There are Linux distributions of all shapes and sizes, with varying levels of complexity and difficulty. Some are super-easy to install, and can be installed like any other OS, with minimal knowledge of the command line—you click "OK" a few times and you're up and running. Others require you get your hands reallydirty with the underpinnings of the system you're building, making sure it's just right for your specific needs. So which do you prefer? Well, earlier last week we asked you what you thought the best overall Linux distribution was, understanding that "best" is a relative term. Then we took a look at the top five Linux distros, based on your over-400 nominations, and put them to a vote. Now, we're back to crown the overall winner.
Ubuntu (and its variants) took the top spot with room to spare—bringing in just over 51% of the overall vote. Behind it in second place was Linux Mint, with close to 16% of the votes cast, and hot on its heels in third was Arch Linux with just shy of 15% of the total vote. In fourth place with 10% of the vote was the venerable Debian, and bringing up the rear with over 8% was Fedora.
