Put out a summary article on Linux distros I've tested and worked with so far. Could be useful for folks thinking about trying Linux or one of the distros discussed. Always interested in adding more to the list myself...

Nice article. So, you're sticking with Fedora? I don't mind it, its served me well for a decade or so.

I need something to install on my 2020 final Intel Macbook because that is EOL now. The main issue I run into is that none of the installers recognize the keyboard 😂

I'm actually running 3 versions. I'm using Zorin for a database/GIS machine/business data machine I have, Ubuntu 24 LTS for everything general, Fedora for my art/website machine (dumped Ubuntu Studio), and I have two Windows 11 machines (one server, one general). My home office desk looks like a dispatch center, LOL. And, just to add to the mix, I use Macbook for my portable.

I have personally fully de-Canonical'd now - actually took some effort because some of my guest containers were Ubuntu. snapd -> crapd. Switched those to Debian because then there is no snap.

Impressive. It's harder than people think. A good amount of distros are Ubuntu-based. Debian and Fedora are the two immediately that don't use their sources from my experience.

Ubuntu is Debian-based, so that's correct. Fedora is nowadays basically the FOSS staging area for RHEL, so that is truly different from Debian/Ubuntu.

This (large!!!) distro fork chart is fun

That's a crazy chart. I even found one that I have an old administrator's manual for, SUSE. It's like 2 inches thick. Goodwill stores are great for finding old tech manuals for stuff really cheap. I discovered a DOS manual for $5 that I then sold to someone in Maine for $100. ROFL.

I used Suse for a while, between Slackware and Gentoo

$5 -> $100

I'm such a noob when it comes to trade haha
