So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:

  • Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
  • Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.

For example:

  • Distro (first-level comment)
    • Reason (one answer)
    • Other reason (a different answer)

We’re looking to create a comprehensive list of the most popular Linux distributions and the reasons why people use them. Please don’t duplicate options.

    I love that you talked about regretting it. Using one of the arch-based diaries that obfuscates the installation process honestly destroys a lot of the benefit of using arch. Having to vaguely understand how the system fits together makes fixing issues a million times easier.

      Yep. And I still forgot to mention one thing. It is a 2016 Macbook Pro, which basically means just more work fixing.
