As noted in other HN discussions, I have found Debian (a user since 1997) to have the highest quality of the distros I have tried (except maybe Devuan which is a close Debian derivative). Specific things worked reliably which seemed like they were inconsistent, broken and/or untried by their developers, elsewhere. And the Debian Policy makes packages and the system as a whole work well, more consistently, IMO. (Though I mostly use OpenBSD now -- when I have to use a linux, it is debian or devuan.) Edit: also, Debian is very easy to install, has extensive documentation, and (IIRC) commercial support is available. There are reasons that there are more eventual Debian derivatives than of any other distro.
