Obviously it's arch, since it's so minimal, and since it is so simple and lightweight. I really love Arch. I feel like I really learned a lot about GNU/Linux when installing arch, I am sure I can be a sysadmin now lol, of course it has it's flaws. But overall it is the best distro ever made, you really can't find a better distro ever.

Arch is bleeding edge, but there is a much better one:
This is an entirely Libre fork of Arch. The repositories contain only Free As In Freedom packages, so you would never lose your Liberty. Instead of using the Linux kernel, which has been non-Free for quite a few years, it uses a de-blobbed fork from the GNU project: Linux-Libre.
For those who prefer a more conservative, Debian GNU/Linux based distro, there is also . This is a Free fork of Ubuntu. A long awaited, new release is currently in Beta, and you can try the Live ISO images here.
Both distros are endorsed by the FSF (Free Software Foundation).

I know I should be thinking about everything in a free as in freedom way, however, there are a lot of non-free shitware I need to live. So Trisquel and Parabola aren't really something I can deal with. I am on Fedora atm, and I enjoy my non-free software in moderation.
