Hey all, I’ve been thinking about making the jump from Windows to Linux as my daily-driver and I’ve been struggling on what distro to use.

On my laptop I’ve been using Fedora’s KDE Spin for a bit but I can’t say I really like KDE all that much. I took that Distrochooser test and 9/10 of the suggestions were all Ubuntu-based or Arch-based for some reason lol.

I would prefer a distro that “just works” but I’m not scared of having to troubleshoot or fix things. I guess I’m just looking to see what everyone else uses and what you all recommend. Thanks!

      How much does it pay to promote IBM products with convoluted software as that is really linux?

      Since I am financially strained I might consider, with a very heavy ethical objection counteracting my need for cash.

      The lawyers it takes to call this crap Open and Free System must have become millionaires by now.

        I knew about Redhat’s recent bad behavior, I somehow missed that IBM owns Redhat. So TIL.

        I dropped Fedora in light of recent news but I’m not OP. They can decide for themselves on that. If OP or anyone is interested in learning more, a search for RHEL source paywall will get you there.

          It is not personal it is counter propaganda, linux = fedora = ubuntu = systemd = debian = mint …

          No real options there, just an alternative MSwin

          There is also the propaganda that says Linux is Plasma or Gnome …

          There is much much more that doesn’t get corporate promotion and people rarely ever hear about it.
