I've got KDE on the Fedora and Leap boxes. 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.

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.

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.

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.
