Which distro would you recommend a user coming over from Windows?
Today, I got this question. The person has been a developer on the Windows platform for many years and is comfortable both with RTFMing and using the command line.
As much as I liked to scream Arch Linux!!! Or failing that, Debian!!! I actually said ... Ubuntu.
Comes pre-installed on Dell and Lenovo laptops
Great OOTB experience
Great online resources as well as printed books.
Even some commercial software has an Ubuntu version.
What do you think?
