What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

I’ve been using Debian based OS for pretty much my entire time using Linux (10+ years) and I recently gave OpenSUSE a go, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I quite like Yast.

I believe they are depreciating yast. I'm not sure what will replace it.

Derp. I was just trying to see what was new out there, can't even remember why I picked OpenSUSE but I thought i'd give it a punt. I'm going to give Bazzite a go and see what the Linux gaming experience is like now, i'm so very fed up with Windows 11

Didnt Alma and Rocky both come about after CentOS changes, used Alma for a while but switched to using Rocky for anything dev/test RedHat.

Yep. I forget but there was a subtle difference between the two. In the end I went with Rocky as well. Although Alma released version 10 first.
 
Fedora Workstation.
With 2 gnome extensions - Alphabetical app grid and Bottom Overview which opens the overview when flinging the mouse to the bottom of the screen rather than the top-left.
 
I've toyed with Ubuntu over the last year or so. Hardly a power user and for the most part it just works. Other than a bit of convenience there is not a huge amount keeping me on Windows 11. Suspect in the next release or two I may move over full time on my main machine. I appreicate their new committment to incorporating the latest kernals as soon as possible.

Ugreen OS running on the new NAS which I understand is Debian based. Seems to work fine again. One fun quick is the back and forward buttons on my mouse do not work properly when trying to navigate folders.
 
Spent all last night installing Fedora KDE as a total Linux noob. Learned lots of things with ChatGPT holding my hand but ultimately it was a failure. Couldn't get the nVidia GPU working with Secure Boot. So then I tried the Fedora Workstation and after a slight hiccup, it did actually do all the MOK stuff and hey presto, got it going.

I suppose I was slightly disappointed in the performance, even watching a 4K YouTube video it was dropping several frames in every 1000 whereas Windows is rock solid. I guess that's just down to the drivers not being as good in Linux?

Have you installed the drivers from RPM Fusion?
