The GNU/Linux world is full of various desktop offers, either heavyweight like KDE or GNOME, or lighter with LXDE, and there is no doubt that many niche markets will be more easily addressed with our operating system than with any other ones. One must also keep in mind that the desktop market, even if less active recently, is still the one driving innovation, so Ubuntu and Android are not the only solutions to consider. In order to verify which approach will be your next all-in-one operating system answering each of your needs, we offer you in this magazine the possibility to explore how the most prominent operating systems envision the desktop experience.

You can explore how Linux Mint simplifies and extends the desktop to address easily yet efficiently the Ubuntu base, how Mageia, throughout its ever increasing community, answers to the users needs. If you are prone to testing latest technologies, or explore more deeply the system, you will find a good answer with Fedora or openSUSE.

So get your game on!
