    Nah Linux is about freedom. When you distro hop enough you’ll see the differences between the major distros are mainly subjective. Nobara had a specific goal and they’ve done a really good job of achieving it so I got nothing but respect for that team. People get persnickety but that’s just people being lame. I’m not personally married to any distro. Right now rocking Fedora but may switch back to arch when I get another machine or feel like doing a fresh install.

    Same deal for Zorin, not what I would personally run but I appreciate them. Then there’s distros with a very specific use case like tails, puppy Linux, DSL, qubes, Nix, openWRT, and so on and they’re great too. I have a puppy Linux and tails flashdrive.

        Thanks. Been around the Linux block a few times. It’s all the same kernel and user space for the most part. All anyone is really doing is make some choices about compiling the kernel, what packages they want to support and what package manager they want to use.

      Same, I distro-hopped a bunch when I built this PC last year and landed on Fedora (funny enough, the one I tried right before was Nobara), and it’s been more than good enough so far that I don’t feel the need to switch. At this point, most of the time I kinda forget that I’m using Linux because things just work that smoothly. Definitely a huge leap from even ~5 years ago.
