Jonah412 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Personally I like Ubuntu better. I was wondering what everyone else thought about the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StRiANON Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Of course Ubuntu, it's more quickly updates and much more popular distro unlike centos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRTSTR Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 At the moment and for many years the best distro is Ubuntu. Security, timeliness of updates, documentation! and much more. A friend is now a fait accompli, with Ubuntu in its niche no competitors. this is the best product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdank Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 CentOS is also good if your needing to run a small box 128mb-512mb. Centminmod is quite good for setting up a clean system with a ton of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 it really depends I've used Ubuntu for years but I also like mint and Debian a lot too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awkwarddev Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hmm ... Very vogue and not tech-savvy comments to begin with. Both have strengths and weaknesses. They are both bred by the two sides of the Linux corporate industry. Ubuntu - It's much more user-friendly and very doable for a Linux newbie that will likely not recover easily from an error due to misuse or simply an update that broke something - It's Linux, it happens ... That being said, Ubuntu is a bigger hog-house, meaning utilizes and wastes more resources in comparison with CentOS. It however features a more updated tool-set which at some points compromises it's over all reliability. - If you need a quick and reliable server with extensive documentation and community support, featuring the latest in the Linux world and you'll be tweaking a fair lot without being in the 'Linux Navy' = Ubuntu is suitable for you. CentOS - To be honest, not much can be said about it once it's noted that CentOS is the basis of RedHad Linux and RedHad is used at governments, hospitals and places where stability and resource consumption is critical = CentOS is for you. Though as apparent from the above said, it does not feature the latest packages, has a bad documentation and requires a certain level of Linux know-how, but once taken seriously for me personally CentOS is beating the crap out of Ubuntu any day. My two cents, hehe. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termanator1128 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I prefer Ubuntu just because that's the one I have the most knowledge on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb8 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 to make server centos is the best way and easy! to use desktop ubuntu not bad! but the boss is debian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wamphyri Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 linuxmint is probably the simplest to learn from, centos and debian are server based (centos originated from redhat, when redhat went enterprise) and debian is one of the oldest distributions avalable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibiteto Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I usually have more experience with Ubuntu and i think it has some great stuff, i would say Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REiichi Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I prefer Ubuntu, myself. Nice easy setup for home and it has some nice community support. For hosting personal projects, I also tend to use ubuntu server because I don't allow remote code. At my workplace, we do use CentOS, which...honestly feels about the same anyways. Different package manager is about all I've noticed in day to day management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefansatasa Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Well, in my opinion CentOS is better for a server enviroment, and ubuntu for desktop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
