What is you favourite Linux distro?

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, because that's what my neural network programming is built on

Ubuntu or mint. 

 

Easy to use, wide support.

They’re both basically the same from my shallow experience. I like mint because it resembles windows nicely.

Mint because i hate the standard UI in ubuntu and im too lazy to customise it when its not my full time OS

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Manjaro is my personal fav.

I second Manjaro! 

It has rapidly raised in popularity over the last couple of years and it's community has grown with it.

 

For me ubuntu always felt outdated, and having "updates" was a joke (mostly security updates, you're stuck to old versions of everything, your best bet to get actually new features is ~once a year and that required pretty much a re-installation of the system).

Manjaro is a Leading Edge rolling release distribution, feels WAY MORE fresh and brings in many nice-to-haves of the Arch family, while improving stability and making everything way simpler from installation to package management, to kernel management.

I'm not saying it is an install and forget scenario... you might have to mess around with configs etc from time to time, but this helps you understand your system way better.

Also, since it is closely related to Arch, almost all (if not exactly all) information of the AMAZING Arch wiki is applicable, so expect to be able to solve any issues if you can search, read and follow directions ;)

And for anything that might be an exception to the above, the Manjaro community is (in my personal opinion) way more friendly and willing to help than Arch, where (I don't blame them, that's their target group and their "vision"(?) ) you are expected to have gone through the entire Arch wiki before even thinking of making a question :P .

 

In my entire 3 years of experience with Manjaro, I have only had an issue once and was able to resolve it with a live usb and a search of "Manjaro <error_message>".

Overall experience has always felt nicer than Ubuntu, which has for long been the de facto go-to for new Linux users.

Weird... ? 

Are you referring to stable branch?

Mint 17.3 MATE for me. I just love how light weight and snappy it is. Boots up and shuts down in a flash.

 

I settled on Mint since I was coming from a Windows environment, and Mint felt like the most natural choice.

Running Ubuntu 18.04 currently. I prefer to stick to an LTS to LTS OS flow for stability.  

For the screen is blue and full of errors.

I'm torn between Arch and Gentoo. I suppose I lean more Arch for the AUR. Yet Portage is pretty slick.
