If you are a brand new user, choose ubuntu.

If you are a slightly less new user choose linux mint.

If you are slightly less new try out these distros within the course of a few weeks
>debian
>fedora
>linux mint
>suse

If you are a slightly seasoned user learn arch.

If you are hardcore then learn gentoo after arch, but otherwise stop at arch.

Use arch/gentoo for a while then go back to ubuntu. Install Ubuntu unity and then try to install xfce on it.

Congradulations now you realize you can do whatever you want in any distribution.

Use literally whatever they give you from now on.

It could be a physical problem, you could try checking the cable. I have no idea why you would have such an issue.

>>58677676

Debian easily. I get stable for NAS, small personal server, and routers and get Sid for the desktop.

>>58682929

When it happens, one workstation can't load the website but any other workstation can. The workstation having the problem can load any other website. The CentOS box can ping anything else but the one workstation that is having the problem. It's not a physical network issue.

I honestly think it's something with SELinux but good luck troubleshooting that.

It would definitely be between the three distros who have parent companies that aren't going anywhere and provide commercial Linux support, so Ubuntu, Fedora, or openSUSE. I'm currently a Fedora fan, so it would likely be that.

There you go, kid, a fully working Gentoo distribution in the same time that it takes to install Gentoo.

That's what Linux newbies don't understand. They keep fighting for which distro is the best when at the end of the every Linux hacker knows that they're just different bloat on top of a Linux kernel. You can swap any parts that you want and turn whatever distro that you have in whichever other distro that you want.

The "distro" that you have is irrelevant, the only constant is kernel. You can otherwise build any kind of system that you want; yes, even on Ubuntu, you don't need Arch/Gentoo/Slackware to be able to do that.

>>58686433
You're completely delusional if you think that doing that is simpler than installing Gentoo in the first place.

Gentoo won't fight (too much) if you want to make such changes, but Ubuntu will crash and burn before you have a usable system.

>>58686659
Ubuntu will crash and burn if you try to make changes? Gentoo won't fight too much? Are we still talking about distributions here, or have Ubuntu and Gentoo suddenly become sentient beings?

Ubuntu won't "fight" any more than Gentoo would because at the end of the day they're the same thing: A Linux kernel, only different crap installed on top of it.

And due to the way Linux/Unix systems are engineered, they're completely modular and you can disassemble and replace and reassemble the parts however you want, so long as you come up with a consistent sum of parts in the end.

funny you ask, installing ubuntu gnome now

I think debian is my favorite distro at this point. Nice and simple installer that defaults to a minimalist setup but not completely useless. Devs actually maintain a ton of packages and there's ports to a number of architectures, and also two alternative kernel projects which is kinda neat. I don't think any other distro has a community comparable to debian.

I've always enjoyed alsa always choosing the wrong default device like the hdmi audio on the video card. It's like they designed it to do that.

There's also several different ways to fix that and the first method you choose is always the wrong one for your distro.
