What is the best linux distro for someone, who wants a very minimalistic but good looking OS?
I will use it mainly to develop Websites, Web Applications and Java/C++ projects.

Arch, Gentoo or Crunchbang. Maybe Debian with LXQt.

this.

Elementary. Seriously. For minimalism and looking sleek out of the box it's perfect. Also Ubuntu based so all development tools are in the repos.

Different people have different definitions of what 'minimal' means.
As much as I liked Slackware running blackbox, its not that great for doing webdev work. Gnome 3 on the other hand is really a nice platform for work.

You still need a beefy machine for Gnome 3. It's god awful on my convertable (Asus T100) and that's what I bring to college for notes and development and actally end up using most. Kinda sucks if your DE lags on every workspace swap.

I don't doubt that, I have no problems with it but I'm running it on a desktop with 16GB of memory and a R9 280.
Still, it never seems to be eating more than 2GB of RAM even with web browsers running so I don't think its that demanding.
>>51428370
Well yeah, I have 2GB of RAM and atom graphics. Not like it doesn't work, it just doesn't work well.
>>51428437
My phone has more RAM than that. PCs today with less than 4 are just a rip off. Can you open it up and upgrade the memory? That's as much as my old EEE had and I ran a special minimal distro on that.

Nope, it's a tablet with a keyboard that locks onto it to make something close to a netbook. No reasonable way to replace any components. Got it 2 years ago for 300€ tho so I can't complain too much. Battery lasts for like 10 hours tho so perfect for carrying around and the proc is actually the newer generation of atom and quad core, so it's reasonable with day to day tasks. Manages an IDE or two, chrome plus a few instances of evince just fine. Hell it even runs WoW through Wine with like 20 FPS. So I ain't cmplaining too much, it just can't get together a smooth Gnome experience tho.
