I appreciate the suggestion, but I tend to stay with my choices for decades, so I need something that has been around and will stay around. As best I can tell my options are (in random order): openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu. There are a few that are runners-up, like Arch and Pop_OS! (hate the name). Switching distribution is a lot of overhead (I have a too-large and quite diverse collection of iron, with x86 being minority).

Yeah, playing with novel distributions is a young person's game =) I'm glad someone is doing it, but I just want to not fight my computer to get tools I actually use to work. I've been using Ubuntu 20 years like this author. I tried Pop_OS for a few years out of curiosity, but it kept being buggy. The Debian LiveCD I tried next failed to let me setup the partitions properly to install, so back to Ubuntu I went again... I wish I had the energy to file a proper bug report, but what are the odds anyone would honestly benefit? It's almost always just a very niche me issue, so may as well not fight it.
