What is your preferred daily driver distribution?
Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?
You're viewing a single thread.
Here's an incomplete list of my daily drivers since...well, I'm old.
- QNX Neutrino
- Mandrake 7.2
- RedHat 7.1
- Went back to Windoze for quite a while
- Gentoo
- Ubuntu (quite a leap there)
- OS X
- Linux Mint
- Debian
- LMDE
- Fedora
- KDE Neon
- macOS
- Fedora Asahi
I'm sure I've missed the odd one or two (and I regularly jumped back and forth with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint for years and years).
I used to distro hop a lot, so if I only used it for less than a month, I haven't bothered to list it.
Love that list. I am also old. I used SLS, Slackware, and stuff with the .99.x release numbers I switched to Red Hat around 4.1 I think and went to Mandrake from there. And then…
You never used Arch? Not even for Asahi?
I built Arch (twice I think) but only ever in a VM to have a look around, never made it my daily driver. Used Manjaro for a couple of weeks, but I wouldn't say it was a daily driver either.
