Windows and macos are ok for average consumers. Browsing, some office work and other day to day usage. That’s it. They are dumbed down systems that ensure that anybody can use them.
But when it comes to power users, only Linux offers the customization capabilities, advanced features, performance and literally, full control over your system.
But there are hundreds of Linux distros. Don't know which one to choose?
You’ve come to the right place my friend because today, I’m presenting the 5 best Linux distributions for software professionals.
As a software developer myself, I’ve tried and tested so many Linux distros. I’ve compared the pros and the cons, checked out the features that make certain distros more suitable in development environments and I’ve curated this list of the top 5 Ultimate Linux distros for software developers.

From beginner-friendly options to advanced systems with endless customization, these Linux distributions are tailor-made for programmers of all levels. I’m not exaggerating when I say,
they'll revolutionize the way you work and boost your productivity to the max!

So buckle up, and get ready to meet your new favorite Linux distro.

Thank you so much for your videos. It helps a lot. You are one of the best linux blogger 😊

Arch, really? Remove it from your mind that developers want to customize every aspect of their system. More often than not, they don't have time for that. They want something that works without getting in their way.

I appreciate what were you trying to say, but I feel like you have barely mentioned any difference between the distributions in context of productivity. I even dare to say, only thing you mentioned was tiling mode in Pop OS. Other than that, you just did an overview of 5 different distributions.

You can barely describe anything regarding the productivity, if you pick 5 distros with Gnome DE. I believe, when it comes to productivity, it comes down to the DE you pick.

One exception here is Pop OS, since they do custom stuff. That is why I'm glad you mentioned their tilling mode. But this was the only productivity point for me. This video should have been more focused on this type of points.

It's not a bad video, but I just don't think it has anything to do with the title of it. Talking about productivity needs much more than just general overview of the distro.

i will always suggest linux mint over ubuntu

[SilverFoxww]

Linux Mint is not in top 5? Strange. Ubuntu is good. But the best Ubuntu is Linux Mint.

Where's Linux Mint?! It's the most stable distro I've ever used

[bhutchin]

I used Mint for over a year and I recommend it for those switching over from Windows or Mac. I've been using Sparky for a while and it's a happy medium between pure Debian and Ubuntu. It's fairly lightweight too. Truth is, many distros are good for development. For me stability is the most important, so I wouldn't use Arch for development. Mint and Sparky don't force updates on you, which is one thing I despised Windows for.

Lol 😂 so sick of seeing these types of videos on YouTube. There is no best distro on Linux for programming. Do you have a terminal and text editor? Guess what!?!?! You can now start programming! There's no Linux distro that you can't start coding on! Stop this uneducated insanity...

[astokum]

I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon. It is great os for me. 🎉

[StrikerEureka]

as a developer, i agree. i have 2 computers I use. one with Pop!_OS and the other one with Fedora. They are great for working.

[sprtwlf]

Always like this channel videos. Very good info. Good speaker

[dukanet]

I used Arch but switched to Opensuse TW.
Opensuse is better in my opinion

[farhanghazali]

Arch is certainly NOT for developers. Developers want to code AND not customize their OS

[Devonux]

I use Fedora KDE on my desktop will probably use OpenSuse on my laptop still deciding.

[prativerse]

Hmm You forgot the best linux distro i.e. linux mint, have been using linux mint xfce for last 4 years, Other than gaming, this os is a 100% complete replacement for windows. The best linux distro i have ever used.

[mirage]

If I ever have need to change from Garuda then I'll probably try a vanilla arch linux distrubution.

[khaledsaeed]

What is the best Linux distribution among all the distributions, an alternative to “Windows” for beginners, in general, according to your use and opinion?? What is the most protected and secure distribution??

[imran]

There is only 3 distro fedora, debian and arch we can element any desktop enviroment to any distro every distro can be customized to desired look

[TerriTerriHotSauce]

Best Linux distros for developers are the immutable distros because they are more stable. I like Nitrux, Fedora Silverblue snd Vannilla OS.
