nice choice. i heqrd a lot about arch lately. i might migrate to it. i'm using ubuntu actualy but it crashes a lot despite i have the last updates

Find out the reason for crashing and try to solve it, then make a switch. You'll not learn anything new if you switch distro without knowing what wrong is happening.

con-fig3937yI'm a fedora guy, but each to their own. You're best off just trying distros until you find one you really like.

I use arch for workstations cause its fully customizable with minimal bloat. Ubuntu for servers for no real reason really probably cause its like debian which i started with

DevVsCat957ytried Solus a year ago and didnt regret. The distro works fine but not tailored to a dev user.
Had to compile & install tools I needed that are not available out of the box, good learning exp.
Solus isn't based on any distro and it is still under developement by a small group of team - Ikey & the gang.
Give it a try -

Gotta evaluate your use case and match them to the distros vision and goals.
Ofcourse, if you work or plan to work at a place where they favor a specific distro organization family, then that should also pinch a weight on the scale.
The opensuse & *buntu family is probably the most welcoming, to newcomers though.
Mageia could also be worth a look. -
xsacha4317yArch or arch variant. Depends what you want to do.
Generally more popular on distrowatch.org means nor support. -
Debian, no substitute. This is for my company at least. Hiwever i encounter lots and lots of RHEL and cent os too
