Top 5 most popular Linux distributions

There are many Linux distributions to choose from, we’ll just go over the most popular options. 1)Debian Debian is an operating system composed entirely of free and open-source software. Stable is an overall good branch to be on. Debian also uses Debian package management tools.  If you want a good "core" operating system, this is the one for you. 2)Ubuntu One of the most popular Linux distributions for personal machines is Ubuntu.  It uses a core Debian package management system. Ubuntu is a great choice for a beginner who wants to get into Linux. It’s widely used and supported and is most like other operating systems like OSX and Windows in terms of usability. Great for any platform. 3)Linux Mint Linux Mint is based off Ubuntu. It uses Ubuntu’s software repositories so the same packages are available on both distributions. Since Linux Mint is Ubuntu based, it uses the Debian package manager. Great for beginners, less bloated than ubuntu
