For me it’s PeppermintOS.

I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven’t owned a Windows PC since.

I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house

I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.

They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.

Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.

    Pop_os!

    Like why is ubuntu still the newbie friendly distro to recommend? I feel like pop_os is a no brainer, and yet i never see it mentioned 😂

    Edit: just look at this post, im the only mention 😂

      Maybe it’s because of gnome based. Maybe people might change their minds when cosmos get released.
