@lig1 Even my first choice is Fedora. I have used it little bit before. Can you justify your answer though?
It will be very helpful for me. -
@arunabhghosal Check out antergos. Its based on arch. You still get rolling updates bit after tested well enough. Or if you like to be on the bleeding edge, you can add AUR and be on sync with arch.

lig114458y@arunabhghosal the main reasons are on the website. It's current, truly free and community driven. And they always bring the latest Gnome as well as editions based on other popular DEs.
Also all software in the Fedora repos is original without distribution specific bloat patches in contrast with Ubuntu. -
@LukBukkit In my college they use Ubuntu. But as @lig1 said, we have to download separate patches in Ubuntu for any software that we download.

@linuxxx I guess its more than the look and feel. I get annoyed by the fact that OS X doesn't expose sound device via /dev/snd

r4nter7178y@arunabhghosal what do you mean by patches? Downloading dependencies via packet manager?
-
r4nter7178y@arunabhghosal that's actually a good thing. Linux has a lot less redundant libraries.

@r4nter I am comparing Ubuntu and Fedora, both are Linux only. In Fedora repository you just have to download the package no extra patches required. This is not the case with Ubuntu.
I have been using OSX for 3 years. My MacBook got out of order. I am going to buy a new laptop ( not MacBook). Suggest me which Linux distro to install?
