      I could take it or leave it. I think they have some cool projects like Juju. The only problem I’ve had with it really is the boot partition filling up with images. I’m so used to how RHEL deals with that I forget about it.

      OMG that is such a pain!!

        Such a silly one as well, for something that's been automated by so many others.

          Indeed, it is ridiculous.

              Tl;dr
              As a casual, sometimes user of Linux, I started with Ubuntu and have had several flavours of it and I like it... HOWEVER, I don’t like the bundled Amazon stuff and I really didn’t like unity.

              My favourite bit was the Steam support.

              Now that I’m sort of looking into some test bunny stuff at home, I’m considering an entirely different flavour of Linux.

              I liked the CentOS install I had on my short lived VPS, so I’ll probably try fedora.

              I don’t dislike Ubuntu, I just don’t agree with some of their decisions.

                Deepin integrates Steam even better than Ubuntu does.

                  Good stuff. That's Definately something I'll have a look at then.
                  I'm not yet cemented into a distro. I think I'd like to remain distro agnostic.

                    There is no real distro agnostic, that's like being OS agnostic. At some point, you have to use one 🙂

                    I used Fedora and Deepin as my daily drivers. And the wife uses Ubuntu.

                    I keep Mint, Solus, Elementary, Zorin, Debian, and CentOS in the lab.

                      @nadnerb ElementaryOS is nice but you might not like the idea of not able to save items to your Desktop. Deepin is pretty good too.

                      On my home Desktop, Fedora Gnome is my preferred, then again, I've always be a fan of using distros that uses Gnome. But I do have Deepin, Elementary and Linux Mint has a VM because I like to keep up with what's going on with them.

                        Just not on by default. You can enable it...
