I have used a few different distros, but I tend to come back to Ubuntu every time. I've tried a couple Arch based distros that were cool, but the learning curve is sorta steep as far as learning to use some of them. I have used Kali...I used it as a pentesting toolbox. I have also tried a few others, but I'm interested in knowing what other people use and why. I'm interested in finding something I like more than Ubuntu.
What I REALLY want is a Bitcoin OS - not a web version...an actual installable version that uses a wallet to sign in. It should be packed with a browser that is sort of like Brave, but better - I do like the idea of being paid out in some tokens to watch ads or whatever Brave does. There's so much that can be put into a BitcoinOS that would be so much fun!!

Yeah Ubuntu is really goat of linux. I used it first time a few years ago and never went back to windows after that. Linux Mint was neat and familiar to windows but Ubuntu is better.

I have used many Linux distros, especially Ubuntu and Mint.
Got stuck with Manjaro. Never had a single problem. I don't even update it.

Great site to find, download and try different distros:

Wow! I've been using Ubuntu since 2007. Gutsy Gibbon was my first version.
I blogged about Ubuntu for many years and was invited in 2015 to London for the Ubuntu Phone launch.
I was given two phones and met many colleagues who only knew each other online.
Mark Shuttleworth spoke to us via video conference.
I've tried other distros, including Kali, but Ubuntu is my favorite.

If anyone wants to try different Linux distros, I highly recommend Ventoy. It creates a bookable USB where you can put all the distros you want and boot whichever you want to try.
No need to make a new bootable usb every time.

Looks really awesome actually. You can throw a bunch of isos on 1 drive and select whichever one you want to boot into. Love it.

Linux Mint got me started, two years ago I switched to Fedora+xfce.
And I recently tried freebsd, which was also a great journey, but kinda hard for beginners..
