1. Debian

2. Fedora
Fedora is well known for its great operating system distribution to support a VPS. Business suites usually find Fedora great for the organizational structures, and it has a supportive community from the user base.
3. Ubuntu
A Debian-based Linux distro, which is also one of the best Linux distros. The reason why Ubuntu is used in the market so frequently is due to the interface being similar to that of Windows while still providing the benefit a Linux VPS can benefit from. This allows Windows users to migrate to Linux much more easily and also be able to adapt faster to a Linux OS.
4. Linux Mint
Finally, we have Linux Mint, which is also a Debian-based Linux distro. The main selling point for Linux Mint is the desktop customization feature. The desktop customization features allow the users to bundle multiple applications, which gained the support of its users.
