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!

    That’s the spirit 🫶.

    That’s really what I’m doing on my debian server where I host my docker containers.

    I don’t care if I brick my system while playing arround because every day at 00:00 a crontab job dumps all my database and saves all my docker volumes and docker-compose to an external HD and saves most important dotfiles and wireguard configuration.

    Back Up and running in 30 min !

    2 years in, still going strong and learning everyday something new, keeping everything I learn in a markdown file.

    • Personal CA with self-signed certificate by an intermediate CA chain
    • Wireguard tunnel routing all my devices traffic to protonVPN
    • Alot of docker stuff
    • Alot of networking stuff (DNS, cryptography…)
    • LVM, bash…

    Wild ride, sometimes alot of frustration, but what an empowering experience !
