You are experiencing a shift from what some might consider desktops with “too many bells and whistles” or “too profound a shift in design.” Evolve OS makes the Linux desktop as simple and graceful as possible, without turning the desktop metaphor completely on its head. When you are exposed to this distribution, your first thought might be that Evolve OS is about the desktop ─ and a reaction to the current crop of desktops for the Linux platform. Both Evolve OS and Budgie are in alpha, so it’s not the most stable platform out there, but even running Evolve OS from a live ISO, you can see where the project is going and how incredibly simple it will be to use. Budgie is not a fork of another desktop ─ it is built from the ground up. The developers of Evolve OS have taken a page from the Chrome OS design book and created the Budgie desktop. Why? The Chrome OS desktop is an elegant, user-friendly interface that anyone can sit down with and immediately use. There is a reason Chrome OS and Chromebooks are so popular (other than their cost) ─ they are incredibly simple to use. Which ones, you ask? Let’s take a look at what I believe will be the distributions to watch in 2015. In fact, there are a few distributions that could give those kings and queens of Linux a run for their money this year. That doesn’t mean, however, that new distributions don’t try to take down the mighty standard bearers. Why is that? My guess would be that the stable of standard distributions has become so strong, it’s hard for competition to stand up to the likes of Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, Fedora, SUSE, and Debian. Linux distributions arrive a bit less frequently and, when they do finally arrive, tend to have a bit more staying power.
They came and went so fast, you might have completely missed their short lives. There was a time when new Linux distributions popped up on what seemed like a daily basis.
