It works, has the packages I need and they are up-to-date
-
Nobara: It works well most of the time and has pretty much everything needed for gaming preinstalled. I had a bad update once that prevented booting past the command line though. Now that I'm more experienced I'd probably use a more mainline distro and install the gaming stuff myself.
-
Mine's the best, because it fits with what I want. Might not be your best, but it's mine.

How about Qubes? if you have the specs, you get sandboxes (VMs) and all distros are available into 1. Heck, you can even have windows VMs...
And if you don't have the specs, just use any linux and install distrobox (docker) !
-
An alternative to distrobox is toolbx
-
-
I'm convinced it isn't.
-
Because it lets me use a list of packages instead of needing to remember what to install, has every package I need and let's me use them without installing them, and has a good rollback system to go along with cutting edge packages.
-
Void made Linux fun again for me. It gets so much right with the rolling release model.
-
I use Arch, btw, but I don't consider it the best (yes I do.) I could easily transition to Fedora, for example (I would never do that,) and be completely happy (I would rather continually hit my head with the metal stapler gun on my desk.)
-
Does what I want and gets out of my way.

Bazzite just works, it runs every game I have with zero fuss, it's easy to run Windows programs / emulators / local LLMs, AND it's basically unbreakable.
-
I can't claim it's the best, but it's the best for me right now.
-
On a gaming laptop I'm using Aurora because KDE Plasma btw (:

Debian. It works so well that I never even looked at different distros during the last 20 years or so...
-
To each its own in accordance to their needs. Debian is great unless you want to add proprietary stuff like GPUs. That's the whole reason so many distros (e.g. Ubuntu) raised to fame and gained popularity while being based on Debian... That, and the fact that until recently Debian installation guide was not updated and called to download an ISO to be burned in 1-2 CDs... that was so f*ing unclear. Of course you can use a pendrive, but if the guide talks about CDs... that's just confusing to newbies. None pointed that out, but to me is like being even less friendly than Arch :P Just my opinion. That said, I have been using Debian based distros for most of my time, even today (desktop PC with MX 'ahs'.)

Mint is Ubuntu minus everything that makes Ubuntu annoying. That's why I like it.
I considered to go back to Debian but... eh, I'm too old and impatient for that. Nowadays I mostly want things that work out of the box.
-
Do things not work out of the box on debian?

I've been enjoying EndeavourOS over the past three years. It works wonderfully out of the box at default settings, and was really easy for me to use and set up to my liking with minimal know-how needed.
It also works really well on the variety of machines I have in my home. My desktop, modded Chromebook, and my husband's laptop.
It's allowed me to get more familiar and confident with the command line, and enough so that I've switched to Sway from XFCE (and previously KDE).
-
This week alone I've used Arch, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, and Fedora. Its Arch. By a short way, and mostly thanks to the wiki. Tbh they are all converging, and I go with KDE variants when I use a GUI and no distro does too much to customise it
-
I don't know that it is objectively the best - but its the best fit for me right now (LMDE).

Hannah Montana Linux

No further arguments needed.

-
It's extremely stable, and countless other distros are derived from this.
-
openSUSE Slowroll and Secureblue are my favorites ATM. Slowroll for gaming, Secureblue for mobile device. Both are hardened for security because that matters to me.
