Which linux distro do you like best?
People generally have mixed opinions about Linux distributions. Many appreciate their flexibility and open-source nature, while others find them complex or less user-friendly.
It wasn't on the list, but I discovered Manjaro is really impressive.
Challenging to provide a clear response. I'm running on Debian, which is important for server reliability. In our workplace we rely on CentOS for similar goals. On my personal setup I use Antergos (Arch) since it meets my requirements best, not because it's inherently superior.
Over the years, I moved away from Ubuntu-based systems after realizing they weren’t worth the hassle. I settled on PopOS because it’s easy to set up and hasn’t caused any issues yet. Later, I considered rolling release distributions such as openSUSE Tumbleweed, but performance issues with my 3970X and GPUs forced me back to a more stable option.
not included on the list, but galliumOS is indeed a distro designed for ChromeOS devices like chromebooks and Chromeboxes. It’s built from Xubuntu and while it has some issues, it remains lightweight. Installation is straightforward using chrx, and you can set up a dual-boot system for ChromeOS applications.
I primarily rely on Debian-based systems. Occasionally I switch to Ubuntu and use Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi for server tasks. I believe Debian receives the most support from mainstream apps that genuinely focus on Linux.
I've enjoyed the top performance from Linux Mint. It's simple to tailor and works perfectly for my needs (light gaming and office tasks). The community forums have been very helpful too. They also released a Debian-based variant just in case Ubuntu changes its direction.
