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?

I am sure I will be thoroughly laughed at for the following:

  1. Manjaro - It is as simple or as complex as I need it to be.
  2. Zorin - I loved Zorin 17, but 18 gave me fits. It just feels and looks good.
  3. Mint - my default for things I don't want to touch often.
