Favorite linux distro, version 3 i think Options

[Maccabee]

Before I ever install a distro I research it to make sure im not wasting my time. Everyones ultimate goal when distro shopping is something light, good looking, user friendly, usually its best to have something with some kind of community and something you like the feel of!

For a long time i didnt think about steering away from gnome, and I didnt like kde cause normally it was more ugly but when i saw kde distros they looked more complete and I just liked the feel. I tried mandriva and it was a lot faster than ubuntu and I like it a lot. I looked at other distros like it and the top distros that I find that were very similiar were

mandriva
openSUSE
linux mint

I think i have decided those are my favorite three kde distros and Ive been liking kde better then gnome so my favorite distro is...

Linux mint!

I like the look and feel and its fast and comes with codecs(doesnt really matter) preinstalled and even though in the end many distros are so similiar I just decided I it was my favorite!

I understand if you say "tldr". Just tell me your current favorite distro.

We sorta veered off subject. What your favorite distro?

Thomas - ubuntu and debian

Uronacid - Ubuntu

Me - Id like to say just one but Im gonna say Linux Mint for first and mandriva/opensuse tied for second.

mandriva and open suse seem very similiar to me. I have yet to try openSUSE though

Once I can try open suse and play with mint for a few days ill be able to make my conclusion between pretty much all the distro that are out there and try and stick with it. Gentoo is also on my trying list.
