Solus Linux.
Awesome team, not based on any other distro, great default DE.
Runs fast and on everything I've tried so far.

Big fan of Solus! There are a few smaller reasons I'm not using it right now, but I definitely keep my eye on it. I think the biggest kicker was they didn't have a more recent version of NodeJS at the time that I left. I'd be curious if they've got a more recent version now though.

Their DE is fantastic.

You could install nvm (node version manager) and get every node version you need.

github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

Oooh! Nifty! Definitely going to be adding this to the list of things that I use. Would really help at work lol

also add direnv and have it automatically change node version depending on which directory you are in.
Really useful :D
