What Linux Distribution Should You Use?
Willow Sparks

Linux is famous for having a large number of distributions, and so picking which one to use can be very overwhelming for a linux newcomer. My talk will be a high-level overview of linux, and the different "lineages" of distributions that exist.
Linux is famous for having a large number of distributions, and so picking which one to use can be very overwhelming for a linux newcomer. My talk will be a high-level overview of linux, and the different "lineages" of distributions that exist.
The talk will also cover the use cases for different distributions (server, desktop etc.), different approaches to package management, the different ecosystems around certain distros, and the overall guiding philosophies behind certain popular distributions.
For fun, I will also be including a personal tierlist of the different linux distributions that I have used.
