Free Operating System

After a lot of OS testing and reading, I conclude as below:

a) BSD and Arch Based Distributions are still not made for all machines and all users. The concept and appeal is really great, but they are not deployable on a productive mode by an average end users like us.

b) Sabayon is the only usable Gentoo Linux. The OS has some consistency issues and is not giving the same response.

c) Novel Inc 's Open-Suse or Self Made Suse Builds offer lot of features, yet the performance is not up-to the mark and hence not advisable to be deployed unless we know what we are doing. Mandriva Based Distributions, CENT-OS and its derivatives are also following the suit of Suse, in the sense, they also do not have consistent performance.

d) Fedora is the most reliable multi-use free Operating System, however the end user would be pissed off with the updates, shortest life cycle and increasingly poor kernels.

e) Ubuntu offers the most features and windows like experience. However the consistency is missing and that's why it paved way for more popular derivatives. More-over soon Ubuntu would become a paid OS.

f) Best of Ubuntu Derivatives - Linux Mint MATE Edition, Zorin OS, Pear-OS and Linux Deepin. I consider Linux Mint MATE as the best deployable solution - it can cater to all the users. Because of speed, security and better applications, I am staying with Fedora, but if I have to look for all aspects, then Linux Mint is the best OS.

g) Live Boot or Rescue Linux - Bodhi Linux, Puppy Linux, Slitaz Linux and Porteus are the best live boot or rescue linux. I prefer Puppy Linux as it is best in terms of live/persistent mode performance.

Over-all Conclusion:

Any application comes with lot of compromises and as well as promises. Open Source is no exception. I after analysing more than 72 Free Open Source Based Operating System conclude that there is no one best Free OS at any point of time.

Main Requirement	Best OS	Compromise to Make
Computational Power with more Security & Futuristic Applications	Fedora	Too Many Updates and un-avoidable Bad Kernel Upgrades disturbing hardware performance
Ease of Use	Linux Mint MATE Edition	Little Slow, Inconsistent Performance and Older Applications
Windows Compatibility Or Windows Environment	Zorin OS	Really not a complete OS. The OS has more problems if updated. It is better not to use the Terminal
Mac Look	1. Linux Deepin 2. Pear OS 3. Pin-Guy-OS	Linux Deepin and Pear OS performs better than Pin-Guy-OS. Pin-Guy-OS has more applications and all applications works on the OS. Linux Deepin has some problems with Remmina & other applications
Once for all installation with no frequent meddling of the OS & Apps	1. PC-Linux-OS 2. Sabayon 3. Manjaro	Not for all machines, printing support missing at times and inconsistent performance.
Computational Power Networking, Printing, Browsing and Best Media oriented Applications Hardware Compatibility Windows & Mac Compatibility Peripheral Devices Compatibility Mobile & Other devices connectivity	NIL	There is no single Free OS which gives all these in a satisfactory way. There is always one or the other issue.

Therefore now after some maturity, I would tell if you are lazy go for Mint and have time and energy go for Fedora.

Ubuntu, CENT-OS, Open-Suse, Suse Builds, Sabayon, Manjaro, PC-BSD, PC-Linux-OS, Mageia, ROSA and others are not reliable as on date. Let's wait and watch how the developers make it more refined. But I feel I have wasted enough time on Linux and BSD and hence would like not to work on these lines any more.

Since the topic came today, I just want to put things in writing in a clear way.
