6 Top Linux Desktops As Of Current Market

1. Chrome OS

-Chrome OS is a Linux kernel-based operating system designed by Google to work primarily with web applications. The user interface takes a minimalist approach and consists almost entirely of just the Google Chrome web 



browser; since the operating system is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Web, the only "native" applications on Chrome OS are a browser, media player and file manager.

2. Android Desktop

-Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel with a user interface based on direct manipulation. The operating system uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard. Companies like Lenovo, HP, AMD and Intel think Android can be a top desktop operating system! Even Microsoft seems to be thinking about adding Android to Windows devices.

3. Fedora 20 with GNOME

-Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. Making changes upstream instead of specifically in Fedora ensures that the changes are available to all Linux distributions. GNOME has slowly gained back many of its former supporters with each minor release that often includes big improvements.

4. openSUSE 13.1 with KDE

-SSUSE has been a leading contributor to the KDE project for many years, and now SUSE sponsors more developers to work directly within KDE than any other distribution. Hence, SUSE’s contributions in this area have been very wide-ranging, and affecting many parts of KDE such as kdelibs and KDEBase, Kontact, and kdenetwork. OpenSUSE with KDE is a rock-solid Linux with a great interface.

5. SteamOS

-SteamOS is designed primarily for playing video games. Users will be able to stream games from their Windows or Mac computers to one running SteamOS, and it will incorporate the same family sharing and restrictions as Steam on the desktop. Thanks to Valve's SteamOS we have the first PC operating system that's designed to be both a gaming and workspace operating system.

6. Linux Mint with Cinnamon

-Linux Mint primarily uses free and open source software, making exceptions for some proprietary software, such as plug-ins and codecs that provide Adobe Flash, MP3, and DVD playback. Cinnamon takes the best features of the older GNOME 2.x and adds in some goodness from other interfaces. What you get is one of the best old-school Windows, Icons, Menu, and Pointer (WIMP) desktop out there on any currently shipping operating system.
