So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:

  • Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
  • Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.

For example:

  • Distro (first-level comment)
    • Reason (one answer)
    • Other reason (a different answer)

Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.

    I agree, it’s great!

    • image with baked in nvidia drivers which work out of the box without too much fuss
    • if you encounter problems, you can refer to the system76 website or use a solution provided by the community, since it’s based on Ubuntu
    • installation with full disk encryption enabled by default
    • right now it uses a slightly customized version of GNOME as DE (with “normal”/traditional windows and optionally a tiling wm), but system76 is working on a Rust-based DE, named Cosmic DE
