I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

Fedora, KDE spin. Been working great, and I'm kinda liking DNF

Love Fedora, soooort of regret using KDE. Once I started messing with it the way it encourages you to it kept having moments where it totally crashed and the taskbar equivalent wouldn't move, windows wouldn't move, or anything else... made me feel like resource-strapped open source projects should stick to a coherent vision over trying to support every style of desktop interface under the sun.

It seems alright - but absolutely bonkers that there's no GUI method to upgrade releases on KDE, especially with the way Fedora releases work

I mean I usually update via terminal anyway. But makes me feel second class when something so basic isn't supported.

But I really don't care for GNOME, and nothing else supports Wayland. So what can I do.
