hey guys what's up welcome to XPS tech
and vineeth around 14th of June
Microsoft officially ended its support
to its most popular release of Windows
which is Windows 7 now it was the most
successful Windows operating system
Windows 7 was released in 2009 and still
after 10 years of its release and three
new versions of Windows out since then
including the current version Windows 10
it has the highest market share among
all desktop operating systems so
understandably not many people are happy
with this news but there's nothing that
you can do about it technically you can
still use Windows 7 if you want but you
won't get any updates or security
patches from Microsoft and in near
future expect many popular apps to drop
their support to Windows 7 so it's not a
good choice for your primary computer
and definitely not for any sort of
commercial use so now there are two
options that you have one is very
obvious that is to upgrade your PC to
Windows 10 and force yourself to love it
or you can take the second option that
is to switch to a Windows 7 like Linux
distro that is not only free but also
secure and less susceptible to malware
infection now if you choose the second
option this video is for you in this
video I'm going to give you my top 5
linux distro which is the best windows
alternative also these distros are
selected strictly from the point of view
of a Windows user there are many other
great Linux distro that didn't make into
this list and that's because they are
not Windows oriented alright so with
that said let's start today's video or
starting off with number 5 at number 5
is the boon to destroy with marketed
desktop no bun to default desktop
environment is known but I have selected
Ubuntu Marty Ubuntu is one of the most
popular Linux distro and has been the
leader for the longest time it is still
the most used Linux distro worldwide the
biggest advantage that you have with
Ubuntu is the availability of huge
number of software packages almost all
software that is made for Linux is
available for Ubuntu so you're not going
to miss on anything and it's not just
the software the support for hardware is
also excellent so most of your hardware
will work out of the box and in case you
do need any dry
for a specific hardware if the hardware
supports Linux it will definitely have
drivers for Ubuntu the second biggest
advantage is the availability of online
support guides and tutorials there are
hundreds of videos and blogs available
online in case you need any help it's a
big plus especially for a newcomer now
I'm going with Ubuntu with marty desktop
environment because it can be easily
customized
it has four or five different layouts
one of which is called Redmond and that
changes the desktop layout to Windows
style which is what we are looking for
it is available for both 64 and 32-bit
systems but the latest version 19 point
10 is available only for 64-bit system
the LTS is the long-term version of
Ubuntu release every two years and is
supported for five years the main
disadvantage of Ubuntu is that it's not
a bleeding-edge distro so software
packages are of little older version and
also it is not among the lightest in
linux distro in the list
the recommended ram for 64-bit system is
3gb but it works well if you have a
modern PC next at number four is one of
the derivatives of boon 2 and a huge
name in Linux world which is linux mint
the mint project started in 2006 so it's
a well-established Linux distro being a
1/2 derivative almost all software
packages that works on Ubuntu works on
mint as well both distros shares a lot
in common technology wise there's not
much difference mint also provides the
same sort of software and hardware
support it is there for more than 14
years now so there are many help
materials available for mint as well the
primary reason for popularity of linux
mint over ubuntu is its homegrown
cinnamon desktop environment cinnamon
desktop shares a lot of resemblance to
Windows 7 desktop the desktop has
windows like bottom taskbar Start menu
and system tree and you have a lot of
customization options to tweak the
desktop as per your preference the other
difference is unlike Ubuntu every
release of Linux Mint is supported for
five years and also all versions are
available for both 64 and 32-bit systems
it also has a marte version and but
cinnamon is its primary desktop getting
to the disadvantages
it is also not bleeding-edge district so
you don't get the latest software
packages however now a boon to and mint
supports flat back and snap packages so
he can get latest version of software's
from these places but there are very few
apps available on these platforms all
right now the hardware requirement is
less than Ubuntu mati
the recommended Ram is 2gb also next at
number three is dip in Linux now it's a
Chinese Linux is true and is infamous
for various reports that came de pinna
was being a spy way and there was a lot
of misinformation and people believing
on hearsay when things started to go out
of hand dip in team did came out with an
