Which Linux Distro is the Best?
That depends on what you want to use it for! Since you're familiar with AV Linux, I assume you have some interest in multimedia production, but are you looking for something different this time?
Here are some of the best distros based on different needs:
🔥 For General Use & Beginners:
- Ubuntu – Stable, well-supported, huge community
- Linux Mint – Windows-like interface, great for beginners
- Zorin OS (Linux for Kids) – Polished and user-friendly, great for students and kids as it includes amazing school/studying/learning content
🎛️ For Multimedia Production (Audio/Video Editing):
- AV Linux – (You know this one!) Low-latency, ready for pro audio
- Ubuntu Studio – Pre-configured with creative software and low-latency kernel
- Fedora Jam – Focuses on pro audio with JACK and PipeWire integration
⚡ For Performance & Customization:
- Arch Linux – Build your own system, bleeding-edge software
- Manjaro – Arch-based but easier to install, good balance of control and usability
- Gentoo – Ultimate customization, compile everything from source
🏗️ For Development & Advanced Users:
- Fedora – Great for software development, up-to-date packages
- Debian – Rock-solid stability, used for servers and workstations
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed – Rolling release, robust system tools
🛡️ For Privacy & Security:
- Qubes OS – Compartmentalized security with Xen hypervisor
- Tails – Live OS focused on anonymity and privacy (Tor-based)
- Kali Linux – Penetration testing and cybersecurity
