I’m in the market to find a new distro that is similar enough to Fedora that switching won’t be as laborious as I’ve had it before. I keep hearing POP!_os is a good choice but I’m going to as the community what they think is good.

    That’s your chance to turn away from rpm/RHEL distros and run without looking back. As last 20 years history shows, that branch of linux OS is either dying off on hands, leaving you without suport, either makes migration path complicated by a need to change distro. Like it was with centos +5…10 years, oh no … -> maybe fedora -> oh no … -> whatever whocares rpm pop/rocky/alma name it … Thats it, beat it, no more this shit.

    deb or any other kind linux is a way to go.

        Argh, tired of that rpm’ers shit – paths differ, config locations differ, you got to learn relearn on each swich again.

        As for deb distros, they been for me more stable in that concern – life long know-how reusability, muscle memory, old notes of shell snipets still valid. Decade old servers, current ones, LTS (long term support) desktop distro or last dev edition don’t difer much from point of view of fs organization and if differ at anything these are small evolutionary changes. My main argument reusability of know-how and “muscle memory” between desktop and servers and during the years, and growing reusable know-how during the years on top of that.
