Why wouldn't you consider Debian? I run it on a firewall, my personal computer, our media center and two music server rasberry PIs. I run some stations KDE, some XFCE and some headless. There is no requirement to take snapd. If you feel Debians release cycle is too slow, follow the testing branch as I do. Development environments, editors, text and graphics manipulation, git tooling, servers: its all there. On 2022-05-02 04:36, Evan Leibovitch via talk wrote:
Thanks. Ugh.
Your timing is perfect, because I'm just about to do a fresh install and this would be the time to decide on something else.
I'm looking for an alternative that will offer support for a KDE version as well as Steam and my fairly-new AMD graphics card (RX 6500 XT). I'd also prefer to live snap-free.
Mint and Pop don't support KDE, SuSE has problems with Steam and I'm exhausted enough that I don't want one more learning curve wrt the Arch way of doing things. Right now my best choices appear to be MX, KDE Neon (if I install the 32-bit libraries for Steam) and (if I want to go back to an RPM-based system for the first time since Mandriva ceased,) Fedora KDE.
Any suggestions, either from these choices or something else? Thanks again.

[Last paragraph] I think the launch of Ubuntu 22.04 is a clear sign Canonical is much more interested in publishing releases on a set schedule than producing something worthwhile. This version was not ready for release and it's is probably going to be a costly endeavour to maintain this collection of mixed versioned software and mixed display server and mixed designs for a full five years. It's a platform I would recommend avoiding. -- --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org <mailto:talk@gtalug.org> Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk <https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk>
