It will be a very easy change for someone who is used to Ubuntu or Mint, since they're both based off Debian. If you want to try something different, then Fedora. It's based off the other major distro, Red Hat. If you want a power user distro, then Arch is the way to go. If you're retarded and think compiling everything you want to install is fun, then go Gentoo. In my opinion, Gentoo is a very crippled distro. The only real advantage to it is it's security and scalability, which, despite popular belief, isn't much greater than even the most bloated mainstream distributions, like Mandriva or Suse. |
