My favourite one is Fedora. I like it because it’s clean looking, adhere to free software philosophy, good community and I started my linux journey from here.
My second favourite is Manjaro because it has rolling releases.
My third favourite is Pop OS! As it comes with Nvidia graphics drivers.(in download page it gives an option to do so)
What about you?

Linux Mint 19.2

I’ve tried Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, Pop Os and Almost all flavours in my decade old laptop

Finally settled with Mint xfce 19.2 which is the only version that doesn’t make my laptop Roar.

I do personally like Mint Cinnamon, but my laptop’s specification hinders me a lot

for ‘enterprise’ use.. within Linux distros.. yes, it is definitely worth the support costs and price. that’s why mentioned it here https://www.desidime.com/discussions/what-s-you...

Bhai I have used linux sometimes in the past but currently sticking to windows only. i do know basic stuff about linux though mainly for the purpose of running commands on seedboxes as they run a customised version of linux.

Manjaro is based on it bhai. So, technically yes. But I have not installed Arch/Gentoo straight on my machine.

As of now trying Zorin OS.

Various flavors of Puppy Linux. Very lightweight ranging from under 100MB to 300MB. As a result almost the entire OS can reside in RAM even in systems with as low as 256MB RAM. Blazing fast. RAM usage is very low of course 100-250MB odd.
One big advantage is that it doesn’t need an HDD/SSD to function. Came in very handy when the HDD in my first laptop died and I had to wait for a month to get the right drive at the right price. When booted in Live mode, user changes can be saved to a USB drive but also to CD/DVD (multi-session)

Fedora was my fav too…ubuntu is the go-to guy for dealing with any hdd/ram mess. And as most of my time is on my work laptop, it is Windows.

Xubuntu (ubuntu with XFCE desktop). Looks and feels like good old Win XP with all the benefits of Ubuntu. Most suited for someone switching from Windows.

Due to software that I need to use for work, I have to stick with Windows but now-a-days many software now support Linux Versions as well.

for Old laptops, low configuration PCs, I use Lubuntu .. works great.
Used Linux Mint, Ubuntoo, Zorin etc.. but now-a-days, I am ok with Windows Only. I get my things done. Apart from this, bachche school me Windows / Office he study karte hain hai to better get stick with Windows.

Using Linux Mint for more than 2 years now. Currently running 19.3 Mate version. The best thing for general population IMHO.

Have used Ubuntu in the past. Don’t like it now.

I used to roll a new distro every couple of months, eventually settled with Primary as Manjaro, secondary MX Linux and Puppy installed on the flash drive and stores my saves in an additional partition on the hard drive.
