Skipping those I've already used

cross-posted from: https://discuss.online/post/42673820

Looking for suggestions besides Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Debian, Arch Linux, or Kali. I have previous experience with XFCE, Ratpoison, Openbox, KDE Plasma. Recently started trying out LXQT.

Would be on a modest Dell Latitude with i5, 14" 1080p display with intel graphics, and maybe 16gb ram.

      I just installed it on a workstation. I’m mostly used to seeing it. Headless but it looks pretty nice with KDE. Alma is a fedora branch and RHEL is generally stable and just works.

        Why not base Fedora? A lot of people are saying that with default gnome. I’ve never even tried yum, so either would be something new.

          Yum/dnf is easy it works just like apt get

          Ie: yum install htop

          As for why Alma, it’s what I’m most familiar with coming from a Centos background. And from what I remember and can tell Alma seems much more stable than centos. While still not constantly changing things every 6months like fedora does

      alma and rocky are the new ‘clones’ of rhel that were spawned from the death of centos when redhat radically changed its mission in ~ 2020-21. they have most the pros and cons of running rhel itself.
