[Beddingfield, Allen]

I have been using openSUSE Leap with XFCE as my desktop for a long time.  I'm very happy with it.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ale] Suggestion for a Good Linux/Desktop

All,

I have been using Linux Mint with Cinnamon Desktop for the past few years as my daily driver. I am able to get most of the things. But there are a few times the Cinnamon Desktop just freezes and crashes while I am in the middle of some work. This kind of throws me off. I have tried most of the tricks on the LM forums and nothing leads me to a proper solution.

Now that, I am thinking of switching to some simple and clean desktop that does not crash on me. I had to use Mac for my work, so I will be switching between my Mac and Linux on a daily basis.  I had customized my Cinnamon to look and behave like Mac and was successful to an extent that I could manage.

Is there a recommendation for a distro/desktop that would help me?
