I quit using Linux 3-4 years ago when I moved to Windows and I haven't kept up with all the distro changes. Now that W10 keeps changing all my settings every time I update I decided to get rid of this shitty OS and move to Linux. In the past couple years, has anything changed that makes one distro widely regarded as subjectively superior to all others for a regular user? And is Ubuntu still botnet?

tldr: can someone give a tldr of the past 4 years in the gnu/linux scene

Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE are the best options I believe.

Arch for binary package manager, Gentoo for source package manager, Debian for nostalgia.

Most of the "main" distros just work now. By "main," I mean Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Arch and Gentoo (after you install them, I mean.)

Every other distro though, is based off of one of the above. Usually just a project by amateur devs that can't keep with the main distro they based theirs off of, which opens the door to bugs and shit.

The only exception to this rule is Ubuntu, which I left off of the list because it's based on Debian, but actually works pretty well.

Why do a lot of people on /g/ don't recommend Debian? Is it because of systemd?

Don't use Arch, so I don't know, but doesn't Arch use systemd too? Arch seems to get recommended, so if so, it must not be that.

I think it's because its's boring. If Arch is vanilla ice cream, Debian is unflavored.
