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.
It kinda is, but it’s usually easier for people new to linux
Reinstalled my OS (after losing my prior OS from lightning & powercut)… and it’s MX Linux! Hehe. … Hijacked with bedrock linux in seconds after first booting into it. Added a fetch of gentoo and void, and imported an old artix from my other computer (since artix fetch still currently broken).
Bleh… XFCE. I gotta get back into a tiling window manager soon. ;D Lagging on doing that, since I’m doing stuff (like playing long video playlists, keeping an eye on IRC, and so on).
With only a little configuration (like turning off the dyslexia worsening transparency on terminal background), MX Linux does not hurt.
