I’m going to make a concerted effort to move from Mac to Linux. I ran Debian way back in the day, so I’m comfortable with the tricky bits.

Much has changed since. Should I go Fedora, Ubuntu, or embrace hard mode with Arch? #asknostr

I enjoy fedora but also use popOS as my every day OS

Always been a fan of Ubuntu, but I haven’t used it as a primary os for years.

I would go with the one that has the largest user base. I think that’s Ubuntu. It’s probably the most normie friendly distro out there.

I run pop daily. Ubuntu has the most hardware support out of the box. If I was going back to more straight Ubuntu, I'd rock mint again. I have no idea why you would want to make it harder on yourself.

If you're into doing sys admin type stuff, Fedora leans that direction. Debian is a great branch for "general all around computing" purposes. Arch is probably for people that are tired of using traditional distros. 😜 Last year I installed MX Linux (Debian based), and love it. It took a few days ...

IMO for easy to use distros Ubuntu has been surpassed by some of it's derivatives (Pop!, Mint). I daily drive Mint myself and it's extremely low maintenance. Another tip, if you're going "hard mode" with Arch you can use EndeavourOS - It has a live CD with a GUI install, so it's way easier to set u...

Another vote for PopOS. I don't know anything about anything, but I like that one after trying others.

I am nothing of an expert but I have done a great deal of distro hopping and have come to learn that at the end of the day they really aren't all that different. I think a lot of it comes down to familiarity and how much you like to tinker. My personal experience with Fedora was not a great one be...

Mint is good and is compatible with Ubuntu repos, but it is less commercial.

No love for NixOS? :( I really like it, the ability to tweak and define actually working towards a repeatable build and being able to rollback if things go poorly. Great system IMHO and worth a look.

I’ve encountered firmware/driver integration issues with various distros, except for Ubuntu. Given my focus on efficiency and minimizing downtime, Ubuntu remains my go-to choice, at least on my X1 ThinkPad. Time spent on troubleshooting is time lost from more critical development tasks. When you...

I messed with Linux mint for a while it's a good for day to day. Gnome is always a favorite. I recommend dual-booting both OS's to maintain seamless interoperability for daily use.

I like Ubuntu

I tried Ubuntu and did not have a good time. First time off windows though lol

Ubuntu or PopOS. Software support for Debian based distros is just 50x better. I love Fedora and ran it for several years, but eventually gave up on it because I couldn’t get enough software I needed to work on it.
