<p>Although not mentioned very often, openSUSE is also a user
friendly, stable and high quality distro. I am a user since 2005
and have seldom had any problem in all those years. As for QGIS
and other geotools there is the Application:Geo repository that is
well updated and maintained. My choice however is to compile QGIS
from source every once in a while. It is not so difficult as it
sounds but perhaps not everyone's cup of tea.</p>

I moved from Win to Linux about a year ago. I tried<br>
Ubuntu first. Due to difficulties installing QGIS<br>
I moved to Mint, which worked immediately from the<br>
software manager with an older version if I remember<br>
correcly. I worked quite a while on installing QGIS<br>
on Ubuntu because I really wanted to use Ubuntu.<br>

The desktop will probably need to stay on Windows because
of the other stuff. I don’t want a dual boot.<br>
