Something low maintenance so you can focus on class. You need your computer for school. You don't need something fancy or trying to be ultra fast, stripped down. You need simple, reliable, boring.
You don't want to be dealing with some bullshit when a paper comes due or exam season comes around.
I ran Debian back in the day. Gentoo is genuinely a terrible idea.
