I’m currently on Win11 but I’m getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it’s so big and well supported by most things.

I’ve run Arch in the past but I’ve gotten too old and lazy for that if I’d be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though… and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I’d try out first this time so I figured I’d get some inspiration from you guys!

    I’m starting to realize that *buntu LTS with snaps and flatpaks should work pretty well… the OS itself is kept updated until what… 2032 with Ubuntu Pro I think? And the flatpaks keeps their stuff up to date on their own. Pretty nice combo, shouldn’t have to reinstall any time soon (unless I want to try something new…)

      Nah don’t get Ubuntu pro. Regular Ubuntu is fine unless you have some niche use case for pro

        I suppose. It’s free for up five machines though so it couldn’t hurt to activate?

        Then again, I can’t see me not doing a dist upgrade within ten years :P
