Windows or MacOS.

>>58982411
for starting out use OpenSuse or Ubuntu
whichever looks more for you
>>
Do you plan on using GNU alongside the Linux kernel to comprise a functional operating system or do you mean that you are literally going to use just the kernel?
>>
Depends on which desktop environment and package manager you like best. Try out a bunch of different distros and DEs in virtualbox before committing.
>>
>>58982411
Manjaro.
>>
>>58982411
Windows 10 Pro
Ubuntu is well integrated in it.
>>
>>58982456
Second for Manjaro
>>
>>58982431
>OpenSuse

The KDE experience on OpenSuse is great.

ArchLinux is also great, their wiki is second to none.
>>
hackintosh
>>
gentoo
>>
>>58982411
Fedora

Nigjaro

>>58982411
Gentoo for quite a while, then Arch.
Then for a while it was Solus.
This week it's mostly source mage.

Ignore open suse, fedora ,arch linux , gentoo, debian.

Go for ubuntu or linuxmint
>>
>>58982411
Mint 18
>>
>>58982411
Solus would probably be the best for a beginner

Manjaro. Switched from *buntus to it 2 months ago, best decision I ever made.

don't take this guy's advice

OpenSUSE, Fedora are good choices too. Ubuntu is also fine. I have different issues regarding each distro, none are perfect.

>>58982411
Ubuntu GNOME

>>58982457
Underrated. I am running Rails server on it at the moment.

"well" is a bit of a stretch for now, though.
>>
>>58982411
You can accomplish plenty on Fedora. Never used Ubunto myself, but I heard it is good for normalfags.
>>
>>58982411
Boring office stuff like spread sheets: Red Hat, CentOS
Gaming and noobs general: Ubuntu
Entry-level coding: Debian, Fedora
Reale serious coding, top-end server stuff and hardcore hackers: Arch
>>
kubuntu or lubuntu if you don't like learning
antergos or bunsenlabs if you want to learn
arch if you like a challenge
gentoo or funtoo if you hate yourself but seriously want to leave windows and nsa
>>
>>58982411

If you need to get work done, Ubuntu.
>>
>>58982411
