Hi All,
I've been running Slackware since forever. It's time to grow up and see the world. Which distro would you recommend that I move to? Yes, I know it's personal, and reasons will be varied and educational.
- Ubuntu -- OK. I use it at work in VM and in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). For me, Mint is another flavour, just like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
- Oracle -- I use it at work too. Was CentOS, but switched to Oracle because they said delivering end-of-life OS is bad marketing.
- Fedora -- OK. Doesn't seem to have its equivalent in Ubuntu side.
- OpenSUSE -- Difficult to pin down. It uses RPM but in their own way. It has rolling release (Tumbleweed) and versioned release (Leap).
- Arch -- no. I don't need/want to learn what they are trying to teach. I run Slackware, so I already know all that.
Suggest Devuan - - - I'm working on moving more of my systems that way over time. Regards
