      My preference is anything that will run a modern browser alongside tmux, vim, and fish. And if I have my phone handy I couldn't really care if it runs a browser...

        Korora is my favourite, followed closely by Mint. Those two are far and away my favourites for my own use. Sadly neither installs on my laptop and I am now using stock Ubuntu, which works fine but isn't nearly as nice.

          I run Fedora and I also have a CentOS 7 workstation.

          I switch between Gnome 3 and i3.

                What's going on with your laptop that they won't install?

                    How do you like systemd on CentOS7? The performance seems really good but I've found the commands tough to get used to coming from initd.

                    Also, why use CentOS workstation when you have Fedora? Seems more practical to use Fedora on a workstation.

                      I'm more partial to systemd myself. I guess everyone is different ha.

                      I use a RHEL 7 workstation at work and it feels comfortable. Plus it's rock solid. You have to intentionally try to break it. I think I kind of prefer it over the fedora system I have.
