Martin Taylor yeah I guess there used to be a period in the 1990s or something when Linux was more useful than Windows for developers but Windows is now a good platform too.

I don't think the distro matters too much unless you have some special interest in a very specific feature that is only available on a particular 'flavor'.

Arvand If you will use Ubuntu. I have an advice. Don't install any software from snap stores. To install anything use terminal. When you install anything from outside of official repository. It will cause problem. Don't install gpu drivers. I don't know. What will come with Ubuntu 19. Don't use sudo command everywhere. Try to learn how Linux works.

For exploration you can use Linux mint as: 1. It is very friendly. 2. Awesome User interface 3. highly Customizable 4. lightweight 5. Based on Ubuntu. So if you get in any trouble you easily get help form ubuntu forum (ask ubuntu).

I would suggest going with Ubuntu || Mint || Cent OS... Perhaps Linux isn't compulsory for programming.. But it's better than Windows in some or the other way!

Hello. Maybe let's explain some things first. Most of the software which can be installed on RPM distros (CentOS, Fedora...) can be installed on DEB based distros (Debian...) and vice versa. If not via official distro repository, then via PPA repos or source codes. Second thing, Debian is said to have the largest repository. Maybe that is the answer to your question? If you think only about the applications that come pre-installed, that highly depends on desktop environmant (such as KDE, GNOME, LXDE...) that you chose to install, if any (you can just use system without GUI, or with just windows managers, such as OpenBox, Awesome, i3...). It doesn't really matter much. For beginners the best is distro that is easy to install (so not Arch or Gentoo) and which has good repository and comminity (in case of the need for help). Then you can install pretty much anything you want on it. As for Linux besides Win, it is possible to do dual boot, or if you have powerful enough computer you can just use virtual machine.

I will recommend Arch Linux to you by installing it, you can configure almost everything you want, and you don’t have to reinstall it as it happens with ubuntu, when a new version comes out 👍 pros of Arch: * customization * large AUR (Arch User Repository), where you can find many useful packages * also there is debtap, so you can install debian packages on Arch * great site with wiki, packages index, forum, etc... and many more p.s. if you are afraid of the complicated installation of Arch, you can try Manjaro or Arco Linux, based on it
