Your Linux Distro Recommendations

spannerspencer

I'm replacing my desktop's hard drive (I've been warned that it's on its way out), but rather than ghosting the current one I've decided to install the OS from fresh.

 

Previously I was using Linux Mint, but thought this might be a good opportunity to try out some other distros. Given that I mainly use the PC for the web and writing (nothing particularly taxing -- some games, but nothing fancy), I thought I'd ask for a couple of recommendation from you guys as to which ones to try.

 

Fire away!

    What a coincidence : ) I have an ancient laptop (with XP!) which is incapable of the recent Microsoft OSs, so I'm going with Ubuntu today, I'd ordered an IDE-to-SSD converter. I also like RHEL variants, especially because it is supported for a very long time, but probably better as a server. There is Fedora desktop which I've not used, but am tempted to install.

    I have just a 30GB SSD, so I won't be using much software on it either.
