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

A review is up on distrowatch for HeliumOS, based on AlmaLinux and aiming for 10 years of support.

Sounds interesting although I mainly use Linux for servers and not on the desktop.

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.

If I recall Rocky is supposed to be package/release identical to RedHat, Alma is very close.

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.
