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

Kali Linux! Just too useful, though there can still be some fixing around.

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.

The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don’t want something else. Now I’m just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I’m not a fan of endless parentheses)

Manjaro KDE for me - it’s not Arch per se, otherwise Ubuntu would also be eliminated for being a derivative of Debian…

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.
