Ooookay, this will get controversial.

Proud Manjaro/Debian user!

  • Ubuntu and derivatives suck because of Canonical and their practices
  • Fedora sucks because of Red Hat
  • OpenSUSE sucks because RPM (why?!) and still SUSE (but they're the best of the three)
  • Rest is exotic and obscure

So we end up with Arch and Debian. Debian 12 is good enough as is, and runs on a work laptop where I don't care about anything but stability. Arch is respectable and great, but requires excessive maintenance to work properly. Among its derivatives, Endeavour is just a nicer archinstall (so, why?), Garuda is cool but unstable and too gamer'y, Manjaro is a bit problematic at times but generally the safest bet when it comes to Arch. So, when it comes to my main PC doubling as a gaming rig, this is a no-brainer.

Lol, fair, fair! :D

But really, I just see no point for myself when there's Debian 12 already. I've always seen LMDE as a backup of sorts, so that the community would remain should Ubuntu really screw it for everyone. Or if you're Cinnamon maximalist, they have everything as polished as possible for that (but generally you can easily have Cinnamon on mainline Debian)

I myself am KDE fanboy, though :)
