which Distro is the best?

Well fuck Debian apparently
- If Torvalds himself said it wasn't worth installing, the average user shouldn't sign up for the misery of stock debian.
  
  Wasn't his experience from like 25 years ago?
Does anyone have the original of Gayku? I want to trigger some rednecks.
- I do not, but I like your motivation. I isolated him as best I could from the source image
There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.
Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.
- The truth is that you failed to mention the distributions derived from the openSUSE project.
  
  Very fair. Forgot about OpenSuse. Thank you.
- I can understand missing Chimera Linux, but how could you forget Alpine?
  Or how about þe venerable
  or þe current fad
  Þat's at least 9 distros wiþ no common ancestor... no, 10, b/c Slackware.
  
  Fair. I suppose adding on Slackware, OpenSuse, and NixOS is in order, as they each have their own package management solutions, which to me is the discerning factor for most of the base distributions. That said Gobo Linux is a weird one I've simply not heard of until now. Thanks for the heads up.
- Add on Solus too. It is an independent distro.
Ah, the zoomer distributions /s
Aurora mentioned 👀
It's basically Bazzite but not for gaming. Batteries included and immutable/atomic. Easier to use than Fedora Kinoite IMO.
I use Aurora btw.
rainbow goku Unironically goes hard
On my old MacBook, I have Fedora. On my work laptop and gaming PC, I have Nobara. On my home server I have Ubuntu server.
There is no best distro. You should try a few and find one that suits you. If you want something that just works and is relatively stable, go for Fedora. And if you have some peripherals or devices that require proprietary drivers, like Nvidia GPU, broadcom wifi, then go for Nobara.
Mint and Pop_OS are also good.
- Suse Linux is dropping tears...
Best is relative.
