I will be adding some of the Distro's that i personally use and like. These will range from OS to use daily and some to use for Pentesting or privacy. Or even all three!
I will be posting download links directly from the OS website so i will not be providing virus scans for them, unless I post from a different source. You do can quick google search them and verify them. If there is somehting you would like to see here please send me a PM with title "Official Linux Distro" and I will personally download and test it out and give my thoughts.
linux Mint
This is probably one of the most simplest and easy to use of them all. Its very lightweight so it will run almost perfect on any PC even older ones with less hardware. I personally have been running this on my everyday PC for the past year. Never once did I have an issue with it crashing ect. (like windows)
You can find the downloads here

SEANux
This OS is for my pen-testers. This was created by the Syrian Electronic Army. I perfer this over Kali-Linux almost all of the time. This OS comes prepacked with some privacy tools like a modified firefox browser, TOR, OTR, Thundermail (PGP) but it also comes with a lot of tools for penetration testing. They even include there own batch of tools that they have all used for some of there major hacks ect.

Seems this project has ended.

Kali Linux 2.0
Here is everyones Favorite OS Kali linux. Earlier this year they released there brand new verison, Kali 2.0. Much like the first one, its packed with tons of tools and everything else. Only this version is much more dedicated to a daily OS. I ran it for about 2 weeks straight and loved it. a lot of the tools are updated and some new ones added. Great for someone who is trying to learn a few things about hacking and cracking.

Tails OS
This OS is for the parinoid, the leaker, the one who doesnt want his shit snooped on. Tails can not be run as a daily OS. All cnnections are forced though TOR by default. Since you have to run this from a USB or CD, Every time you boot down or boot up its fresh and never leaves any traces on your PC. I personally never leave home with out a USB with tails on it. I do a lot of (research) and when I share project files with my people we like to make sure everything is secure with pgp and everything else.

Qubes OS
Qubes is a security-oriented operating system. Qubes is free and open-source software. Most people use an operating system like Windows or OS X on their desktop and laptop computers. These OSes are popular because they tend to be easy to use and usually come pre-installed on the computers people buy. However, they present problems when it comes to security. For example, you might open an innocent-looking email attachment or website, not realizing that you’re actually allowing malware to run on your computer. Depending on what kind of malware it is, it might do anything from showing you unwanted advertisements to logging your keystrokes to taking over your entire computer. This could jeopardize all the information stored on or accessed by this computer, such as health records, confidential communications, or thoughts written in a private journal. Malware can also interfere with the activities you perform with your computer. For example, if you use your computer to conduct financial transactions, the malware might allow its creator to make fraudulent transactions in your name.
Qubes allows you to separate the various parts of your digital life into securely isolated VMs. This allows you to have, for example, one VM for visiting untrusted websites and a different VM for doing online banking. This way, if your untrusted browsing VM get compromised by a malware-laden website, your online banking activities won’t be at risk. Similarly, if you’re concerned about risky email attachments, Qubes can make it so that every attachment gets opened in its own single-use, “disposable” VM.
In general, Qubes takes an approach called security by isolation, which in this context means keeping the things you do on your computer securely isolated in different VMs so that one VM getting compromised won’t affect the others. This allows you to do everything on a single physical computer without having to worry about one successful cyberattack taking down your entire digital life in one fell swoop.
