I'm using Debian 7 but if I could start over I would use ubuntu. It has far better support and documentation. CentOS and Fedora are crap. FreeBSD ( not technically linux ) is also another smelly big poop.

I am using Ubuntu on 3 servers I administrate and Debian on another one.


 


Also got one Windows machine but this is just nothing more than expensive if you do not need it.

Don't know about "best" but I run my gaming on Debian testing and am perfectly happy with that.

If you're asking as a standard user your best bet is Ubuntu. They have more freedom with including restrictive software license packages and offer better documentation and desktop experience from the get-go. I've used Debian before but they are much more conservative for software package updates, which is great for stable server environments, but bad for getting the latest packages on your desktop/laptop.


 


Ubuntu 14.04 is an LTS release which is great to install because it'll be supported for years to come.
