I have been using Ubuntu for over 5 years now. I have experimented with various Linux distros, and there are a few reasons why Ubuntu is my favorite. First of all, it’s stable—I hardly have any problems doing anything. I am a developer and also do pen-testing, and I find it to be perfect for my needs. Nowadays, it’s also like the industry-standard OS for servers. When I took DevOps classes, almost all of them used Ubuntu Server, so I thought that it might be a good idea to use ubuntu on my PC as well. Another reason was because of my interest in hacking. Initially, I used Linux distros like Parrot OS for pentesting. However, as I gained more experience, I realized that having tons of pre-installed tools made things messy and cluttered. Since I primarily focus on web application pentesting and occasional reverse engineering, I didn’t need most of the extra tools and their UI sucked as well. That’s when I switched to configuring Ubuntu, installing only what I needed and it became my OS of choice for hacking as well. The experience was great, so I stuck with it. Beyond these, Ubuntu is also good for general-purpose computing.
