Ubuntu's popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I've highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

So Ubuntu, Ubuntu and unstable arch… here let me have a go:

  1. Fedora
  2. Tumbleweed
  3. Endeavour OS
  • easy install arch with extra repos, zfs and and dracut
  1. Bonus for the curious
  • void
  • Redcore Gentoo

I agree with the Fedora recommendation. Just a all round great experience.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
