Choosing a Linix Operating System for ML • /r/MachineLearning

Linux refers to the operating system's kernel. The different distributions are simply different collections of software, packaged in slightly different ways. In view of this, I'd be surprised if you find you can't run a certain ML framework on one Linux distro, if it runs on another. Having said that, to make things as easy as possible to get started, I've noticed that most projects tend to release fully packaged binaries for at least Debian, Ubuntu, and RedHat. Therefore it might be your best option to pick one of those.
