Switched my 15 yo macbook to Xubuntu. Now it works much better than vanilla Ubuntu.

Been using Linux for the past 10 years and have tried just about every distro. I decided to stop hopping and have been on Fedora for the past year and a half. Fedora has worked great for me and I have no plans on changing it anytime soon. Also should add I use KDE fedora because I canβt stand gnome
Nobara on the Desktop, Pop OS on the Laptop and the Surface (needs a custom kernel though). I'd use Nobara on everything but I am too lazy to switch.
Gentoo is my prefered distro.
Debian since 1.1
Debian since '95, (After a try with Slackware and RedHat each for a month or 2-3)
I run testing on my home devices (trixie now). Totally happy with it. (I really don't like the rpm based ones, even more so since IBM bought RedHat) Tried Ubuntu once, didn't know how fast to get back after the 1st major upgrade killed my system years ago.
I used ctwm since '96, switched to xfce4 in '18 (and use it as wm), ctwm is still in use for vnc connections on the rpi.
Arch as a daily driver, Debian for my girlfriend and the self hosted stuff, Raspbian for the PiHole
Fedora because they keep the packages updated. I could go with Arch, but the amount of updates per day is too high.
I'm boring Af, I use Ubuntu with Mate DE.
I would love to switch to Opensuse Tumbleweed, but I need Ubuntu because of some interactive board drivers that are only available for ubuntu... π
I've been maining endeavouros for a little over a year now. It's oddly easier than any other os I've ever run.
Fedora, itβs running great on my older ThinkPad
I have Linux Mint on my laptop (Windows 10 on my desktop)
Mint, yet on my old laptop. Still on Windows on my main PC
The one that works for my use case.
