Also Debian. It's rock-solid and just works. Though I have a couple of older machines with Salix OS, and one with Puppy Linux, that served me well for a while. Termux is also good for fooling around on mobile, and Alpine for testing things out in a VM.

Knoppix is a cool distro (and useful!) 

CrunchBang is one of my favorites.  And just plain Debian.  I like the development which has gone into MX Linux also (especially the custom tools).

Ubuntu/Debian. Ohh, and it is NOT GNU/Linux anymore than a new car is Good Year/Ford.


You need those tires to run your car, and you appreciate the quality of the product, but it's still just a Ford.

I've switched to Mint as my main OS (earlier it was Windows 10). I've used a couple of other distros before on a different PC, and so far I like this one

I have only used Debian and Ubuntu. I started with Ubuntu but i was getting irritated with canonical (company that owns ubuntu). I switched to Debian and never looked back. It does everything i need it to do and it is truly open source with very little set up knowledge required. Basically you pick the default choice for everything and you are good to go. I am using 12 and its awesome. No more canonical which is a plus.

i use debian for a home server and it works very well - as a noobie linux user it occasionally gave me some teething issues when it comes to missing dependencies and whatnot but i've overcome every roadblock i ran into so far

later on when windows 10 officially drops support later this year i'm looking into lmde for my main pc to play games on. hopefully it works out well for me!
