Ubuntu
![](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145310cwrqiaapk8qwiaqr.jpg)


如果你正在找寻适合你的系统的完美发行版，那么选择基于 Ubuntu 的发行版的可能性非常高。


你可能会问为什么。


嗯，毫不奇怪，Ubuntu 是 [最适合初学者的 Linux 发行版之一](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-beginners/)。它也非常流行，这就是为什么你会发现它拥有庞大的用户社区。不仅如此，它还广泛用于 [云服务器](https://linuxhandbook.com/free-linux-cloud-servers/) 上。


因此，将 Ubuntu 作为 Linux 发行版的基础应该带来一些有用的优势，对吧？


这就是为什么我列出了基于 Ubuntu 的最佳发行版清单，希望你能找到一款足够出色，让你停止频繁更换发行版的选择。


### 1、Ubuntu 官方衍生版


![budgie desktop screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145347unwp6xizuxwc69ff.png)


如果你不喜欢 Ubuntu 官方提供的 GNOME 桌面环境，你可以尝试官方衍生版，它们在 Ubuntu 的基础上提供了不同的桌面环境。


简单来说，你将得到同样的 Ubuntu 使用体验，但拥有不同的用户界面。


为了让你的用户体验更加愉快，这些桌面环境已经进行了预调整和主题设置，这使它们成为了那些希望拿来即用的完美选择。


以下是可用的选项：


* Kubuntu（KDE Plasma）
* Lubuntu（最节约资源的选择，使用 LXDE/LXQT）
* Ubuntu Studio（面向创作者的发行版）
* Ubuntu Budgie（Budgie 桌面环境）
* Ubuntu Kylin（专为中国用户定制）
* Ubuntu MATE（使用 MATE 桌面和工具）
* Xubuntu（Xfce 桌面）


此外，你还可以在 Ubuntu 22.10 中发现一个带有经典 Unity 桌面环境的新的官方衍生版，因为 [Ubuntu Unity Remix 现已成为官方 Ubuntu 衍生版](https://news.itsfoss.com/unity-remix-official-flavor/)。

### 2、Linux Mint


![linux mint 21 home](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145348m1clpzjiprldxkvj.jpg)


Linux Mint 的主要特点：


* 默认不使用 Snap。
* 使用 Cinnamon 桌面环境，提供直观、易用的体验。
* 精美的用户界面。
* 对于 Windows 用户而言，具有熟悉的操作体验。
* 管理编解码器和硬件驱动程序非常方便。


如果我要用一句话来描述 Linux Mint，那就是 “简洁优雅的用户体验，足够满足高级用户的需求”。


通过 Linux Mint 的 Cinnamon 桌面环境，你可以期待到一个精心打磨和定制的体验。现在由 Linux Mint 团队开发的 Timeshift 之类的工具，可以让你享受无缝的使用体验。


Linux Mint 包括了基本必备的应用软件，包括办公套件和满足多媒体消费需求的应用程序，非常适合初学者使用。

### 3、Pop!\_OS


![pop os screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145348vhps6hch2x55iipi.png)


Pop!\_OS 的主要特点：


* 开箱即用的英伟达显卡支持。
* COSMIC 桌面（定制的 GNOME 使用体验）。
* 提供窗口管理器的基本功能。
* 一个用于从灾难中恢复系统的恢复分区。


由受欢迎的开源硬件制造商 System76 开发，Pop!\_OS 22.04 LTS 是我目前的主力操作系统，而背后有着充分的理由。


Pop!\_OS 定期更新 Linux 内核包，在本文撰写时运行 Linux 内核 5.19。是的，我知道你可以 [轻松升级到最新的内核](https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/)，但官方支持更为便捷，这正是 Pop!\_OS 作为基于 Ubuntu 的发行版的优势所在。


除了最新的内核外，你还将得到一个美观的 COSMIC 桌面，以及一些预安装的应用程序，如用于方便地安装 deb 包的 Eddy，还默认应用磁盘加密以及许多其他功能，让你获得愉快的体验！

### 4、KDE Neon


![kde neon screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145349tn0en4n1d3rrvh1x.png)


KDE Neon 的主要特点：


* 基于 Ubuntu 平台，提供最原生的 KDE 使用体验。
* 提供最新版本的 KDE Plasma。


除非你追求最新的 KDE 体验，否则 KDE Neon 可能不适合你。换句话说，它并非旨在作为日常使用的操作系统，而是旨在提供最前沿的 KDE 体验。


如果你想体验 KDE 的最新功能，KDE Neon 仍然是最佳的基于 Ubuntu 的发行版之一。


还有很多其他基于 KDE Plasma 的发行版；如果你不是非要追求最新的体验，那么 Kubuntu 是你最好的选择。


此外，KDE Neon 仅预装了最基本的工具，以让用户有足够的空间可以自行决定在特定任务中使用什么工具。

### 5、elementaryOS


![elementaryos screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145349muox00xvzix4vvqi.png)


elementaryOS 的主要特点：


* 使用 Pantheon，最优雅的桌面环境之一。
* 支持画中画模式。
* 专门定制的应用中心。


所以，如果你是 macOS 的粉丝，又想体验 Linux，elementaryOS 绝对不会让你失望。


开发者专门为 elementaryOS 开发了 Pantheon 桌面环境，你会注意到它在每个方面都非常注重细节，无论是暗色模式还是强调色彩。你将会在 elementary OS 中获得出色的用户体验。


