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!
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.

That’s fair. It’s good to educate on these things.
I think the art in Linux is to concentrate in what tools you need to use, terminal or graphic, and build a system from kernel up with what is the least you need to get those tools functional.
Imagine someone only using gparted to do partitioning on new disks, or repairs/recoveries.
Either wayland or X11, without even a window manager would work. No services past init, only eudev/udev… and the least amount of base to get this application running.
