Experienced Linux users, what are you using?

If you have been using Linux for +10 years, what are you using now? Been using Linux for over a decade, and last few years Ubuntu (on desktops/laptops), plus Debian on servers, but been looking to switch to something like “Canonical”-y for a long time. Appreciate recommendations or just a interesting discussion.

Fedora

Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

Ubuntu (snaps, etc)
arch (too much setup)
opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times
Gentoo (too much compile time)
bazzite (a bit boring)
fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc
mint (cinnamon DE is shit)
endeavour (its still arch)
fedora regular

What’s wrong with Cinnamon? I use it because we share a computer and it was the closest thing to Windows look-wise for non-linuxy family members. Interested to hear what advantages plasma has though!

I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

Ah ok that makes sense. I believe plasma does HDR out of the box too, amongst other cool things

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
