My top 5 distros for October 2019
Re: My top 5 distros for October 2019
With how well Arch (& Debian) work with the WiFi 6 adapters vs. Neon (& all *buntu), Neon and Arch will be swapping positions for me.

Hardware support with Zorin, Mint and Neon so far has been excellent but my newest hardware is 5 years old.

Yeah, the Wifi 6 cards are REALLY new, requiring 5.1 kernel which isn't available in most *buntu's unless you compile it yourself, or install from upstream.

Mint and Zorin both use a version of the 5.0 kernel but both had these versions available well ahead of Ubuntu. Not sure which kernel Ubuntu 19.10 is using but Im going to guess its at least the 5.1 kernel. Mageia 7.1 is presently using the 5.1 kernel.

Ive been looking at the Beta and I believe they had 5.2 when I tried it.

Yeah, probably did. 5.3 hasn't been out overly long (I think 2 weeks now, maybe 3).
