> Linux is a powerful open-source kernel that powers servers and desktop operating systems. One cool feature of Linux is that you can modify and change it to your liking, which has resulted in thousands of Linux distributions spawning over the years.
> If the idea of thousands of Linux distros gets your head spinning, let's take a look at how Linux distros are broadly categorized. Knowing these different categories will help you make an informed decision when choosing a Linux distro for your servers or workstation.
> Out of all the operating systems in existence, Linux (also known as GNU/Linux) is the most frowned upon, and there are a few reasons for the same. While overall adaptability, software support, and user experience remain the most common issues with Linux, OS saturation is also a huge issue. That said, most people involved in Linux treat the overwhelming number of choices as a plus point, as it gives them the ability and flexibility to try out different desktop environments and flavors and, ultimately, settle for what they like the best. However, if you haven’t tried Linux yet and want to start using it for whatever reason, here are some of the best Linux distros you should use and get started with.
> There’s no such thing as the Best Linux Distribution. Like Windows or any operating system for the fact, every Linux distro has its own set of flaws. What matters is choosing the one that caters to your needs, and for that, this list is a compilation of distros that are considered all-rounders.
