@RecursiveRabbit debian, and do it anyway, and linux is just the kernel

@RecursiveRabbit MX Linux. People will tell you Ubuntu, but Canonical and M$ backscratch each other all the time. There's a reason W10 got the Unity interface before they got WSL. Also, they'll probably buy them out or own a huge amount of stock when Canonical IPO's. Also, Ubuntu uses GNOME 3 as their desktop environment. The guy in charge of GitHub is a GNOME founder. I think GNOME's anonymous donator was M$. MX Linux is like if Debian & Linux Mint had a baby with custom tools.

@RecursiveRabbit It depends on what kind of hardware you've got. I've done OK with Debian, Ubuntu, Solus, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and even Manjaro.

Other people have been impressed by Deepin, but I haven't tried it myself.

These days I prefer OpenBSD, which isn't Linux at all, but a descendant of BSD UNIX.