与其他 Ubuntu 发行版相比，elementaryOS 的发布周期可能不太频繁。但他们在每个版本中都致力于提供稳定的使用体验。

### 6、Zorin OS


![zorin os home screenshot](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145350iel4ym4ya6068eaa.png)


Zorin OS 的主要特点：


* 提供类似于 Windows 和 macOS 的不同布局。
* 能够在不需要任何调整的情况下安装 Windows 软件。
* Zorin OS 的精简版可以让十多年前的计算机重焕生机。


Zorin OS 是另一个基于 Ubuntu 的发行版，为用户提供了精心打磨的体验。其壁纸、用户界面调整和其他改进使 Linux 看起来令人惊艳。


你可以使用其工具 Zorin Connect 无缝集成你的移动设备和计算机，这样你就可以传输文件、控制音频播放，甚至使用移动设备作为触控板！

### 7、Linux Lite


![linux lite](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145351xdd02ng2pgdz02bo.png)


Linux Lite 的主要特点：


* 极为轻量级。
* 使用 Xfce 和 LTS 版本的 Ubuntu，提供稳定的使用体验。
* 易于使用。


所以，如果你正在寻找一个开箱即用的轻量级发行版，那么 Linux Lite 就是为像你这样的用户而设计的。它是最好的（也是最简单的）[类似于 Windows 的 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/) 之一。


稳定性是 Linux Lite 的另一个核心特点，这也解释了为什么它使用 Xfce 作为其桌面环境。

### 8、Voyager


![voyager linux](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145351jttbizzzbti88bxh.png)


Voyager 的主要特点：


* 用户可以在其二合一版本中在 GNOME 和 Xfce 会话之间切换。
* 预先配置了图形用户界面元素和插件，以提供愉快的使用体验。


Voyager 是一个基于 Xubuntu 的 Linux 发行版，在其最新的 22.04 LTS explorer 版本中提供了 GNOME 和 Xfce。


这个发行版从一开始就提供了用户选择。如果你喜欢人体工程学，可以启动 GNOME 会话；或者选择 Xfce 以获得更简单和更快的体验。


Voyager 提供了一个定制外观，带给用户古老而有格调的 Linux 使用体验。


我会向喜欢在不同环境之间切换、寻找定制化体验和稳定性的人推荐使用。

### 9、Feren OS


![feren os screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145352n3xn1wbn0na9tby9.png)


Feren OS 的主要特点：


* 提供一个开箱即用的最小化配置且经过精调的 KDE 使用体验。
* 定制化，但对系统资源占用较低。
* 带有预调优的网络浏览器管理器，以获取更好的体验。


我已经提到了 Zorin OS 如何提供预配置的布局以适应你自己，但它是基于 GNOME 的。那么如果你是 KDE 的粉丝呢？那么 Feren OS 就是为你而设计的！


除了提供预配置的 KDE 使用体验外，Feren OS 的内存占用也令人信服，我给任何想要开始使用基于 KDE Plasma 桌面的 Ubuntu 发行版的人强烈推荐 Feren OS。

### 10、LXLE


![lxle screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202306/19/145353ywdurtqrzteu62zr.png)


LXLE 的主要特点：


* 极其轻量级。
* 几乎整个系统都保持了主题的一致性。


LXLE 是基于 Lubuntu 的，因此你可以想象到它的内存占用会很轻。它是最好的 [轻量级 Linux 发行版之一](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/)。


因此，如果要用一个词来概括整个发行版，那就是“高效”。但这还不止。你还可以获得大量的自定义选项和预安装的壁纸集以适配外观。


当我在虚拟机中使用它时，我对系统的轻盈程度感到惊讶（**空闲时使用 360Mb 的内存**）。对于新的 Linux 用户来说，可能不是一个舒适的体验，但如果你不介意经典的用户界面和各种新东西，那么值得一试。

### 11、UbuntuDDE Remix

UbuntuDDE Remix 的主要特点：


* 深度桌面环境
* 美观的用户界面


你喜欢基于 Debian 的深度 Linux 发行版吗？但是，你对尝试它没有兴趣吗？


嗯，在这种情况下，你可以尝试一下 UbuntuDDE Remix。它虽然不是官方的版本，但是它与基于 Ubuntu 的系统配合得非常好。


与深度 Linux 不同，它并非主要为中国用户定制的。因此，你会发现语言设置和软件源设置比深度 Linux 更好。

### 你理想的基于 Ubuntu 的发行版


Ubuntu 仍然是为新手和高级用户提供易于使用的体验的首选。

If you’re on your journey of finding that perfect distro for your system, the chances of you ending up with Ubuntu-based distros are pretty high.

