“Both distributions aim for a very friendly user-experience and
aim for new users, many of whom are probably migrating from
Microsoft Windows. Also, both aim to include as much relevant
software as possible to make things easier for newbies. Thus, in
this test, I’m going to look for polish throughout the process, the
applications and drivers included, goodies like desktop effects,
clutter (or hopefully a lack thereof), and speed/hardware
footprint.“I’m going to test the live modes of each distribution on a live
USB (made in UnetBootin) plugged into my ASUS U30JC laptop. As both
are based on Ubuntu and have live sessions supposedly
representative of installed sessions, I’m not going to test
installation. In the interest of fairness, I will test Pinguy OS
first, and then see how Linux Mint stacks up afterwards. Continue
reading to see how each distribution fares.”
