I use Ubuntu and RedHat, but you can probably use any Linux distribution. It doesn't matter.

I use Debian, but as jpritikin said, it shouldn't make much difference. Many distros will, out-of-the-box, have what you need to build R packages, and even if they don't, you can probably install what you need through the system package manager. Some distros might even distribute OpenMx binaries of the CRAN build through the system package manager.

Note that you won't be able to install an NPSOL-enabled OpenMx build unless you're running Linux/GNU on an x86 or AMD64 CPU.

Hello friends
After much research and trial and error, I came to the conclusion that the best Linux is Debian.
But what factors can motivate you to use this version? Most importantly, there are many computational codes available in Debian repositories, and if you are a beginner, you will probably only struggle for a few months to successfully install, for example, quantum espresso code. But in Debian, you can easily install this code by managing packages.
