Discussion on: Which Linux distro do you use?

Used Windows 10 for years, 2-3 years ago I was Distro Hopping constantly (Pop OS/KDE Neon) were my favourite, because they just worked with most of the things I needed. But I always found something that bothers me about it, from small things not working the way the way the should be, to downloading Snaps which are 10x the size of normal Application size. Found it really fascinating but something in my head never let me have peace with it, so I would be back on using Windows 10, and like 1-2 months later I‘d get back to Linux ._. It was really annoying.

And now, 1 week ago I have bought my first ever MacBook, and now I‘m Home. I still follow Linux news/Podcasts and I hope it gets bigger to the point people don't only rely on Windows/Macs.

Fedora 40 looks really exciting, first time I saw touchpad gestures integrated with a Distro, without using any 3rd party Software. Heard that Lenovo Thinkpad‘s support Fingerprint Scanner on the new Fedora 40, as a way to verify User in Terminal, so basically whenever performing something in Terminal that requires Administrator Access. That got my panties up, but my HP ProBook didn't support the Fingerprint at all.

That was my journey :D I would use Linux over Windows any time, It just needs to get supported a bit more.

Cheers

I'm working on MacBook for a few months now and I can say I find it really powerful and easy to use. I still work on my Linux servers, but I also enjoy how everything is configured and I seem not to be missing any major features from my Ubuntu setup as well.
