@InternetPirate I've been happy with Ubuntu since 2007, I don't always like Canonical's choices, but they're easily changed. Recently tried Vanilla OS, easy install and seems solid, good alternative to Nix I think.

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.

Manjaro, it's just very stable, has access to the AUR, actually looks good and feels like a modern OS should feel.

Manjaro. I love it's simplicity and ease of use. It's the closest I can get to Windows without actually using Windows. I'm glad it makes using an Arch distro easy and accessible. KDE is a godsend as well.
Arch.
I don't love it, like at all. But it's the least buggy and easiest to use one I've tried.
I really wish there was a simple plug and play, everything just works and doesnt break on updates distro.
-- Debian Testing
- Debian packaging
- Rolling
- Newer than Stable
- Debian Free Software Guidelines ( DFSG)
- Good support of old systems and random architectures.
Another vote for Pop OS. I was already somewhat familiar with Ubuntu, and the nvidia drivers included in Pop as well as its gaming support drew me to it. It's worked very well for the most part.
