"I've used and/or tested so many Linux distributions that it makes my head spin. I've even tested distributions that are no longer with us (remember Caldera OpenLinux?). Scattered within that overly-long list is a handful of distributions that I would call my favorites (or those I would be happy to use as my default). That list would look something like:"
"Pop!_OS is interesting because, while it may not be my favorite Linux distribution (although COSMIC desktop is making that harder and harder to say), I use it as my default because it ships with System76 hardware. Because both hardware and OS are created by the same company, Pop!_OS runs like a dream, and that's why I continue using System76's OS."
"That OS, as Sherlock Holmes would put it, is elementary... as in elementaryOS. Why elementaryOS? I could say that it's all about the elementaryOS desktop environment, Pantheon. That's a great place to start, but the reasoning behind my decision doesn't start or end there. It all begins with the elementaryOS tagline, "The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and MacOS." Thoughtful, capable, and ethical. If there were any three words I would like attached to my OS, it would be those."
Many Linux distributions exist, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, openSUSE, Linux Mint, Arch, Gentoo, and Pop!_OS. Numerous distributions have been tested, including defunct ones, and a handful stand out as favorites suitable as defaults. Pop!_OS functions as a default on System76 hardware because hardware and OS come from the same company, producing smooth performance; the COSMIC desktop increases its appeal. The highest recommendation goes to elementaryOS. The Pantheon desktop environment emphasizes beauty and usability. The elementaryOS tagline, "The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and MacOS," encapsulates prioritizing thoughtfulness, capability, and ethics in an operating system.
