The Best Linux Distro for You

Idk what to expect out of these comments. The Linux community is a rather fickle one. But anyway... take a shot every time I say “solid” lol.
As you can tell, I'm not too passionate about telling other people what distro they should use. It's really all personal preference but I hope I shed some light on how to go about picking the right Linux Distro for you.
In short, I recommend Ubuntu (Debian-based). Or if you want an Arch Linux-based distro, then Manjaro. These are solid for beginners and experts alike. There are also a few distros I mentioned if you want the familiarity of Windows. Feel free to comment your recommendation below and why you recommend it for beginners.

YouTube, please don't ban or shadowban me. I learned how to do this from your own docs.
Lol thanks.

As someone who has used most of the distros mentioned in the video: It doesn't matter. Seriously. Just pick a well supported distro unless you really know what you're doing and you'll be fine.
All a distribution does is give you some flexibility with the combinations of core packages that it comes bundled with. Some distros like Arch allow you to customize your install more and allow you cherry pick the precise combination of packages you want. But once the install is done, there is nothing an Arch machine can do that an Ubuntu or Mint setup cannot. If you write code, you can compile your code just fine on any distro.

If you know exactly what combination of packages you want, install arch and customize away. If not, pick from the top 3-4 distros and stick with the one that you think looks cool. It literally doesn't matter beyond that.

As the saying goes, the best Linux distros are the friends we find along the way.

Make a history video on Linux, GNU, GNU/Linux, all of 'em! There's a lot of stuff to touch on and it's very interesting imo.

I used Ubuntu for a Year, then switched to Debian and realised distributions don't really make much difference (visually) except for package manager in some case, its the desktop Environment which really makes a significant difference.
I liked Gnome but KDE gives more customization therefore I use Debian KDE.
I wonder if a new Linux user would be able to spot the difference between Ubuntu and Debian Gnome or Kubuntu and Debian KDE.
You should make a Video Explaining the Differences between Distributions (by itself) and make a separate video on Desktop Environments

I use Debaby Linux mostly because of how it goes "Les when it starts up

I am in my sophomore year of my CS degree, I literally live off of these vids. Thanks Jesus

MF has a 2000 series GPU just sitting on a shelf, that's a hard flex

Bang on Solid video and content, been a lifelong windows user and recently switched to Manjaro and loving it, its a learning curve but im enjoying the process! Also had a second old laptop lying around and installed Zorin XFCE and also loving this Linux thing and learning alot too!! Great channel!! Thanks

[destroyonload]

The one that let's me say
"I use Arch by the way"

[julienfrancesc]

you deserve more subscribers... this is quality content. it’s about time that people in general become more educated on linux distros! also, never shave that stash off.

[nasimulislam]

I use pop_os the reasons are simple, I use a laptop that has integrated and nvidia graphics, and I need something that I know won't have any issues with stability.

[patrickgold]

Been trying to decide on where to start out, as I am procrastinating on finding my flash-drive to actually be able to install it. But now I am definitely going for the arch version that is noob-friendly. Build from there. Thanks Jesus.

[shinsoku]

temple os is really beginner friendly and is superior to other Linux distros because of the design. It's just plug and play and basicly installs itself on your pc without you having to do anything. Simply amazing

[TopHatCat]

I actually started my Linux journey on Linux Mint Cinnamon, but it didn't have everything I needed as a gamer, and I was not willing to go back to W10, so I've been using Manjaro KDE for the last six months, mostly for the more updated kernel, but not so bleeding edge that it causes more headaches than necessary. So far it's been stable and any program that has stalled at least hasn't forced me to restart my computer.

[uzKantHarrison]

I have used nothing but Manjaro in the last 5 years. Never had serious issues with software updates that I couldn't solve in 10 minutes with the wiki. And the i3 flavour is just amazing

[bkbrinton]

Thanks Forrest, I love your videos so much. I'm probably going to switch from Ubuntu to Manjaro. I've been thinking about it for a while
