What distro(s) do you use?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can just install cinnamon on Ubuntu if you can figure out your driver issues.
I know I can install cinnamon on Ubuntu but like I said, I want to use a more optimized OS, so it would be better if I just switched to a different distro that's also compatible with cinnamon or something similar. I'm actually thinking about using Lubuntu, assuming it functions like an optimized version of Ubuntu but with LXQt as it's DE.
Also, the drive issues was with Porteus and not Ubuntu. The WiFi adapter works fine with Ubuntu but on porteus, it would load the driver into the kernel but then not use it for some reason. When I looked into it, people said it was an issue with the driver not being compatible but Porteus was trying to use the same driver that Ubuntu uses, so I don't know what else to do but at the same time I'm probably not going to try using Porteus again. Just in general, Porteus seems way to complicated for me to use, at least at this moment in time.
