Title is quite self-explanatory, reason I wonder is because every now and then I think to myself “maybe distro X is good, maybe I should try it at some point”, but then I think a bit more and realise it kind of doesn’t make a difference - the only thing I feel kinda matters is rolling vs non-rolling release patterns.

My guiding principles when choosing distro are that I run arch on my desktop because it’s what I’m used to (and AUR is nice to have), and Debian on servers because some people said it’s good and I the non-rolling release gives me peace of mind that I don’t have to update very often. But I could switch both of these out and I really don’t think it would make a difference at all.

    I started on Ubuntu, tried 8.04 and went back to windows XP, tried 10.04 and stayed.

    20.04 was my last Ubuntu, bounced around for a while, but I have settled on Mint. Been running it for 3 years now.

    Mint isn’t too fancy, it is just there and lets me get my work done, very much the way Ubuntu used to be.

    I’m running the 6.14.2 kernel, to get the latest drivers for my RX 9070, I’m playing around with local AI… Mint isn’t fancy, but you can do almost anything you want.
