What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

Just asked AI and it seems to depend on what hardare controller you have and it varies between consumer , enterprise drives , Unless it's just making stuff up?

A consumer NVMe drive capable of 500,000+ random write IOPS can plummet to just 200 to 400 IOPS under a heavy fsync load (like a transaction database or Proxmox virtual disk). Its latency spikes into milliseconds, making it perform closely to an old spinning hard drive.

Why Enterprise M.2 Drives Escape the BottleneckEnterprise M.2 NVMe drives (such as the Samsung PM9A3) feature built-in hardware capacitors for Power Loss Protection (PLP).

When an enterprise drive receives an fsync, it can safely instantly acknowledge (ACK) the write the millisecond it hits the drive’s internal onboard DRAM.The drive knows that if power fails unexpectedly, the onboard capacitors hold enough physical charge to safely flush that RAM data into the flash chips anyway.

Because of this, enterprise NVMe drives can easily process 40,000+ fsync operations per second instead of a few hundred.

I ran the KDE plasma for a couple of hours last night and even though i didn't hate it i just don't feel inspired to run it full time.

I get the same feeling every time i try it, Yet i find it nigh on impossible to articulate why!

I'm still running KDE on my two newest PCs so a few weeks with it on the main one. There's things I like about it better than GNOME, but overall I think I'd still choose that. The system settings alone can take me a minute to find stuff sometimes. Although I'm trying to stick with KDE and give it a really good run.

I see a lot of people complaining on Reddit how heavily stripped down GNOME is but it's not like you're average user is constantly changing settings.

The only thing the bugged me was the lack of minimise and maximise and that was quickly sorted with GNOME tweaks.
