#12kubuntu. I came from Windows and love the ui. Ubuntu under the hood means noob and advanced support. Also, IMHO Konsole is one of the best terminal emulators around.

#14Ubuntu. It just works without hassle, especially when non-free drivers are involved.

#15Fedora. I've been using Redhat-flavored distros since the 90s, and we deploy on RHEL at work. Running Fedora gives me a RHEL-like environment with access to all the cutting-edge goodies.
I don't particularly have any issues with stability with it, despite its reputation for being bleeding edge.

#16I work on my dev server, CentOS 6.5. Last year I choose Ubuntu 10.04 on my old laptop (Intel Dualcore), but now I still can't decide best linux distro for my laptop, last time I try L/X/K/Ubuntu 13.04, but it make my laptop battery drain faster and really hot (AMD quadcore) and some of those distro can't work properly like has buggy in graphics, I already install the driver too.
I have CentOS on my main computer in part because of it's long support cycle.

#18Elementary OS, just because it's Debian/Ubuntu based so it's nice and easy to use, but it's also fairly light-weight. I think because it's quite a nice looking distro as well, it just makes work a bit more of a pleasure. I feel sorry for the others still using Windows 7!
Isn't it just a linux distro with gnome3?

#19Friends and family new to Linux: Mint. (Best interface options, great community, not sending your search query to amazon.com, very polished.)
Personal systems: Gentoo. (easiest to customize and automate for me, time investment required.)
Nginx/Apache: Debian. (stable security updates, minimal install)
MariaDB/Postgres: Debian. (security updates, stable branch, well tested.)
Other unless I am stuck with RPM: Debian (long term stability)
RPM: Fedora (works, but EOL is always soon, so make sure the server does only one thing)
