Over the years, more organizations have started to offer Linux distributions as they realized the potential for profit. While it is not illegal, I personally prefer to stick with Debian and #Ubuntu #Linux or RHEL/CentOS and its clones. What is your preferred Linux distribution?

@nixCraft longtime Debian user. Hate rpm based distros as I’ve managed to mess up the package manager every time I’ve tried red hat (before they became what they are today)

@ram while I understand the problem I want to add that there's no the package manager on rpm based distributions.
Over the years some have come and gone.
The dominant ones are now zypper and dnf.
It's similar to dpkg although in this case there's only really apt.

@thaodan exactly the reason I said that I mess up dependencies :)

@thaodan for a long time I used Slackware where we used to have only “tar” and “make install” to install packages :)
