Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

    Here’s an incomplete list of my daily drivers since…well, I’m old.

    • QNX Neutrino
    • Mandrake 7.2
    • RedHat 7.1
    • Went back to Windoze for quite a while
    • Gentoo
    • Ubuntu (quite a leap there)
    • OS X
    • Linux Mint
    • Debian
    • LMDE
    • Fedora
    • KDE Neon
    • macOS
    • Fedora Asahi

    I’m sure I’ve missed the odd one or two (and I regularly jumped back and forth with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint for years and years).

    I used to distro hop a lot, so if I only used it for less than a month, I haven’t bothered to list it.

      Love that list. I am also old. I used SLS, Slackware, and stuff with the .99.x release numbers I switched to Red Hat around 4.1 I think and went to Mandrake from there. And then…

      You never used Arch? Not even for Asahi?

        I built Arch (twice I think) but only ever in a VM to have a look around, never made it my daily driver. Used Manjaro for a couple of weeks, but I wouldn’t say it was a daily driver either.
