Reformatting my hard drive today and was wondering what distros you guys would recommend? I was planning on installing two for dual boot. I was kinda thinking Kali (tried a live boot and enjoyed it) and another that's for general use like Ubuntu. What would you guys reccomend? Oh, I have a 700GB hard drive, so I was thinking maybe a 25GB partition for each of them. I was always a bit nervous to install them since someone I know had issues installing on Alienware and had to reinstall Windows, but since I'm doing that anyway, I figured I'd give it a shot since I can just reinstall again if problems arise.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
8GB ram

Oh, do they all come with the grub menu to choose what OS to boot? I'm fairly new to it. I had Ubuntu on my old laptop, but didn't mess with it much since it crashed after a bit.

Debian+cinnamon is nice. Probably have to add http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free to your sources.list for stuff to just werk. Debian is middle of the road as far as learning curve. If you want to stay ignorant, use mint or buntu.

Try ApricityOS. It's arch + stripped down gnome, come's with wine preinstalled and claims to be good for your laptop's battery.

I haven't tried it myself. Tell me if you di.

From what I'm reading, these distros aren't for beginners.
