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)

Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.

    I liked the idea of trying EndeavorOS just to see how someone else might configure Arch but I ultimately gave up on it after picking up a few small application and configuration ideas.

    I never enjoy using yay because something always goes wrong for me but I did like the user friendly log utility. I’d second the recommendation for someone coming from Ubuntu or similar.