And, you're maybe wondering why?

Well, it is no surprise that Ubuntu is one of the most [beginner-friendly Linux distros](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-beginners/). It is also incredibly popular, which is why you will also find a massive user community backing it. Not just that, it is also widely used on [cloud servers](https://linuxhandbook.com/free-linux-cloud-servers/?ref=itsfoss.com).

So, having Ubuntu as the base for any Linux distribution should come with useful perks, right?

And that is why I came up with a list of the best Ubuntu-based distros in hopes that you may find something worthy enough to stop you from committing any [deadly sins of distrohopping](https://itsfoss.com/distrohopping-issues/). 😆

## 1. Official Ubuntu Flavors

![a screenshot of budgie desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/09/budgie-desktop-screenshot-2022.png)

If you do not like Ubuntu’s official offering with GNOME, you can try one of the many [official flavors](https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours) that provide a different desktop environment on top of Ubuntu.

In simpler terms, you’re going to get the same Ubuntu experience, but, with a different user interface.

To make your user experience more pleasant, these desktop environments are pre-configured and themed accordingly, making them **the perfect choice if you’re looking for something that works out of the box**.

These are the currently available **official Ubuntu flavors**:

**Kubuntu**(KDE Plasma)**Lubuntu**(The least resource-hungry offering, using LXDE/LXQT)**Ubuntu Studio**(A distro for creators)**Ubuntu Budgie**(Budgie desktop)**Ubuntu Kylin**(Tailored for Chinese users)**Ubuntu Unity**(Unity desktop)**Ubuntu MATE**(MATE desktop and tools)**Xubuntu**(Xfce desktop)

If you were confused about [which Ubuntu version to opt for](https://itsfoss.com/which-ubuntu-install/), our handy guide can be a great resource:

## 2. Linux Mint

![a screenshot of linux mint 21 desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/08/linux-mint-21-home.jpg)

If I had to describe Linux Mint in one line, it would be, “Simple and elegant user experience with enough room for advanced users”.

With Linux Mint’s Cinnamon desktop, you can expect a polished and tailored experience and tools like Timeshift just sweeten the deal further, giving you a seamless experience with everything.

Linux Mint includes the essentials, which include an office suite, a set of applications to satisfy your multimedia consumption needs, and more. These perks make it perfect for beginners.

**Key Features of Linux Mint:**

- Beautiful UI.
- No Snap by default.
- Familiar experience for Windows users.
- Managing codecs and hardware drivers is pretty convenient.
- A straightforward, easy-to-use experience with the Cinnamon desktop environment.

## 3. Pop!_OS

![a screenshot of pop os desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/08/pop-os-screenshot-2022.png)

Developed by System76, a popular open-source hardware manufacturer, Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS is what I preferred to use as my daily driver for a long time, and there’s a strong reason behind it.

**Pop!_OS regularly updates its Linux kernel package**, running Linux kernel 6.6.6 at the time of writing. Yes, I’m aware that you can [easily upgrade to the latest kernel in Ubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/), but having official support is convenient, which is where Pop!_OS excels as an Ubuntu-based distro.

Apart from the latest kernel, you also get a beautiful cosmic desktop, and some preinstalled apps such as Eddy to install deb packages conveniently, apply disk encryption by default, and many other features to have a pleasant experience!

**Key Features of Pop!_OS:**

- Out-of-the-box support for Nvidia graphics.
- Cosmic Desktop (Customized GNOME experience).
- Provides basic functionality of Window manager.
- A recovery partition to revive the system from disasters.

## 4. KDE Neon

![a screenshot of kde neon desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/09/kde-neon-screenshot-2022-1.png)

If you don't want the latest KDE experience, then KDE Neon is not for you. In other words, it is** not tailored as a daily driver but aims to provide the bleeding edge KDE experience**.

It is still one of the best Ubuntu-based distributions if you want to experience KDE’s latest offerings with an Ubuntu base.

There are plenty of other distros based on KDE Plasma; Kubuntu is your best bet if you do not necessarily want the latest experience.

And apart from that, KDE Neon ships with the bare minimum set of preinstalled tools, so users can have enough room to decide what they prefer for specific tasks.

**Key Features of KDE Neon:**

- Gets you the most recent version of KDE Plasma.
- The most vanilla KDE offering with an Ubuntu base.
- Features the latest officially released KDE software package.

