For me it’s PeppermintOS.

I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven’t owned a Windows PC since.

I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house

I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.

They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.

Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.

    Glad to be of help. I hope you have a good time with Linux.

    A recommendation to help you get over that "gee which of several thousand distros to pick: pick out no more than four distros that each have different DEs, and run them each in virtualbox for a little while on your Windows machine. Just look around and see which you prefer.
