Also I have no clue what SuSe is doing in the enligthenment part. I started with SuSe an thought it was cool, went back to it a few years later and realised that it was a steaming hot mess.
Really I’ve been running my Gentoo like a Debian, (mostly) all stable packages. It just never breaks, it keeps updating without issues year after year.
The People that have issues with Gentoo are mostly having them because they try running lots of testing packages.
I tried running arch on my wifes computer and it is a mess that constantly breaks for no reason. She is on Manjaro currently and it is slightly better.
Since flatpak and Gentoo binary packages I have been floating the idea to switch her computer to a fully stable Gentoo and let her install applications through flatpak.
Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed… Also a lot of stuff that isn’t on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.
No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.
I have been using Debian a lot in the past and now I’m on fedora. Reason I’m on fedora: got a new laptop and figured I could go Debian or try out another distribution. I installed it and didn’t have any problems, a couple times I had to submit bug reports to the packaging team but not much else.
It works and I never felt like I need some other system. All feels pretty similar to Debian after all, not much difference.
One thing I favor over Debian is that packages are a bit more up to date: in Debian I’d often find myself backporting stuff from Sid. In fedora I don’t really need workarounds to get new features in stable software. But still, that’s just a minor annoyance. But still, I use a lot of very specific software in development; for normal use I really don’t see much difference between the two.
Started with PopOS and stayed ever since.
That’s where I am, although it’s only been a few months. It’s nice.
I’ve been at the Debian part of the graph for years!
Started with Mint and… This graph is pretty accurate. I’m on Debian.
I’m on Gentoo and I feel attacked.

Yeah I mean I probably ain’t leaving debian tbh. It’s just so nice.