## 5. elementary OS

![a screenshot of elementary os desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/09/elementaryos-screenshot-2022.png)

So, you are **a fan of macOS and want to enjoy Linux? **Well, then elementary OS will not disappoint you in any way.

As the developers have developed Pantheon desktop just for elementary OS, you’d notice the attention to detail in every aspect, be it a dark mode or the accent colors. You get a great user experience with elementary OS.

Compared to other Ubuntu distributions, it may not have a fast release cycle. But, they tend to offer a solid experience with every release.

**Key Features of elementary OS:**

- A tailored App Center.
- Has a picture-in-picture mode.
- Uses Pantheon, one of the most elegant desktop environments.

## 6. Zorin OS

![a screenshot of zorin os desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Zorin_OS_17_a.jpg)

Zorin OS is yet another Ubuntu-based distro that **gives you a polished experience**. It makes Linux look stunning with its wallpapers, user interface tweaks, and other changes.

You can **use its Zorin Connect tool to integrate your mobile device and computer seamlessly** so that you can transfer files, control audio playback, and even use the mobile device as a touchpad!

**Key features of Zorin OS**:

- Ability to install Windows software without many tweaks.
- A lite version of Zorin OS can revive a PC over a decade old.
- Different layouts are available, resembling Windows and macOS.

## 7. Linux Lite

![a screenshot of linux lite desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Linux_Lite_6.6_1.png)

If you are **searching for a lightweight distro that just works out of the box**, then Linux Lite is made for users like you. It is one of the best (and simple) [Windows-like Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/) to install.

Stability is another core feature of Linux Lite that explains why it uses Xfce as its main desktop environment.

**Key Features of Linux Lite:**

- Easy to use.
- Extremely lightweight.
- You can expect a stable experience with Xfce and the LTS version of Ubuntu.

## 8. Voyager

![a screenshot of voyager desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Voyager.png)

Voyager is an Ubuntu-based Linux distro that features GNOME and Xfce in its recent [23.10 avatar](https://voyagerlive.org/voyager-23-10/).

The distribution **provides user choice from the get-go**. If you like ergonomics, start a GNOME session or go with Xfce for a simpler and faster experience.

Voyager comes with a customized interface made to feel like an old, classy Linux experience.

I’d recommend this to anyone who loves to switch between environments, is seeking a customized experience, and the stability of Ubuntu.

**Key Features of Voyager:**

- Get regular updates based on the latest Ubuntu releases.
- Users can switch between GNOME and Xfce sessions in its 2-in-1 edition.
- Pre-configured with GUI elements and plugins to have a pleasant user experience.

## 9. Feren OS

![a screenshot of feren os desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/09/feren-os-screenshot-2022.png)

I already mentioned how Zorin OS offers you pre-configured layouts to better suit your preferences, but, it features GNOME. **What if you’re a KDE fan?**

Well, then Feren OS is just the one for you!

Apart from **a pre-configured KDE experience**, the memory footprint was also convincing to have Feren OS on this list. I’d suggest Feren OS to anyone who wants to get started with an Ubuntu-based distro powered by KDE Plasma desktop.

**Key Features of Feren OS:**

- Customized yet quite light on system resources.
- Web browser manager with pre-tweaked browsers for a better experience.
- Gets you a minimally configured and fine-tuned KDE experience out-of-the-box.

## 10. Rhino Linux

![a screenshot of rhino linux desktop with neofetch output and about system info](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Rhino_Linux_2023.4.png)

As the successor to the Rolling Rhino Remix project, Rhino Linux is **an unofficial variant of Ubuntu that tries to provide users with a stable rolling-release experience** that is not really common.

I have yet to try it, but going by the looks of it, it looks like a viable option for those looking for some Arch Linux niceties, but with Ubuntu.

**Key Features of Rhino Linux:**

- A rolling-release distro
- Features the Pacstall package manager.
- Uses a heavily customized version of XFCE.

## 11. UbuntuDDE Remix

![a screenshot of the ubuntudde remix desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/UbuntuDDE_23.04_1.jpg)

Do you like the [Deepin](https://www.deepin.org/index/en) Linux distribution, based on Debian? But, not interested in trying it?

Well, in that case, you can try UbuntuDDE Remix. It is **not an official flavor**, but it works pretty well with Ubuntu at its base.

Unlike Deepin Linux, it is** not primarily tailored for Chinese users**. So, you will find the language settings and the repositories set to the ones that work better than on Deepin Linux.

**Key Features of UbuntuDDE Remix:**

- Beautiful user interface
- A modern control center
- Deepin desktop environment

## What's Your Perfect Ubuntu-based Distro?

Ubuntu remains the dominant choice to provide an easy-to-use experience to newbies and advanced users.
