Debian and Fedora, Debian and Fedora. That is a lot of the recommendations I’ve gotten.

Thank you for the reply. Many moons ago I tried to spin up a Arch lappy, but failed. I haven’t tried since (complaints about no free time and such), but I kinda took that fail that I always wanted to go back and try again!

Thank you for the rec. I will have to try nix when i get some time.

I have a fondness for Mint. I was able to build a desktop and a laptop with Mint for my parents. They’ve been using them for years now, at least over 5. It just works for them.

I was mostly using Fedora desktop with CentOS servers many years ago. Though, will soon spin up Fedora again.

Seems to be the consensus - Fedora with Docker.

I’ve always liked Fedora. I think I messed up in the past by trying to ‘tinker’ with different WMs instead of just doing my work. My next install will mostly be Fedora.

Lol. Do you know how many companies, even cyber security companies, that don’t use a VPN for remote workers? A lot sadly…
