Geckolinux. It's opensuse in a live iso.
Recently added to Yumi, to create a multiboot usb.

All distros have issues, Xubuntu has the most bearable ones.
Xfce light and more functional than LXDE and GNOME and doesn't have a clusterfuck UI like KDE, while debian/ubuntu is the desktop Linux standard basically.
If I had to pick another distro I'd go with KDE on either Ubuntu, Arch or openSUSE.

what about debian with xfce?

Arch linux. Extremely detailed and well-written wiki that's great for novices. Large user-base of hobbyists and latest features make it the ideal distro to play with new hardward and software.

Package manager is as good as any other and additionally there's a huge user repository so you run into less problems building random packages you need for projects.

KDE Neon. It's beautiful, it just works, it's easily customizable, based on rock stable Ubuntu 16.04 (moving to 18.04). Personally haven't had any problems with it, some may call plasma buggy as hell, but yet it works a lot better than the alternatives, like cinnamon and xfce. Also plasma is very lightweight, and modern.. But most importantly Konqi is kute! KUTE!

I desperately want to lick Misty's midriff, armpits and feet.

my system of choice for the last 2 years. next to zero problems, "just werks". no time for distro hopping, don't give a shit about looks or ricing, just want to get my work done. x200 librebooted, best pc I ever owned.

Install Gentoo.

Opensuse.
Opensuse has the best kde plasma desktop you can get, kde has konqi.
Look at Konqi, don't you want to [spoiler] hug[/spoiler] him?

You and me both.

steer clear from kubuntu if you're on anything but integrated graphics.
Funky font bugs galore, everywhere, all the time.

Trisquel. Based on ubuntu lts but 100% FSF approved and uses only free software. A pure distro.

does it have xfce support?

give me 2 btc and download debian

Still a Linux noob, but I've been using Fedora with XFCE for a few months and it's amazing. Configuring certain things at first took time (eg firefox refused to launch on fresh install so had to spend a couple hours to figure out I needed x86 support installed), but now that I'm settled into it everything just werks and provides all the features you look for with a Linux experiance. Plus XFCE is just a godsend, honestly. Never had a single problem with it and it's. so. customizable.

Contrast to KDE that I've tried to install with Debian on my desktop, it's come with several bugs I'm yet to figure out how to fix and on top of that straight up crashes my computer now and then. Debian seems fun, a lot less user friendly than Fedora, I can't comment much on it though as I'm still only a week in and setting things up inbetween fleeing to safety on my win7 duel boot when things get too stressful.

Why is Debian best for programming?

Void Linux

It's the best distro currently.

Windows 10
It works and the interface has some nice features
LTSB minimizes the botnet

Debian is the distro of choice for twenty-something boomers.

It's stable.
That's literally it.

THIS

Install Kali if you want to fuck chicks.

Arch. Amazingly detailed wiki, AUR, community full of autists and ricers, but they know their shit and are willing to help you if you have a problem.
Second distro of choice is KDE neon. Based on Ubuntu LTS but with newest Plasma packages.

Plasma works flawlessly both on my PC with RX 480 and laptop with integrated Intel HD4000. I don't see why Kubuntu would be any different.
Also Kubuntu is pointless in a timeline where KDE neon exists, but that's a different matter.

...that makes it useful for servers, not programming. Unless you mean professional programming as a job, when you need things to just werk.

this. For programming you usually need fresh packages and libs, which Debian stable doesn't have.

Enjoy your weekly crashes

on my nvidia Maxwell gpu it was a nightmare, at least on the proprietary drivers, maybe it would have been better with nouveau but that literally involves downgrading it to a gtx 260 performance-wise.

honestly since this thread popped up a few hours ago i've had a semi, haven't given it the attention required for full mast but getting really tempted to rub one out to misty porn

this is like the ultra-beta version of edging isn't it

My distro of choice is fedora because it's easy to use and it's packages are pretty new. I tried out many linux distros from mint all the way to gentoo and I just like fedora the best but I think you need to make your own choice OP. everyone has different taste

this

>Best look: Deepin
I don't agree but meh
>Best for programming: Debian
GuixSD, debian is outdated and doesn't provide environments without docker or other crap addons
>Best for penetration: Kali
I can just configure GuixSD
>Best for security: Debian + Qubes OS
Again GuixSD using containers
>Best for user: Tails
Better to configure it yourself properly

for now

Add any source based distro if you have a better machine capable of building packages

Solus. It just werks.

kind of odd choice

debian. works and stable. with cinnamon its a nice environment

same here

openSUSE Leap with KDE on my T430. It works so good and flawless I'm kinda bored. Which is a good thing, since I shouldn't waste my weekends fixing my laptop.

