    don’t worry, when you get tired of distro-hopping, Debian will still be there for you

    Extremely happy. Debian Stable. Every time I open the lid of my laptop, it’s working and ready to go. Wonderfully boring and exceedingly reliable.

    I’m very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.

    Fedora fees like a nice and tightly integrated distro. I’m no apple fan but I can appreciate consistent UX, I feel like Fedora for now is the closest to that level of experience, whilst pioneering in desktop-centric technologies.

    I have this looming fear that IBM will somehow fuck everything over someday, but as far as I understand, the Fedora project still operates with the same level of autonomy as they did pre-aquisition.

    I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far

    I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh

    Mint is pretty nice

    Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.

    I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

    99% happy, once in a blue moon there is a library issue during an update, I have to wait a few days, that’s it.

    Very solid KDE experience, all of the things I wanted to do worked out of the box. Very solid.

      Same! I’ve had the same Arch install since 2010. It has outlasted all the original hardware, except for the case and power supply.

    I’m on Fedora Silverblue and I’m pretty sure my distro-hopping days are over. After 20 years of tinkering I really like an OS that requires literally no maintenance and basically just disappears in the background.

    Fedora. Super stable, super smooth. Used the thinkpad + fedora combo for over 10 years and will use it for 10 more.

    my arch systems have been great for years now. had one breakage that was not my own fault though.

    i also have some older thinkpads with endeavor and they’re working great as well.

    i would distrohop but i’m too accostomed to the arch repos and aur at this point.

    I’m still a beginner but Mint Cinnamon has treated me well, as has my Debian server.

    Don’t see any reason to test anything else as long as it works this well. Nor do I have time after the kids came either…

      The Nobara Project, to put it simply, is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Fedora is a very good workstation OS, however, anything involving any kind of 3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install. A typical point and click user can often struggle with how to get a lot of things working beyond the basic browser and office documents that come with the OS without having to take extra time to search documentation. Some of the important things that are missing from Fedora, especially with regards to gaming include WINE dependencies, obs-studio, 3rd party codec packages such as those for gstreamer, 3rd party drivers such as NVIDIA drivers, and even small package fixes here and there.
