Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it’s tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can’t seem to install Kinoite without “formatting” the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

Budgie is very much not KDE.

Is Fedora “bad” for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don’t game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

You can go with your wife, you know?

Even better, for you, and for the planet, is to buy second hand.

What’s good about Void?

Option 2. It’s the most robust. You’ll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it’s available in all platforms, including web. I’ve been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

Out of curiosity, which one did you stick with?

This is a great 101, thanks!

Thanks for the info!

I guess this is the succinct version of the other replies. You’re getting downvotes but I like it anyway :)

This is everything I was looking for, thank you so much!

what makes you think you won’t?

I’m not sure, I think the emphasis on news about distro update around the web. It makes me confused as to what’s so important about that, but I now understand perfectly. I thought it worked a bit more like a rolling distro and I now understand what a rolling distro is :)
