    I've always just used Raspbian, but there is very little unique to that OS that means much to me. Oh, that really cool Scratch programming toy, really good, but I stopped rolling like that a while ago. Ubuntu is always my goto for VMs on my PC, and I see now there is Ubuntu Core for IoT enrolling your Pi, and the more common, and older, Ubuntu MATE. This looks a lot less IoT and more Ubuntu. What's your choice/collection of Pi OSs?

      Started with Rapsbian, but DietPi at the moment. Still want to try RISC OS, just to see if it works :) I've heard that Win10 might also work on the Pi, but I'm not going to try that.

        Tried RISC OS, no Lander! but seems to be awkward with only a two button mouse.

          Raspbian for me. I have about a dozen devices, consisting of about half of the all models ever available.

          I'm retired. There's a nap for that... - Harvey

            Me too. I wanted Ubuntu MATE, but more importantly I want to be using and learning by Pi. After one or two failed attempts to get that to boot off the SD, I went write back to NOOBS, and chose to install Raspbian. Within 20 minutes of giving up on Ubuntu, I had a running Pi.
