"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 the 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."
"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 and its spins, Fedora, Red Hat, openSUSE, Linux Mint, Arch, Gentoo, and Pop!_OS. Pop!_OS ships with System76 hardware, creating tight hardware-software integration that results in smooth performance, leading to its use as a default on System76 machines. An all-time favorite distribution is elementaryOS, which emphasizes the Pantheon desktop environment. The elementaryOS tagline is "The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and MacOS," underscoring goals of usability, aesthetics, and ethics. The combination of an Ubuntu base, a polished desktop, and an ethical framing makes elementaryOS recommended as a user's first distribution.
