Interesting

The top 1 best distro for me is whatever distro I happen to be happy with at the moment.

YMMV

Arch!!!

LFS!!!

I laugh every time I hear there's a distro called DouDou. Hahaha...

I think Xubuntu's wonderful

I hate articles like this. I'm willing to bet the writer's only tried about three distros, five at the absolute max.

For what it's worth, my current top seven (out of 113) is AntiX, CentOS, Lite, Mint, PCLinuxOS, Point, Salix.

My list (one of which isn't a "distro," because it's BSD):

Slackware
OpenBSD
Arch
Antergos
LinuxBBQ
Mint
Tails

Best for what?
For myself on my machines with my needs and experience I'd rate Debian (Testing or Sid), Slackware and Fedora. I could just then pick four of the other ones I've used in VMs or tried to dual boot but I don't see the point.

This should be for new users, which're not familar with Linux as geeks.

For me the Best Distro now is UBUNTU 14.04lts
