    You should not try to find Linux ditro running your Mircosoft Office and Games. It will not be. Because best part of Linux is done with out a GUI.

    i am a Windows user and also developing windows base applications.
    so i used to work with window since ever,and pretty much familiar with it, i want to know what is the Suitable Linux os for a native Windows user like me.
    Don't tell Ubuntu i just don't like it, there are few options i need a help to choose one,

    Linux Mint , Fedora , PCLinuxOS ..

    Linux Mint has good software support. it based on Ubuntu and Debian and as user friendly as Ubuntu. If you just don't like unity in Ubuntu check Ubuntu GNOME.:yes: Fedora is also good it base on Redhat.:yes:

    describe your intended usage on linux. That'll make it easy to suggest a distro.
    The core linux components are the same in all distros so its basically the cosmetic changes that each user group likes about that distro.

    FAQ and everything in 如调整grub的默认启动系统 ne ban :(
    unfortunately yes ban. Its a Chinese distro. but the most eye candy distro i have ever seen :yes:
    I personally recommend you to use either ubuntu or ubuntu varient like Mint. I have been using ubuntu since 8.04 Hardy. And never went back to use Windows
    I have used Mint too. But its really not in my favour. May be it will work for you :P

    it' like this, if i get a proper platform for .net in Linux i can totally change,
    but i believe it is not the way.. other than that i want to continue with linux while study about Linux base stuff.
    As a conclusion still i compare other OS with windows because it is user friendly to me except Compatibility,speed,Flexibility and Freedom.

    There's no linux distro thats 100% compatible with .net. No point in even trying to bother with that. Mono will always be several large steps behind .net and unless MS drastically change their OS architecture, thats the way its going to stay.

    Studying linux base stuff means working on the command line. Any distro will do for that and depending on what you're learning (Red hat certification, etc,) the choice of distro will have to change.

    Red Hat based distros, Debian based distros, Mandriva based distros, Slackware based distros and Suse linux (even though its rpm based)has several major changes in :
    1. Package management system
    2. Kernel hardening configuration
    3. Network configuration system

    Which is better ? there's no clear answer to that. Its like asking which color is better.

    For me, coming from 8+ years on MS platforms (starting from MS-DOS), I found Debian's structure is the easiest for me to use and I'm most comfortable in Debian servers as well as Debian based derivatives for desktops. However, this is MY PERSONAL CHOICE. YMMV.

    From my experience in working with several distros :-
    For standard basic home & office desktop users, the best choices are OpenSuse, PCLinuxOS or Suse Enterprice and Mandriva Linux (both paid versions).

    For general user enthusiasts: Linux Mint, PCLinuxOS, Hanthana Linux

    For advance users : Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora

    For geeks : Slackware,Debian,Fedora
