I like the DE it was why I stopped using Ubuntu as i like the Gnome 2 style
It allows the installation of all the codecs I need during install (back in the day these were just installed)
The release cycle is always rock solid, I rarely have issues with it in day to day use (it’s not perfect no OS is, but very good)
It has most of the tools I need out of the box, or they are an apt install away
Debian’s stable
The way to go
For daily needs
Fedora bleeds
In a good way
For experiments
Ubuntu’s a bedrock
Seems bloated though
And not for me
Mint - first stop
Moving from Windows
Though I prefer more vanilla
Manjaro, pretty no doubt
But failed for me
Out of the box…
CentOS useful
For industrial compatibility
And certification needs
LFS a challenge
An education
And next-up!
Arch and Gentoo
Very interesting
Yet to try
Does this count?

That was what I first though of when I saw this thread.
HAIKU is simple
Though I’ve never really used it
They say it’s alright
I might not have gotten that quite right–I’m not familiar with haiku or HAIKU.
