The best Linux distros are hard to find. Unless you read our list of the best Linux operating systems for gaming, Raspberry Pi, and more.
Best General Purpose Linux Distros
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is Debian-based and ships with GNOME as the default desktop environment. One of the most popular Linux operating systems around, Ubuntu improves with every release. The latest releases are designed for desktops, laptops, and hybrids. In short, if you're switching from Windows or macOS, Ubuntu is probably the first OS you'll try.
openSUSE
The openSUSE distribution is a general distro for Linux built by the openSUSE Project. It aims to be both a great beginner distro and something that appeals to experienced Linux users. openSUSE comes with YaST, an administration program that controls installations, package management, and more.
Fedora
Fedora, sponsored by the IBM-owned Red Hat uses the GNOME desktop environment by default. Users can easily switch to KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE, and Cinnamon, among others. Custom variations of Fedora, known as Fedora spins, are available for users with specific requirements.
Debian
Debian is one of the oldest and best Linux distros that comes with the GNOME desktop environment. However, it's also available with the FreeBSD kernel, and work is in progress to support other kernels such as the Hurd.
Many other notable Linux distros are based on Debian. These include Ubuntu and Raspbian.
Slackware Linux
Slackware is a distro built specifically for security and simplicity, aiming to be the most UNIX-like Linux distribution. It's particularly useful for server management, as it has FTP, email, and web servers available to use immediately.
Have you ever tried UNIX or managed a server? If not, try Slackware as a live disc (or as a virtual machine) to get to grips with it.
