1. Elementary OS: Distro most beautiful

There is no doubt that the Elementary OS is a Linux-based distro that looks most beautiful. The reason is simple because it was developed by several major designers that are active in the open source world, so that they take the design to every corner and room distribution.

In order to provide a consistent experience across the principal applications (like a browser or a text editor), they have created in either the application itself or choose those that fit in with the design philosophy of its own, for example using Midori instead of Firefox or Chrome.

10. SUSE Linux and Red Hat: Best Distro for production

Red Hat and SUSE Linux are two giants of the world that have contributed heavily to the majority of open source projects, including the Linux kernel itself. Red Hat has shown prudence and transforming itself from a client-server enterprise to an enterprise mobile cloud. While SUSE struggling to get by moving from Novel to Attachmate to Micro Focus), Red Hat strengthened its position through acquisitions (such as Feed Henry) and in cooperation with other emerging platforms such as OpenStack.

While Red Hat is the first company to register more than one billion dollars in revenue through pure open source product, SUSE seemed to struggle to survive under Novell. NetWare maker fragmented (such as Sun Microsystems) between their own solution that competes with the SUSE open source solutions. While the market is growing SUSE Linux, NetWare has become a liability. When Attachmate bought Novell, SUSE Linux is separated from Novell, they make an independent division to focus more on the Linux market.

SUSE and Red Hat is known as the best breed of talent and highly professional support system for customers. Even if their sales teams competing against each other to grab customers, developers work together to create and strengthen the backbone of the kingdom of Linux.
