which linux distro do you prefer for ML? what are the initial configurations you would made?

I mostly work using tensorflow
And I'm still using Ubuntu 16.04
There wasn't anything special for initial configuration
I just installed tensorflow GPU to get good performance
As far as DE is concerned, I use KDE.

Let me know if you need anything more

@FancyDeveloper I am facing problems in installing tensorflow library in ubuntu. I am trying from past 7-8 hours. I need to change the distro now I think. which one would be great?

ArCh liNuX

But seriously, why would the distro affect how good it is at ML?

@j4cobgarby By good I meant which has more repositories and is user friendly.

@HarshGaur Manjaro, then? User friendly, and had the AUR with loads of repos

@j4cobgarby I was trying to install tensorflow on ubuntu for the past 9 hours and have failed all the time. Does manjaro has such libraries and repositories?

@HarshGaur yep, I got it working on manjaro first try

@j4cobgarby e.g. sudo pacman -S python-tensorflow tensorflow tensorflow-cuda

@j4cobgarby Thanks buddy. I will try arch first, if things still go south I would change to manjaro.

@HarshGaur good plan
