Ha-ha.. I like your sense of humour. While it's true that there's no one-size-fits-all Linux distribution, the tools we discussed in the video can significantly help you narrow down your options and find a distro that aligns with your needs and preferences. And who knows You might discover a hidden gem that perfectly suits you as well.

As long as it's not base Ubuntu (Sacrilege), Manjaro (Unreliable) or anything Redhat related (At least for desktops, I imagine for some niche use cases it's actually worth it as much as I hate it), any distro is just fine, just don't start out with Arch, Gentoo or LFS unless you're a masochist, that should come after a while of getting familiar with the general idea of how the kernel and POSIX in general work. I always recommend Mint, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Bazzite, sometimes NixOS depending who I'm talking to. Running Cachy right now because I wanted to try it out, but at some point I'm gonna go do Gentoo for those sweet machine specific optimizations...
Cachy OS is the only distro you will ever need, no other distro makes the Linux experience the best and as a Arch distro i would say way easier then any other distro you will ever find, dont have any Linux experience or knowledge to use, or if your an expert, you still can do all the things you want, backed by a community way better then any other on the internet.
Linux is a kernel, not an OS like your Indian sitemaker says on his website. Even after decades of development, none of the distributions learned how to leave the screen on while watching a video. You either have to turn the screensaver off or don't watch any long videos :). They said it would be fixed with Wayland, which was announced more than a decade ago and is still not fully implemented in any of the distros. They've even come up with the idea of using a crutch like Xwayland :) Hardware support can be hit and miss due to the lack of decent drivers (my 2013 touchscreen laptop is still unusable) so as the compatibility with peripherals. Let's ignore the gaming part, because someone will mention the Wine crutch. Will ignore office apps compatibility too. The truth is, linux distros aren't mature enough for a full desktop experience an average user would expect, hence it's low popularity. They make sense only if you have old hardware. Shame, as windows has to be challenged.
While I understand your frustration with certain limitations of Linux, it's important to acknowledge that the Linux ecosystem has made significant strides in recent years. Hardware compatibility has also improved significantly, with major hardware manufacturers providing Linux drivers. Regarding gaming, while it's true that Linux gaming was once a niche area, it has seen significant growth. Popular gaming platforms like Steam offer a wide range of games that are natively compatible with Linux. By the Way which Distro You Use.?
@NixNexus360 It's not my "frustrations". It's the objective truth. Send me the link to the distro which doesn't have the issues I've mentioned. I could add many more simple issues to the list. I'm not saying it hasn't improved. It's just not mature enough for a full and hassle free desktop experience. That's why the whole Linux ecosystem has 4% of the market share and windows 72%. It's the king of servers tho. I'm using manjaro xfce.
@@pitonstilinux has issues but this is the weirdest problem list that I've heard. No one needs screensavers in the age of LCD and OLED panels. Just use a power off screen timeout, every modern distro works great with this. Yes, linux is not an OS, GNU/Linux is, but that's just being pedantic. Hardware compatibility has indeed improved over the years. I am yet to find a hardware that doesn't work with present day linux distros. What are your use cases?
That's a great question, but unfortunately, there's no single "best" Linux distro for everyone. The best distro for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. However, based on popularity, user-friendliness, and overall stability, I always recommend Debian/Ubuntu Family based Distros, here are a few popular options for beginners: * Ubuntu: A well-established and user-friendly distro with a large and active community. * Linux Mint: Another beginner-friendly distro based on Ubuntu, known for its ease of use and customization options. * Pop!_OS: A modern and stylish distro designed for productivity and gaming. If you're looking for something more advanced, you might consider distros like Fedora or Arch Linux or even OpenSuse. However, these are generally more suitable for experienced Linux users. But if you take my suggestion. Do not over think about any Best Distro. At base level they are all GNU/Linux & the only difference they have is the Release & Update cycle and Package Manager.
@@NixNexus360 thank you for detailed explanation , it's just the video title saying you found the best distro but i didnt see this info in video so i asked
I apologize if the title was misleading. What can I say - RUclips Content Creation seems a bit difficult to me and every tutorial I look at it says you have to make a catchy Title and Thumbnail, and as I not a big creator I have to come up with something. That's why the Title is like that. But as you have asked. I would say according to me Debian is the Best (No disrespect to Arch, Fedora, OpenSuse, and other greats) and that's why I use it as my main system. I use it because Debian has by far the most stable base, and does not break easily, so for me it is highly beneficial because I am not that skilled technically. Not only that if you look at the History of Linux in total Debian branch has the most Impact on how we Linux today. Maybe that why most of the popular distro is also the fork of Debian. Lastly, I would also add that I truly believe that At base level they are all GNU/Linux & the only difference they have is the Release & Update cycle, Desktop Environment and Package Manager.

Don't listen to the elitists. Use the right tool for the job. Arch/Gentoo is not for work, it's for testing, tinkering, and playing, your own personal environment. Fedora/RHEL, Ubuntu, and *SUSE are mainly what is used in work environments that use Linux. You may not like it, but those are the industry standards. When choosing a distro for work, choose something that receives official support.
I totally agree with you.. The way you put is absolutely correct.. But I would like to just add one thing that in my opinion nothing is prohibited in Linux and users can definitely use Arch/Gentoo, but first they have to know what they are choosing. If any beginner, lets assume he / she is coming from Windows background, Start their Linux Journey with Arch Linux (forget Gentoo, they will not have the Patience to install it) it is bound that they will face issues and in advanced distro like Arch not all problems can be solved with GUI. So they will Leave Linux to never return again and will say Linux is not ready yet. But in reality the situation is like you are trying to master Computer Science even before understanding what a computer is. That's why Most of Wise Linux User will Recommend you to start with Fedora/RHEL, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE because they have good support base and in case of Ubuntu or Linux Mint most of the Issues can be solved with a GUI tool, which users coming from Windows love. So Moral of the story is "START WITH THE BASICS AND THEN YOU CAN DEFINITELY MASTER LINUX, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT".

@@NixNexus360 I thought the first decision fork should have been architecture, no sense in messing with linux that's not compatible for your hardware.
