Fedora Linux for Desktop - Great documentation, community and support. You get the greatest, latest and the most robust distro in terms of drivers and stability (I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Manjaro) that requires very less sysadmin work (unlike Arch etc.).
Debian Linux for server (stable, tested).
Rant: Few years ago the state of yum based distros was very bad and at that time Ubuntu came and was instantly favoured. Right now rpm based distros are in much better shape and deserves a shot. About pkg-management -- I find apt clumsy for example you need to apt-cache search/list, but to install do apt-get install; I like yum (search/install etc. just one tool) and rpm a lot.
- dhimes 13y agoWhat breed of fedora? Or is that a stupid questions, because if you're using fedora you're using the cutting edge...?
- collyw 13y agoI tried Fedora a few months back, (as I wanted a specific kernel), but I found it required a lot more tweaking and configuring than Ubunutu or Mint or Manjaro. It felt like Linux was 7 or 8 years ago.
- bhaisaab 13y agocollyw, if someone is new to Linux I would also suggest them to use Ubuntu or Mint. But, as you start using it at some point of time you may want to tweak your system like you wanted(given that you've bandwidth and motivation to do so). It's about that time, most novice to advance sysadmins/users would want to use something like Fedora or Arch.
