Actual: ChromeOS or Android
Snobby: Ubuntu with Unity
Android is far the best Linux, especially with security and usability

I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).
Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

Just use Windows, it has WSL
That Justin Bieber Linux?
(The opposite of Hannah Montana Linux ofc)
macOS
Alternatively: WSL
MacOS is Unix though, not Linux.
(it's the only non-mainframe OS that's officially Unix certified)
The various BSDs aren't UNIX certified?
Nope. There's a list here: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/
As far as I know, BSD and Linux are "UNIX-like", but only MacOS is actually UNIX.
BSD is based on the original UNIX code, and macOS's kernel is based on FreeBSD specifically. Linux, however, is a clone of UNIX, and therefore "UNIX-like", as you mentioned, but BSD is actual UNIX.

Linux from Scratch
You need Windows ME for that.
Vista also sucks pretty hard.
wubuntu
Finally a chance for me to install Arch on something!
The worst i have used was fedora lxqt. A really disappointing experience. Not entirely unusable, but a big downgrade, even compared to things like Antix. It is incredibly slow, looks ugly, has like 1000 packages at most, that doesn't contain more than the most basic and well known software. When i try to install anything else than dnf as package manager, it will not work, or just break. For someone who wants Linux for experimenting, it is highly advised against
Isn't that just a spin of fedora with a different DE? Should work exactly like any other fedora system, besides the de of course.
Noobuntu /s
Debian.
I mean, just look at the logo!
Ubuntu... for sure.
