Distro recommendation

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I like to go with Fedora MATE spin as I find it resource friendly.
and I use compiz as my window manager to have a very robust features and
some eye candy features as well.

Fedora move fast and have a short release cycle (6 month),
so having to deal with new stuff each 6 month can be a burden for someone
how just want his computer to work.
in that case I'll recommend a distro which is based on Ubuntu LTS e,g
Ubuntu MATE.

MATE desktop dose not support HiDPI display yet, unlike KDE and Gnome3
but if you prefer to use KDE, both Fedoa and Ubuntu have a spin of it.

there is also KDE neon which uses a stable base of the OS (Ubuntu LTS IIRC),
and all the KDE stuff are coming directly from upstream (rolling)