It's based on SLE which is similar solid to RHEL. If you go the Red Hat route you could choose Fedora, which is usually stable but a testing ground. Tumbleweed would fit that purpose in the chamaeleon world. Leap is more like CentOS in terms of stability, but with a DE you can look at without throwing up and recent enough packages.

No idea what you're talking about.

DOKKAN

Mint, it just works

Is a shit on my 1080 too. Fuck off, Nvidia piece of shit!

Install Gentoo

If you like deepin because of blur, then you might as well use new KDE which also had good blur. Also deepin uses 20% of my cpu when idle (i5 4690k, gtx 1080).

Maybe good for a server which you want to just werks, but for programming? no. Arch is the only distro that has all the packages I need, and versions with new functionality. When programming, you make the software of the future, which you would want bleeding edge libraries for, which Arch provides.

Fixed in 4.13
Fixed by manually editing 1 line in a config file
Fixed by installing Compton

On Windows we have cute mascots, which I'm sure we can all agree is important.

fedora it just werks and the last release added built in support for RPMfusion for programs like steam, grafics drivers etc so you don't even need to open a web browser to add said repository
probably going to try the KDE spin when version 29 releases though as the default (gnome) isn't very accessible/easily customizable

Xubuntu
it just werks

We sure can. Too bad it's not official though.

The Windows one is.

this one, also install enlightenment, this stuff just works.

Bunsenlabs. It's Debian stable with a pretty nice Openbox configuration, just werks. Configuring it the way you want can be a bit of a pain but you get the hang of it after a while.

Nice, I have to check it out. Was a big fan of crunchbang back when it was alive.

I use Debian GNU/Hurd.

>debian with MATE
it just werks, and i can have the same old comfy setup i had with GNOME2 almost 10 years ago and wont change or break suddenly

fucking Kevin

Arch desu
It's literally the easiest distro once you install it. The wiki is just godlike, and lots of obscure software are available through the AUR.

>DEs are now Distros

NixOS
Pros:
>systemd, a modern init system, fast parallel init
>fully functional declarative package management and system management
>atomic updates, rollbacks, combined with the above its stable as fuck
>huge ass repositories, nixpkgs is only slightly smaller than the AUR and infinitely more secure
>easy to write your own packages
>portable package management, use nix on any distro!
>source based, but with a binary cache, so you don't have to compile your web browser but can if you want to, also you can customize packages at compile time

Fedora
It just werks

GuixSD
all of ^^ that, but with superior Lisp and no systemd botnet.

OpenSUSE. Works with minimal issue, tech support is good. Literally a commercial distro without paid support. Not 'free beta tester'
If it is good enough for business - it is good for you.
This distro respects freedom of choice, allows install any DE. Also it respects freedom as free time, since it has nice support and has GUI for everything. Also it respects free as 'gratis'.
Sure, it doesn't respect freedom from proprietary, but your PC is proprietary anyways.

Show me a better rolling system with precompiled packages and I'll switch to it.

OpenSUSE tumbleweed.
Never bricks, and if it does, it has butterfs snapshots.

Devuan = Debian without systemd

gentoo

Usually any thing with mircrosoft preceeding it

I wish Opensuse would officially support Cinnamon. They include a buggy and unpolished version.

ubuntu
it works for anyone no matter how much of a brainlet you are, and it works all the time. i've tried quite a few distros, but i've never had a single problem on ubuntu that wasn't my fault. i hate gnome, but it's really easy to install a better desktop environment on ubuntu.
second distro of choice would be xubuntu, it's really great on pcs using 32 bit architecture and it also just werks fairly well. i installed it on someone's thinkpad very recently and it was quite a pleasant experience.
