The linux setup for everyone (freeware with GUI only and distro recommendations)

THIS LIST HAS BEEN DELETED DUE TO A BUG, SO IT MISSES SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS ! I've been using Linux for a year now. I do use CLI tool and the terminal but I'm super used to GUI and I do understand why you might don't want to bother with Terminal and stuff ! Here is my list of useful tools for beginners on Linux ! The same list for macOS : Windows 10 :

Xenmaster's 2026 Distro Hopper Guide

I have noticed in general that the recommendation list for alternatives on this site is broken when it comes to Linux Distros. Often times when looking for a server distro or gaming distros, I will get generic recommendations for any Linux distribution and I will have to guess if the use-case is right. This list seeks to provide true alternatives based on use-cases for the most popular Linux and BSD distributions out there! Note this is a 2026 update to my original list posted several years ago. https://alternativeto.net/lists/23956/xenmaster-s-linux-distro-master-list/ Rather than re-write history, I'm adding a new post with the below link to my original. A lot has changed in the OS world so adding some details regarding what I use and how. Unlike my old list, this one will include both Linux and BSD related systems, similar in their unix-like behavior, but each with different utilities and mechanisms for performing operations. Note that as of the posting of this list, only OpenBSD supports Full Disk Encryption on installation without manual configuration steps, a major drawback if this is a critical component to your use as a desktop setup.

What is GLF OS?

GLF OS is a gaming-oriented live Linux distribution based on NixOS. Developed by a French-speaking community called Gaming Linux France (GLF), the distribution includes everything one would need for gaming on Linux, including Steam, Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher, as well as MangoHud, a tool for monitoring system performance and for benchmarking applications. GLF OS comes with specific hardware-management configurations for PS5 DualSense, Xbox and 8bitdo controllers. The distribution uses the GNOME desktop environments.

Gaming Linux Fr is a community of enthusiasts built around a Discord and a website. We are the first French-speaking community dedicated to gaming on Linux.

We regularly launch projects to improve Linux accessibility. For example, we have already worked on scripts for Arch Linux (Architect), as well as applications to facilitate software installation, such as Easy Flatpak.

Our community also performs audit exercises, to highlight the Linux distributions that come closest to our ideal vision. This vision is focused on newcomers (out-of-the-box installation), multimedia and gaming, straight from the installation stage.

And it was by combining these two exercises that the idea of creating our own distribution was born: to deliver a stable, accessible, gaming-oriented operating system. It meets all the GLF specifications.

This project is first and foremost a community project, for Gaming Linux Fr. It's also a challenge, taken up by our community.
