The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.

I'm a simple man, but I love Fedora

We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.

It depends on who’s asking. But if it’s someone who is curious about Linux, it’s always Mint.

I use Nyarch, btw.

Your a Linux user?

What's the best distribution of Windows?

Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

The best distribution is always the one you currently use. All others are trash.

Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

I thought that it's a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

You don't need to ask, because they will tell you their thoughts regardless.

Just switched to NixOS recently, after years on LMDE.

Hannah Montana Linux, btw

Excuse me sir or madam, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior NixOS?

It’s NixOS

Don't forget Biebian

I made this mistake once and every comment was a different distro, they were all upvoted, and everyone was saying good things about all of them.

I just went with Ubuntu.

oh god I'd be so so happy if someone asked me that! Whenever I say i use Linux people look at me funny 😭

Cant take EndeavourOS from me.

i only use this linux

My favourite Linux is the kernel

There is a slight difference there. You don't ask the first two because social norms have pressured those groups to focus on those elements to unhealthy levels, so asking is, on a certain level, disrupting the peace of the other person by touching a sensitive area. The third is not. The third is poking your own peace because whether they have an extreme loyalty to one or a nuanced understanding of why different ones are better suited to different use cases, you are about to be talked at for an hour about it.

Red Star OS!

That's easy, it's Debian

Devuan GNU+Linux with sysvinit

it is OBJECTIVELY linux mint. Why? Because.

this comment was written on June 2025. So as of this day Mint is fabulous. And if I were to save a single distro from a burning building of all the popular distros, i would grab mint twice.

I know I know, there are many good distros, even texhnically better ones. But having used Mint as a secondary dual boot to my primary Windows, I have felt that Mint has been least annoying and actually worth retaining and updating and maintaining.

Pretty much any distro can do any of the things Windows/Mac users are hoping a computer can do. So just pick one and stick with it. Once you're familiar with Linux, the benefits/drawbacks of each distro will become clearer, and you'll be able to make an informed decision. People will tell you "Arch is more lightweight than Mint" but compared to Windows/MacOS, all Linux distros are going to feel blazingly fast and lightweight. The only decent advice is, if you are just starting out and you have an Nvidia GPU, use a distro that sets that up for you automatically. It's not super complicated to set up, but it's definitely going to feel like a foreign experience the first time.
