From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the question is made badly. For most distros it comes down to personal preference. You could make a best and worst for each category. For example beginner friendliness: best Mint worst LFS. Distros like Ubuntu with weird stuff going on can still be best for you if it otherwise covers your needs. The worst distro overall is probably some random, no longer supported distro without active repos. The overall best I find is EndeavorOS. It has a good combination of user friendliness and advanced stuff.
