BSD folks: if you _have_ to use Linux on your workstation, what disto would you pick?
@h3artbl33d a lot will depend on your requirements but my daily driver is Ubuntu 16.04. I really like what they did with the Unity desktop, it runs on a lot of hardware, is easy to set up and there are tons of resources if you have questions. They are what got me into open source and eventually led me to check out the BSDs

IMHO - but like you said it is personal - Ubuntu is ideal for beginners. I think the more you become accustomed to Linux/Unix, the less an option Ubuntu is. But hey, if you are happy with Ubuntu for years or the rest of your life, whom am I to judge? Just enjoy!
