I have several into my liking, depends on what I will be doing:

For web servers/vps: I would use Centos (prod) or Debian (to goof around)
For my PC: Ubuntu 14

I use Oracle's Solaris 11.2, It look and feel like a Linux distro
but the browser is firefox version 17.0.11
The firefox website doesn't provide update for Solaris operating system.
The Oracle website does not provide update also.
Wondering what is the consequence of using an old version firefox?

I am one of Linux Mint 17 user. Still scratching my head on how to configure Chinese input method.

Get ibus-libpinyin package from your repository, I'ts alot easier to get it in AUR if you're an Arch user like me :^)

details of github is here https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin

linux mint seems too simple tho.

Fedora 23 MATE (no Compiz, seriously)

Switching to use stock Chinese input is easy as Win key + Spacebar

Here Cub Linux. It is quite new Linux distro.
Ubuntu core, Chromium interface. It is a 2 in 1 distro.

Fedora 22, but by September I'm going to decide whether to stick with Fedora or switch to something else, maybe back to an LTS release of Ubuntu or CentOS. (most likely going to get F24 when it comes out though, I don't really mind that they go through the numbers really fast.)

Me noobie just start using Mint 17.3 Rosa as HTPC. Initially thought just use it for my media player but seems Linux is more interesting & challenging to explore further...

just installed arch on my pc, oh boyyyyyy probably the hardest installation
but i glad i did, it was fun venture into arch

Honestly, I don't think Arch is difficult, at all. You just need to issue some commands and after the installation is complete, everything will be a bliss.

Stick with Fedora, it's better than Ubuntu IMO.

aur definitely easy to use IMO


i successfully install arch after trying 3 times

One of the biggest perks of Arch is definitely AUR. While pacman is not as flexible as portage, but it's a lot simpler to operate as a casual desktop user.

Yeah, kinda agree to that, though I think it's still more of a matter of how people feel about it. I personally like how hardcore they go with their software, releasing a lot of programs that just don't quite feel finished (Builder, Boxes, etc.)... Keeps reminding you that they intend to take things up a few notches.
Sad thing is the downside of that is I see them phasing out some good software I use, just because they're old. For a while, I've been using gEDA packages for a while for some simple electronics work (I forgot on Ubuntu or Fedora, probably on both at some point), but they decided to get rid of them from the repos and bring in this Qelectrotech thing, which feels 80x more clobbered together than gschem. Then again, I heard of some devs just stopping work on their software, like video card drivers.
Maybe eventually I work on creating custom distros for the machines I work on, and if I get bored enough, I MIGHT just look for an 8-bit version of the kernel for AVR chips

Me using arch linux here,kinda confused how play on linux work,has everyone tried it before?

So Linux Mint 18 'sarah' cinnamon edition or Ubuntu which is your preference

Neither.
openSUSE anytime.

No SUSE?
Id rather use centOS than those two.

Why bro [In your opinion]

Personal.
I just hate Debian and its derivatives. Not the distro itself, but they way they prefer to do things. Ubuntu is fork of Debian. And Mint is from Ubuntu.

In openSUSE and many parts of Redhat family, we prefer to do things directly, cleanly and as minimal as possible. Debian on other hand prefer to overzealously abstract things, unecessarily decentrilize things, and try to being unecessarily systematic that I see.. cringey.

For example, nginx config. Instead of having all your directives stored in one, nicely written, nginx.conf file, they prefer to split in in many parts. Ie. Each vhost have their own config files. And there are folders for active and inactive vhost too. In SUSE we just comment the hell out of undesired directives.

Then Systemd unit files. In Debian, they prefer to store the parameters in separate files in /etc. In SUSE, we just cram the parameter inside the unit files. It doesnt take too much energy to do daemon-reload. Unecessarily scatter the config in lots of places, furthermore root-only.. masochist much?

Then iptables. They prefer to use iptables-persistent, again, make a new config file just for iptables? Too much free times perhaps. In SUSE we just list our desired rules in /etc/rc.d/boot.local. Clean and simple.

Well thats just my personal opinions and preference. Some people just like such classy and fancy system, like a sir. But for me, I definitely prefer the no nonsense, barbaric way of SUSE.
