I voted "Other" - because the question was about my favorite Linux distro and I, as "simple, ordinary user", like best
Arch and
sidux. These are flavors present on my desktops, USB-keys and laptop. I like them a lot because of their speed (both), stability (both - if you know what you are doing!) and flexibility (Arch!)...
...and I'm relatively new to Linux (I have used it for 1,5 year only but use it exclusively and install it for whole my family
).
But if you start with Linux on your own (without any family and/or friends support) I would recommend PCLinuxOS or Ubuntu for a start of learning process
.
Wishing everybody nice day,
