What I’ve used so far:

  1. Ubuntu
  2. KDE neon
  3. Linux Mint
  4. Debian

I don’t really like the MacOS feel, so things like ElementaryOS are not an option. I’m eyeing Pop!_OS though, but maybe there are less known distros that are worth a try. Suggestions?

    I only own one device, and its the device I also do work on. I’ve been using Debian based distros for 4 years now, and it just works for me. I don’t feel like I’m in a position to change my workflow. Now I think about it, would my workflow change that much? Other than .deb files not working, and using something other than apt, what else is different?

        Ohh okay, might give an Arch based distro a try then. Not Manjaro though, I don’t like the project leaders after the whole treasurer fiasco.

            Try Manjaro Gnome with Gnome Tweaks

            That treasurer story was also just one of several shitty stories, though. Other dumb things they’ve done in the past years:

            • Let their certificates expire twice and told their users to “fix” it by setting back their system clocks.
            • Ship the proprietary FreeOffice by default (before backlash made them introduce a selection dialog in the installer).
            • Recently, the Manjaro Cinnamon Community Edition decided to ship the proprietary Vivaldi Browser by default. That is not a decision made by the official Manjaro distribution, but I still feel like that represents the general direction you should expect. And personally, I would want my distribution to at least reserve the right to audit the web browser that they recommend to me.

      If it “just works” for you, why do you want to try a new one?
