I would say that the *majority* of that is down to the people using it.

It's always going to be hard to answer "which is best" queries. As
there's numerous criteria, and conflicting answers.

Hi, All three of the distributions you mentioned are major .. Ubuntu is
more of a graphical Linux which will keep you safe, but will also
restrict your learning experience in the sense that getting to a Root
(administrator) command line is not encouraged. Fedore and SuSE are the
other two major dis

I think Fedora is a good distro to start. As Joe Wulf said, is a good
idea to install it in VirtualBox first, so you can play with linux &
windows at the same time, and make the transition easier.

You ask good questions. More than likely whichever flavor you try---you'll
learn things. Several points:
- Pick one and stick with it for a while. Also, to learn more---you'll find a
wealthy abundance of resources online to read up on.
- Assuming your main platform is Windows... consider som

learning the order of the penguin.
