From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

meh, and this is just my honest opinion, but I don't think any of the distros look good right out of the box so the way it looks isn't a deal breaker as I just end up cutomizing them anyways.
I think stock Ubuntu looks sexy af. Plus, they make great use of your Desktop space. Barely any clutter in the way. But that's just personal taste.
Correct. They have the history of "the best use of desktop space" from unity DE. Although I will not forgive canonical for dropping unity, the gnome they have is close.
I like Cinnamon.
