Great article dear Marcelo. I am newbie with Linux, but I really like to try to use Linux for a month maybe.
On the DistroWatch I see the ElementaryOS in the seven positon on the last month.

Let me ask you something. What the distro needs to be on the top of the rank ?
I see a lot of distro, why ?

Hi Matheus, the DistroWatch counts each HPD (hit per day) what means that it counts the time that someone tried to downloaded that distro.

But don't let this make you choose a distro for you, I do recommend that you choose the one who fits best for you. I'm currently using ElementaryOS.

Thanks for reading!

Well, ElementyOS have a such a nice design, clean and simple.
Your recommend Linux for building software? Actually I am migration from Dotnet framework to Dotnet Core, and I think is the moment to try other OS, like a Linux.

Yes, I do recommend Linux for building software. But if you are very familiar with Windows, you can install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and give it a try. You'll be learning Linux anyway (besides I recommend Linux for most people, you are the person who knows your reality and can choose better than me).
