Which distribution is right for a developer?

Question

linux

Hello!
Please advise what would be the best way to switch to a person who was 95% on Windows, and then I wanted to change the situation. I can work on the command line, I just want to better understand the operation of the OS, its structure and features. I know that the question looks a little strange, because you can download any distribution kit and look at your folders and write to the console ... you just want the cleanest tool, only for development

Answer 1

Take Ubuntu, it's enough for work

Answer 2

You should not get off Windows right away
Kill a couple of Linux installations on a virtual machine

Answer 3

Mint or bubuntu are usually advised.
UPD:
The most clean, sorry, do not pull. Because there you need to know a lot about how Linux itself works, how it works, how to set it up, break it down and fix it in almost all cases - on your own.
If you really want to take a risk - Gentoo (you can Calculate), Slakware, LFS - welcome to the hell, sourcer! :)

Answer 4

LFS

Answer 5

+ Mint, Ubuntu
- Centos
+ - Arch

Answer 6

I advise Arch or Gentoo
to walk, so walk.
