Don't need another KDE to confuse me. I had Debian/Xfce on my Linux box at work. Certainly usable and the trailing edge is a good place to be with a production machine. The real driver was I needed a 32 bit distro. > Red Hat used to be good ... but after selling out to IBM, it and all > the downstream versions became basically "beta testing" versions for > IBM. When I switched from Red Hat Linux to SuSE in 2002, RHL was sort of beta. Q.v. gcc 2.96. https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html They had to follow up with another version since it wouldn't compile the kernel. The RHL Python brew also broke existing scripts. There were probably other problems I didn't run into. It only took a couple of decades before I would look at Fedora. > Of course plenty of OTHER distros out there beyond MX, > Linux and BSD.

Truth is for what I do Leap, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint/Cinnamon all work equally well. antiX with IceWM might not but that's sort of an experiment with the eeePC. That isn't and never was something you'd want to do a lot of work on. I do keep an eye out for a distro when I get ambitious enough to redo the Ubuntu box. 26.04 is the end of the line for it. Even 26.10 supposedly will be filled with AI goodness. > Hmm, ever tried GenToo ? I never did. Might be worth a look ....... Nope. I don't distro hop as much as put different distros on different machines for variety. I've got other fish to fry than nursing Gentoo or one of the BSDs along.
