I'm wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

I, too, get my coffee from the rolling bistro.

Same. Tumbleweed here. All the benefits of the rpm ecosystem but with less hassle and more updates

OpenSUSE for me too.

I also switched family & friends to Thimbleweed (since a bit too snappy Ubuntu) & it's been great.

I should think so too. A Thimbleweed sounds an excellent plant for an Evil_Shrubbery.

My evil plans have been discovered!!

Regardless the evil plant army must grow. Rolling thimbleweeds are usually our scouts and assassins (rarely kamikaze when on fire, looks cool tho).

What I'm saying is that you better be on the lookout, maybe hide if you see a thimbleweed with a gun or knife.

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.
