    If in doubt, bleeding edge for the win.

    Or, you know, dev docker or something.

    @atheist I know web development and I had some basic knowledge in docker

    Pick a distro you like and just use it

    Why on earth would you use a Ubuntu release with short support cycle?

    If you aren't into learning Linux all the way (Arch), and neither enterprise level things (Red Hat), and neither self administration of rock-solid server things (Debian), then your best options are either Mint (LTS) or Manjaro (RR).

    Ubuntu is good enough. But "coding" is too broad

    @priyanshu-zeon me too. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is for the win. Long term support matters. More stable, more guides, longer to last.

    Better question: Are u familiar with Linux?

    Many stories here on devRant would have been preventable if people would familiarize with the ecosystem before trying to take a nosedive into the unknown.

    Linux strength lies in being a multi user os.

    Familiarize yourself with root less, home environment for your language and not nuking the OS by utilizing root and you can do coding with a lot of fun.

    @IntrusionCM These days, the strength of Linux is in some more aspects. It doesn't spy on you, and it doesn't pester you with forced and untested updates.

    @Fast-Nop Yes. But multi user is definitely a blessing.

    Especially later when docker / virtualization / mounts etc come into play and you know what fails and why. XD

    Wasn't meant as an exclusive strength, more like a "unlocking multi user and understanding permission systems is a thing that will save you a lot of pain".

    @atheist Avoiding Windows is always a helpful advice - though sometimes, it may be diifficult to follow.
