So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:

  • Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
  • Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.

For example:

  • Distro (first-level comment)
    • Reason (one answer)
    • Other reason (a different answer)

Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.

    Arch linux (btw). Because it’s easy to install and has the most accessible package manager of em all.

    …before you shoot rocks at me and try to burn me alive… download an arch iso, run it, and then type “archinstall”. Thank me later.
