Interested in a less demanding distro than Win10 with a good visual design (not vyrviglazno smoothing of fonts and colors in the style of "let the bowl puke", with good driver support). It is also necessary that development software be installed without dancing with a tambourine (nodejs, mySQL, etc.).
PS: Installed Ubuntu, sad experience. When the light is cut off, the computer turns off, when it is turned on again, it cannot load the OS, and constantly messing around with restoring the system is somehow not very good. Changed to Arch - good, but dancing with a tambourine in it for a couple of months. I like Fedor in this regard, but have not yet decided to go. Interested in the opinion of "experienced"

I'm afraid it is necessary to change not the OS, but the user, otherwise there is no way. There is a lot of fuss with the current one, it constantly hangs with it, and in general it gets stupid regularly.

To avoid serious problems with the disk when the light is turned off, it is enough to share the root with /home and, if memory allows, move /var/log and /tmp to tmpfs.
So it will be smarter, in fact.
As for the very formulation of the question - it is in principle erroneous. There is simply no critical difference between popular web developer distributions.
A matter of taste and balance between stability and the desire to have newer software. Yes, and this balance is sought not in the main distribution, but in virtual machines with working environments.
Pretty accurate description of Win10, btw...

Maybe they will shower me with something bad here, but eprst. Win10 is bad, linux can't start...
When a proposal is built in this way, it means turning off the light has become a system, and you just need to buy an uninterruptible power supply. What's with the OS anyway?
If the experience with Ubuntu is sad, then it’s generally difficult to offer something, but try Mint. And if there is no real experience in Linux, then buy a MacBook, it is perfectly programmed on it and turning off the light is not a hindrance.

I don't know...I've been using Ubuntu (and Debian) for many years. No problems and everything is convenient. And nothing flies in case of power failures. FS are journaled, if something happens, they are restored.

I have been using arch linux for several years. both on the laptop and on the servers. what kind of dances with a tambourine are there - I don’t know.

It is not the OS that saves from this, but the uninterruptible service. For many Linuxes have the same file system, and any Linux (with the exception of embedded versions, where a sudden power outage is specially provided) can suffer from this.

You need a UPS, otherwise you will spend more on screws and power supplies.
As a desktop Linux, you need to take Ubuntu, no options.

UPS + Windows 7 + Open Server Panel to start
