From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you want a very stable server = debian
Hybrid server+gaming = openSUSE Tumbleweed
If you hardcore probably Arch :D
If your are in ultra instinc you make your own OS :D
If you want all of the above: Nixos
One day maybe. I have thought about doing this, but I just want it to work when I only have 4hrs to myself after work. I'd say my distro but it's prolly the wrong one, hehehe 🤪