official statement clarifying the entire
issue but I think it's a great this true
and among my favorite Linux distro deep
in Linux was based on Ubuntu for a long
time but now the recent releases uses
their bein as it's space dipping is
popular among Linux community for its
gorgeous desktop environment it's very
clean elegant and modern looking with
transparent menus and windows element by
default the bottom dock is in fashion
mode but if you change it to efficient
mode it gives you windows like taskbar
and start menu it is not super
customizable but gives you necessary
desktop tweaks it provides great
hardware support and is one of the most
rapidly changing Linux distro new
versions are released in every three
months each with alternate focus on
performance improvements and UI design
hid dpi scaling works best in dipping it
is one of the first links is to
introduce dark mode for applications dip
in OS currently leads the development of
Linux based technology and does not try
away from experimenting new things the
fact that it has this crazy fast release
cycle really helped them achieve this
and the downside of using dip in OS is
that it's heavy on hardware resources
recommended Ram is 4 GB with 25 GB of
hard disk it does not support 32-bit
system and also desktop customization is
very limited if you have a modern
computer with high resolution screen
this is the most visually appealing
Linux distro out there alright so now at
number 2 it's a very difficult choice
but I'll go with Manjaro KD
unlike other Linux distro that are
from Debian or Ubuntu ecosystem Manjaro
is an arch based Linux distro and
arguably the best arch derivative it's
made for those who want to use Arch
Linux but are not expert enough or do
not have the time to build an arch
system from scratch its primary USP is
that it's a bleeding edge it is true and
that means that software packages are
available for download as soon as they
are released by their developers so you
don't have to wait for a new release of
the distro to get them it is also a
rolling Rodriguez is true which means
that you get quick and regular updates
your system is constantly updating and
you do not have to reinstall the US
whenever a new version is released
hence it is for those users who want to
experience the latest software
technology when Jaros default desktop is
known but I'm going with Manjaro kiri
because of its resemblance to Windows
desktop KD is a well-established and
popular desktop environment for Linux
and it's been there for 23 years now
it's famous for its beautiful looks like
dip in desktop but at the same time it
is customizable to the smallest element
of the desktop if you don't like the
default design you can download a
desktop theme from hundreds of themes
available in KDE store when djaro also
has great hardware support there is a
hardware detection tool which search and
install appropriate drivers for your
hard way last year Manjaro revamped its
website and now you will find many
detailed guides and help information
presented to you on this website it only
supports 64-bit system the only
disadvantage of Manjaro
is that it's a bleeding edge distro
there's always a risk of breaking the
system if you install any package that
is not tested or not compatible all
right and the number one position goes
to Zorin OS it's a distro that is built
specifically for windows user since its
beginning in 2009 it has one aim that is
to be a windows alternative so the UI is
customised to look like windows and it
definitely is the most windows looking
linux distro it is not just limited to
looks but you can also run many popular
windows softwares games and run exe
files on Zorin OS just as you would run
on Windows
although not every Windows app is
supported and the latest version may not
work but older version of popular
Windows app like MS Office does work on
Zorin OS it is based on Ubuntu LTS
release so has a support cycle of 5
years but it is not bleeding edge system
if you are a total newbie and want some
help
Zorin provides an ultimate version at a
price of $39 that gives you installation
support with few additional desktop
layouts Sauron has also announced a new
feature coming to their district that is
called Soren grid which is an
application to control and customize
multiple computers running Zorin OS now
this is particularly useful in large
businesses and school environment where
you have multiple pcs it is an upcoming
feature that is not yet release but I
will be reviewing this feature once it
gets released so make sure you subscribe
to XPS tech channel for that the
hardware requirement to run Zorin OS is
also not high
the recommended RAM usage is 2gb of RAM
and 10 GB of storage
now Sahlin OS supports only 64-bit
system but Zoran Lite which uses xfce
desktop environment has a 32-bit version
as well or so that was all if you agree
or disagree with my choice or if you
think that I have missed any particular
feature of any distro kindly write that
in the comment section below also you

destroys that I discussed today on this
