I prefer Debian derived distros (RH derivatives are fine as a technology, but I’ve been using Debian derivatives for so long that RedHat feels like coming home and finding someone has rearranged your cutlery drawer and all your plates - I don’t care if your system makes more sense, in sure I’d get used to it but right now I can’t find anything!)
I do most of my work in Docker or using tools I install from upstream
I don’t really play games so don’t care about marginal performance gains from newer drivers
Pretty much I just want a laptop that just works when I need it to, while still having a nice, friendly, modern interface and Neon does that.
Would you say that RH makes more sense than Debian? If so, in which ways? I"ve been using Debian for the last 10 years, so it feels like home to me too, but recently I’ve been curious about other distros.
Debian makes more sense to me because I’ve been using Debian and Ubuntu since people were getting excited about Debian Wheezy coming out soon.
What little I have used of RHEL and CentOS they seem to be pretty logically designed, just different. I hadn’t come across any real WTFs trying to use them. RHEL makes Debian look bleeding edge and reckless with their updates by comparison
Neon works great for me.
