VM's are under rated amongst normal users. Trying shit out before paving your machine is important.

Just starting to get familiar with Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. Once I get aspects of Linux Mint / Ubuntu sorted-out, I may utilise this system more (WIndows 10 is becoming a pain)
Ubuntu with Unity for few days now. It just works.
So does MacOSX

I used Sabayon some time back and was a bit of a cowardly Linux user back then, may go back to it.
What's Funtoo all about?
Don't install gentoo
DON'T DO IT
Yeah it takes too fucking long and you have to read a god damn book.
Fuck gentoo I'm not on my computer to go to school, I'm on it to avoid school.
Funtoo is basically Gentoo with a little more focus on changes to the packaging It's like Gentoo testing ground really. Although the past few years it's actually gotten to be much more to my liking than Gentoo.
Don't want to participate in school
Uses a operating system that forces you to learn

I've installed gentoo twice recently and I've found the installation to be easier than the rest of the OS. I used it for like a month and eventually stopped using it because I didn't feel like compiling Libre Office on a decent quad core cpu. I also felt like the USE flags (THE reason to use gentoo) were just too much of a pain in the ass. And I missed being on the bleeding edge of arch as well

Debian testing with Gnome
Antegros w/ Gnome. But I think saying I 'use Linux' is a bit of a stretch given that all I use it for is web browsing and Spotify.
