I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

    I’ve been using arch for years, but finally removed my windows install a week ago and ended up on opensuse tumbleweed. It’s rolling release like arch (so there’s never a need to reinstall or have a big update once a year) and it has some extra fail-safes for when updates go wrong (there’s an automated QA that tries to find package breaks before they’re pushed for updates, and they have a tool called snapper that let’s you revert back to a working state if you run into problems)

      I really liked OpenSuse when I tried it, but personally want slower releases. Very glad to hear that they just released the new Slowroll distro regarding this. Might have to switch back now… 😅

        I like bleeding edge (or leading edge as they call it), but leap is their slower release distro
