Interesting that the author didn't consider stability or long time support as a factor to choose a distribution.
I was a happy Fedora user, but I got tired of an uneven quality and only 13+ months of support for a given release. It is a great distro to use the latest versions of everything, but it was too much disruption for me. I guess I'm getting old.
I'm currently on Debian stable, that comes with "good enough" versions of the software I need, and I can compile almost anything else. And it gives me plenty of time to do work without having to spend time on the OS.
- massysett 6y agoI’ve got a laptop with Debian oldstable. I can’t be bothered to upgrade it because I just don’t care. I’m comfortable with Debian; otherwise I’d look for something with even longer term support, like CentOS. Computers are just boring now and not worth upgrading, which is a good thing.
