@JimmyNorrby There certainly are questions where a Mastodon poll is *not* the right format πŸ˜‡

#Fedora and #RHEL

RHEL because it is rock solid and stable for work. I very seldom have stability issues - and if I do it is most commonly my own fault. The QA efforts Red Hat puts into RHEL is quite good.

Fedora as that's the roots of RHEL, but more bleeding edge. When doing development, I do it on RHEL and test it on latest Fedora. That gives a solid baseline for testing changes.

@JimmyNorrby I just use the Pop!_OS that came with my System 76 PC. My first attempt at complete rejection of all things #Microsoft.

@JimmyNorrby N.B. It's not my first rodeo with Linux. I've used Slackware, Fedora, Knoppix in the past. But it IS my first attempt at using Linux to the complete exclusion of any Microsoft system.

@JimmyNorrby I use Linux Mint as my daily driver and it just does what I need an OS to do.

Linux Mint, I really like the Cinnamon desktop which is their creation, and find it just works, no tweaking, no glitching, just install, use, forget that this isn't a Windows machine or a Mac since like them, it just works, its just an appliance.
For reasons of no real reason at all, I run the Debian variant

@chuff @JimmyNorrby Cinnamon is really great, I changed only after 4/5 years only because I was interested on trying KDE, my current de since 2 years now

@JimmyNorrby Switched to Arch Linux years (5?) ago. I wanted to get away from major upgrades of Kubuntu, and I was already reading and benefitting a lot of their wiki. Further advantageadvantage is vanilla software. No odd distro theming and no extra applications you have to uninstall after installation.
