  Debian and Mint are both good. The former is aimed at servers and the latter is aimed at desktops.

    Hmm, okay. Yeah I was trying to set up an environment to dabble with machine vision and had trouble finding good instructions or guidance for programming env setup. I think in college we used something-Unix but it’s been so long I don’t really have a frame of reference anymore. So I’m looking for a low-overhead daily driver that’s also relatively common or amenable to maker communities

    If that makes sense.

      What did you use before? You might be able to use many of the same things, or find open-source alternatives that work the same.

        Well I just dumped windows and MS office. For machine vision I’m only dabbling with openCV, so that’s already open source. The switch to libre office has been pretty nice though

      If you install Ubuntu already your fine.

      Personally I don’t want to spend time working on my computer (that’s work me), so I use mint. Just about any flavor of Linux can have a basic development env configuration done.

        Cool thanks, I’ll stick with it! At least until I’m familiar and want to try something new

      Hmmm, now that is not something I’m qualified to answer. Hopefully someone else speaks up.

        No worries, it’s all part of the experience
