+1 As a Python-learner (there's no comment about current programming expertise), it is unlikely to make any difference which Linux distro is used. Answers to such open-ended questions are usually seated in bias - which in-turn is mostly likely to be the same answer as 'which is the Linux distro *I* use? (I've used a number, with Python, over the years) The better alignment is to match the version of Python with the book or course you are using as learning-materials. That way, there are unlikely to be surprises. There are differences in Python implementations between Linux, Mac, and Windows. However, I can't think of a book or course which spends any time discussing them, or having a chapter which demands one or other OpSys. When you become more experienced two things will happen: firstly you will start using tools which enable the use of different versions of Python for different dev.projects; and secondly you will form your own opinions of "best"! (it's not difficult to change distro) PS most of us will qualify for RedHat's Developer program[me] and free copies of software. -- Regards, =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
