I am considering to leave the Windows operating system behind and to switch to Linux. However, I find it difficult to decide which Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, ...) and which desktop (Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome, Unity, ...) to use that allows me to install and use Stata conveniently?

Are there any recommendations from Stata users, preferably with experiences of not only one distribution / desktop ? Or hints on material I should consult?
