Subscriber Poll! Which Linux/BSD Distro Should I Run? (Round 1)

Over the last year we have talked a fair bit about having a digital exit strategy and what we can do to ease the departure from our current computing habits should the need ever arise. While knowing is half the battle, the other half is the doing and so I want to take those next steps as I continue to work on the Exit Strategy series.

I mentioned in the latest episode of NOS that, starting in April, I plan to start running Linux as my daily driver again to see just how hard it is to break out from the Apple ecosystem. There are several distributions that jump out at me and I want your input before I make the switch.

I was planning to conduct a simple poll, but then I figured why not make it a good ole fashioned single elimination tournament? That seemed like fun, so each week for the next month I will be conducting these polls to see who progresses to the next round until we have a clear winner for my Year of the Linux Desktop. I have an idea of the general direction the poll may go, but I’m interested in what you all think. So, without further ado…
