   Alright netizens.

   What is your favorite Linux Distro, and why?

   I'll start.

   I like Kali and parrot for obvious reasons, but for daily use, I tend to lean toward Linux Mint.

   Why?

   Ease of use and stability are king. Linux Mint does this very well.

      @TheGibson I distro-hopped for a while and then settled on Debian, which I really loved for about six years. Recently switched to Manjaro on a whim (I wanted to try Arch but needed a browser at install time to get past a captive portal type thing), and haven't looked back. Pacman is _really_ good.

      @TheGibson Debian for servers, Mint or a *buntu for desktop - though I found the latest Mint to be the most buggy release in at least a couple years, and dearly hope the recent retooling of the dev process and dropping of lesser used projects will yield benefits in quality in time for the next release.
