Distros I tried and used on the desktop: Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora. I started with Ubuntu on my work/development desktop and have used it on that job for about six years. It did the job, I learnt a lot. I've used Debian on hosted servers and have used it on my own little server for several years. I've tried it on the desktop but it was too much trouble there. I've used Mint for several months, ran into trouble, went back to Ubuntu. I've tried Fedora as well - too much trouble. Now I'm back to Ubuntu, and my home server runs it as well. I'm going to stick with Ubuntu - the LTS versions of course - and that's it. Maybe I'm going to have to use another distro in the future if my job requires it, and if I have colleagues who use Fedora or Debian or Kali who can help me, I'm willing to give that a try. I'm running the desktop version on my server by the way. Sometimes it's just easier to attach a monitor and keyboard and have a GUI. This is maybe not-done in the linux world, security wise, but if this makes me solve problems faster, I think it makes the machine safer.
