If I don't care about gui I always pick Debian or something derived. No competition there.
I have another computer with Linux Mint KDE if Microsoft does something horrible at the end of tech preview.
And this tech preview os so far was more stable than Maverics, same Maverics upgraded to Yosemite, and fresh install of Yosemite which I still could use as a form of last resort solution if two my other computes go belly up.
If you are windows dev I recommend it even stronger. 10 sec boot and shutdown on almost 4 years old desktop (with SSD though). None of this flashing Start Screen crap.
