Staudey Yeah you can get it on Solus GNOME too, have tried it. It's good but a bit janky for somethings. I need to spend more time with it as it's probably a learning curve thing.

    Probably Manjaro, because is Arch with less headache, or maybe fedora, used fedora many times before, I like it, but the upgrade gave me problems before, I don't like the idea of reinstalling the system without need, just because a new update arrived.
    Actually I would say Arch, but nowadays no more, I have kids, wife and a job... no more linux solving prolems funtime.

    Traitor here. I'm actually VM-ing Solus (please don't ban me 😅 ). Using Fedora full-time because of the newer packages that I need like postgresql 12 and nodejs 13/14.

      You know, you can always run Postgres through Docker.

      And nodejs.... just use nvm or n, its a must for a node developer.

        I'd use Solus. But that's because I'd continue it's development.

          Justin but what if Solus never existed? I think that's the point of the poll.

              I'd remain on MacOs (using a Macbook Air 2013 - A1466) if it wasn't for the Catalina update that broke most of my old apps including some obscure french dev utilities and WINE based apps. Especially since going back to Mojave is now almost impossible (I just don't have the patience for that anymore).

              I would propably go for Opensuse Tumbleweed. Or if that would not be available back to Fedora (not Silverblue). I want to have a rolling release (and not to install/do a risky Upgrade every couple of months) without the bleeding edge (therefor i do not like Manjaro or Arch. Had them running a couple of years ago).
              DE would always need to be Gnome. I got used to the good Touch device Support.

              I am newbie to the use of Solus Budgie.
              As long as I can't really find my way around and read the clock at Systray without glasses 😉 ,
              I will continue to use as my main system:

              Calculate Linux (Gentoo).

              I can't even conceive of the idea of using a different distro. My mind just can't wrap around the idea.

              I really like the solus. It seems to me no distro did not achieve what the solus did. Probably smells of snobbery here. but this is my opinion. Perhaps the solus is the most promising distro. Sabayon gives good hopes but he is still far from solus
