Ubuntu
If you're looking for a semi beginner Debian based Linux distro, look no further! Ubuntu is a pretty beginner friendly OS, there might be some instances where you'll need to use the terminal to install things but it's not too complex. It's one of the oldest Linux distros that's s...

OpenBSD
I know we've got a thread for FreeBSD but I figured I would create one for OpenBSD as well. This operating system is better suited for lower end tech such as your router where security is a higher priority than user friendly GUIs. If I had to pick to use FreeBSD or OpenBSD, I wou...

Zorin OS
This has been a pretty popular Linux Distro as of late. Many people are ditching Mac and Windows for Zorin OS, I watched a video where this guy installed Zorin OS on his girlfriend's old MacBook that was super sluggish. She did struggle to use Zorin a bit at first but was able to...

Arch Linux
I figured now would be the best time to make a thread for this version of Linux since over 400 Arch Linux packages were compromised. I wonder how Someordinarygamers is doing since he uses Arch Linux... Sucks this is happening since Linux is typically more secure and harder to com...

Linux Mint
This is another Linux distro I've used a little bit in the past. It's based on Ubuntu so most packages for programs will work in Mint as well. I feel like Mint is more beginner friendly than Ubuntu is, and I do recommend giving it a go if you're having issues with Windows or Mac....

Qubes OS
Nothing is hack proof but this is a very secure OS. Every program runs in its own virtual machine so if you get an infection, you just close down the virtual machine and it's gone! I tried it and it works well but I have a shared computer and for the computer illiterate it's not...

GrapheneOS
You might think that there's only two phone operating systems. Of course there's two major ones but another lesser known OS that people have been using recently is Graphene! Here's a write up from their website:

Commodore OS
I just discovered this, apparently there's been a linux distro that is based around the Commodore family of computers and 3.1 just got a release last month! I watched a video of someone showcasing it and damn it's a nice looking distro! I don't have nostalgia for the Commodore fa...

Haiku
A "continuation" of the now forgotten BeOS.I really love the design it has but unfortunately it's still on beta. A while ago I tried to install this on my laptop but the latest beta release doesn't works as it seems it can't recognize my eMMC partition so I had to use a nightly b...

FreeBSD
Have you ever used FreeBSD before? It's an open source version of BSD that was originally created by University of California, Berkeley. I never really wanted to dive into using FreeBSD, I'll just stick to Linux since it's easier to use. :P...
