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!

Now I am on fedora. Before I used debian stable and before that I tried some other distros, like some flavors of ubuntu, endeavor, mint, manjaro and so on.

Wonder how redhat's latest move to keep the source behind a paywall will affect fedora?

I don't think I've actually tried a red hat based distro since.. eh.. the late 90's maybe. Been a while :)

It shouldn't, because Fedora is upstream of those changes. But in terms of the 'principles' of the organization, who knows? It might just be the start of IBM finally manipulating it's marionette.

Oh yeah, true, I keep forgetting how the red hat/fedora setup is like.

Let's hope it's not the start of them going too iffy
