2. r/distrohopping which is a subreddit dedicated to folks exploring the different distros the Linux Community has created 3. Bleeding edge hardware? (it can limit your distro choices) 4. You prefer a Windows desktop look/feel or a Mac OS look/feel

First, I'd recommend you use this tool. It helped me find Void Linux, which I love to bits.

If you want rock solid stability for everyday use and gaming, similar to Windows, and don't need cutting edge/bleeding edge software, then Linux Mint Cinnamon is probably the best choice. Even though I say that Mint/Cinnamon is the best choice based on the above requirements, I'm bias toward KDE which is even closer to Windows. If you want to check out a desktop environment that is closer to the Mac OS X UI then check out Pop_OS which has the Cosmic DE. It is a custom DE that is similar to Gnome. Gnome (and Cosmic) borrow ideas from Mac OS X UI and have their own unique features apart from OS X. In addition to Distowatch.com take a look at https://distrochooser.de/

pick your poison

If you don't actually care that much and want a distro that 'just works' and is easy, then consider to pick Linux Mint. If you care a tiny bit more, then consider checking out distrochooser.de. And if you actually do care, then consider taking a look at the following axis\1]) and determine for yourself which sides you lean on and to what degree:
