Just a simple run down of DistroWatch's best distros of the year.

Currently using Linux Mint Mate and I gotta agree with them that it's pretty fucking great. Whats everyone's favorite distro of 2025?

Me, I use it.

In fact, his sentiment of "Linux mint for everyone else, MX Linux for me" is my exact philosophy.

I started using it for this shitty old system I was using as an HTPC. Then I tried it on my main system (using the KDE flavor), and I love it. Everything just works. Most stable system I've ever used. And, the MX tools are great. I can change the bootloader settings so easy. I try other distros, and I always wind up missing some small feature from the tools.

I like that I can set my password as [nothing] right from the installer. Why do all the other installers fight you for that? Sure there are ways around it with the command line, but I don't even need them in MX.
