Here are the Linux distros i have tried this year and my opinions on them:

Arch: I liked it and im sticking with it on my laptop, it is great on such a medium power machine. But the updates suck if you do not have a reliable internet connection.

Mint: I love it and im going to stay with mint for a long time on my main PC i think.

Fedora: Nice installer but a pain to work with.

Tails: A nice idea and pretty easy to install but way too painful for daily driving.

Slax: Did not work.

webrings still exist, i have a website that’s part of one. :)
