    Depends on what your goal is. Do you want to learn linux quickly? Use Devuan or another binary package distro (debian, void, arch, etc), and set up everything and get used to it, then try gentoo, crux, sourcemage, lfs etc. and learn how it all really fits together. Do you want quick, easy, and everything just works? Ubuntu, mint, solus, elementary, or one of the many other distros that come fully set up, automagically doing everything for you. Debian (which Devuan is based on) is known to be solid and stable, but many packages will be older and may be lacking the latest features. Ubuntu and mint are similar, but easy installs and use for people who aren't as savvy or need something quick. Arch and other rolling-release distros tend to be less stable, but have the very latest software. Source-based distros need everything to be compiled but are generally more customizable and avoid some of the pitfalls of binary distributions, but have their own headaches and a much steeper learner curve.
