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
