Introduction:
People can argue about which linux distro (distribution) is the best for their entire lifetime. But there is a reality to face: there is no “best” linux distro. However, there is always a linux distro that is most suitable for a certain setup and application, so I’m going to give each distro a mini-review, I’m going to show the strengths and weaknesses of each distro. Finally, I’m going to choose one as my overall favorite.
