What linux distro do you guys use?
I was looking for a simple one to start with. For now i just use it for C, Java and some python.
What distro should I pick?

I use and highly recommend Arch. But it's not so simple.

Simple? Ubuntu (only cause you want it simple)

@searchindex I tried it but I really don't like the appearance

@SmartCoder elementary is simple and looks nice in my opinion.

@SmartCoder mint, elementary or Deepin

Distrib have nothing to do with the language you use. It's more about how software are managed and the global mentality of the community and the maintainer. For example I hate Ubuntu maintainer xp for a distrib 'out of the box' manjaro (arch based) is cool, there is a lot of windows manager that you can easily pick.

I use CentOS. It is easy to install, and is as simple or as complex as you want to make it. And it isn't Ubuntu.

The real question should be which Desktop environment you like. All other is minor.

Give Manjaro or Mint a try.

Didn't touch Arch, better spend a week watching paint dry.

@stop it always depend. Look I need Gcc 7 to work. I think the only way to get it on Ubuntu is to compile it myself. Bad experience when I tried to compile gcc concepts lite. Hopefully gentoo overlay did it for me.

@SmartCoder Look up SemiCode os.. it has everything pre installed especially for programming and coding.

Linux Mint /Debain based distro

Personally, I've been running Arch with Openbox as my window manager for years (maybe 6+ now). That said, I have to agree with another commenter... The distro has no barring on what language you choose in. That's an IDE thing...

Emacs. I love me some Emacs!

@Strazil I'll give it a try, it looks clean and simple!

I think it also kind of depends where you come from. If you used Windows before I would recommend Mint, if you come from mac I would recommend Ubuntu.

Back to the question, I would recommend Mint since I came from windows.

Then you choose desktop enviroment👌🏻

elementaryOS 👌

Bunsenlabs

I'd go for Mint then. But Fedora myself. I've user mint a lot though!

@Linux I use it in a old laptop with 1GB of RAM and it runs great!

@SmartCoder
I have 32 GB but I use it anyway :')

Hi, now I'm using Manjaro and I find it perfect for me 😊
