better off using a phone imo
if you absolutely need to just use raspbian or linux mint

Closest is Ubuntu Mate

testing arch on a pi 0 and running raspbian on a small one that runs pihole and a couple of containers with rutorrent and ubiquiti controller soft

I'm typing from my pi 2 right now.
just use raspbian
install the minimal image, then install what you need
I'm using Window Maker as my WM, PCManFM as my file manager, Audacious to play music, and Chromium as my browser. Very comfortable.
also, chromium is basically the only decent browser for this thing (firefox chokes completely and can barely open, midori is slower than chromium, nothing else can really post here without a pass)
in contrast, chromium can actually play HD webms at almost full speed and is only a little slower than browsing on my phone in general (captcha takes a bit long, but that's it)
you'll have a better experience than me because the 3B+ is a decent bit faster

Unironically this.

How you liking it as a controller? Debating getting the actual Ubiquiti controller or just using a spare pi.

Void has rpi firmware in their ARM repos
Dylan Jenkins
Archlinux arm

Kayden Hughes
This is the only correct answer.
Robert King
That's basically raspian except more bloated.
Not an arch fan but if I was going to use a pi as a desktop regularly would probably give it a shot. For general browsing and music a pi3 can handle it breddy well.
So Raspian or Arch.

WIndows 10 works on RPi.

This'll be pretty awkward for you guys, but there's fully usable distros out there, meant to be used with an RPi.

raspian and xfce
t. i use a rpi every day

I wouldn't use a memeberry garbage as everyday PC.

On a non-normalfag board I'd use plain debian or obongo.

Oh yeah how is that progressing actually?

Just get this. Raspberry pi isn't for Desktop use

Try a lattepanda perhaps.

I unironically use an rPi2 as an everyday machine for about 3 weeks. My town got hit by a hurricane andy luck, the power supply in myain PC died. Being declared a state of emergency, I wasn't allowed on the roads so I could get a new one from the shop, and all packages/deliveries were halted. So I set up the Pi, a spare 16GB microSD card. Use Ubuntu MATE 16.10 as a daily OS and it was responsive enough. Eventually used a 32GB USB drive and cloned the OS over. Read speeds got vastly better and the OS was a lot more responsive. Was still shit posting and watching 480p anime without too much issue.

No distro will give you the ability of light multitasking or video reproduction at >480p
