While some distributions almost feel like clones or trivial forks of others just for the sake of existing, quite a few have risen to the top, earning not just a huge following but also a distinct identity for being better for certain classes of users or certain needs. Whether you are a Linux novice or a seasoned command line veteran, there is always a Linux distro for you. Here are just some of the top picks available today for such users.
