Get Linux Mastery Express:

The world of Linux distributions is ever evolving and changing. New Linux distros come and some old ones fade away. And some distributions just rock it with new features and improvements.

But the choice is always there. You can choose between more than a hundred Linux distributions, each one offering its own unique features and an unique experience.
But With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult at times to choose the perfect distro for you.
So today, I bring to you, 7 fantastic distributions that are the best out of the best. I’ve tried and tested a long list of Linux distributions and curated a list of 7 top distros, focusing on the features they offer, stability, security, user friendliness and what kind of an experience you get out of them.
This video will help you make an informed decision on your next operating system, and I’ve included some hidden gems in there, so lets jump right in.

I've used about a dozen different distros over the past 25+ years (Red Hat, Knoppix, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, etc.), but when I purchased a refurbished notebook 8 years ago, I immediately got rid of Windows and installed Mint. The desktop my son put together for me a couple years ago is also running Mint. Love it. I was both surprised and pleased at how quickly and easily it installed my wireless printer without having to configure anything. The Mint desktop also runs my Steam games as well or even better than Windows did.

I can't put my finger on it exactly, but I keep coming back to Linux Mint Cinnamon which I installed first over a decade ago. While I have used a number of distros, Mint just seems to be everything I need without headaches. Recently downloaded and installed VanillaOS, but I decided it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I have tried Zorin and I think it is very good, but it hasn't been able to pull me away from Mint. You do a good job on these videos; Well Done!

I honestly do not understand people who talk trash about other distros and only say mine is the only good, so I find these videos refreshing. For me, it's all GNU/Linux no matter the distro. All are great ☺️☺️☺️

I've had a ton of fun trying different distros! At the end of the day, I think I've settled on Ubuntu and Fedora as neck-and-neck competitors. Fedora is great for newer hardware especially with frequent kernel updates, but from a software compatibility standpoint Ubuntu is just a bit better. Independent distros on the other hand bring new features I didn't know I even wanted like with VanillaOS's immutability. At the end of the day, it's nice to appreciate the community-driven environment that Linux as a whole fosters

This is the single most interesting video on youtube for me. For the first time, I've read, all the comments and opinions. You are putting efforts in helping FOSS community. Stay Blessed ✌

While choosing a Linux distro can be mind blowingly difficult, this video describes the differences and highlights in a simple way. Thank you for doing this glossover of seven of the best Linux distros.

Linux Mint is my daily driver. It is highly customizable. I took it and customized it to look like mac os for a person who used apple mac his entire life. I like Fedora as well. I went away from Ubuntu because of stability issues. I started with Ubuntu back in 2011. I will have to try Garuda.

I am an openSUSE user for 15+ years and love it.

[dragonballjiujitsu]

Hundreds of distros. About 4 worth installing IMO.

1. Manjaro KDE
2. Fedora
3. Linux Mint Cinnimon
4. Zorin OS

And yes, I've tried every Linux distro on distro watch and many not on there for over 18 years.

[phillip]

Tried them all but for me it's zorin. Love the simplicity, the clean lines and smooth operation and most importantly it's reliability.

[Phemruto]

I just started running Mint - after 30 years of Windows - Linux mint is amazingly great.

[thepiratepenguin]

I'm surprised that Pop OS did not make the list. In my own experience I have found it to be better than Ubuntu or Zorin OS.

[christianzee]

I finally gravitated to Linux Mint. So easy to use after using Windows for a long time.

[RogerJonker]

I'm using mint for years now. Glad to see it on number 1! With the help of WINE i can load even ms win programs. MS windows is by by for me... :-)

[nelsono]

I am by no means a Linux guru but I have been using Garuda Linux for the past year now and I'm loving it. Good calls on all the distros

[jorgeher]

I've been using Mx Linux for more than 6 months and it's excellent, I'm not going to change it, I like its stability... greetings from Mexico and sorry for my translation

Hundred different distributions available points to the usefulness of Linux. It shows every user can pick up the one most suited to their needs, rather than "one jacket fits all" option.
