This. Simple.

When it comes to Linux distros, one person's molehill is another's mountain

Linux Desktop

Loooong time Linux user here (25 years). I have tried them all. Mandrake, Redhat/Fedora, SuSe, Slackware, Debian and all it's derivatives, MX, PCOS-Linux, KDE Neon, and many more. The last few years I have been using Manjaro KDE. It suits me perfectly, is super reliable and has the best hardware detection in the business. I hate GNOME with a passion and will not use any distro, based on it. I have always preferred KDE, for its functionality and configurability.

Every once in a while I get itchy feet and try something else, but I always end up coming back to Manjaro. Not saying this is for everyone, but it's perfect for me. I have setup other family members with Mint or Zorin, because they're simpler and suit non-technical people more.

Essentially, there is no single distro that fits everybody. Best option is to tryout a few and find the one that works for you.

Re: What the fuck is a meter?

This. Americans tend to spell things as they sound. Makes a lot of sense, in most cases.

Laugh all you want. There will be a year of the Linux desktop

Been using it for a long time

It's been the year of the Linux desktop around here, for at least 15 years. Have used (or tried) them all. Used Mandrake KDE, for a few years, then SuSE/openSuSE KDE for a few years. For the last 3 or 4 years, I've been on Manjaro KDE. It's quite simply, the best. Everything just works... printing, scanning, office (LibreOffice or onlyOffice), GIMP, Kodi, SMB to my NAS boxes. I have Win10 in a Virtualbox VM, but can't remember the last time I fired it up.

Thunderbird for mail, Vivaldi or Firefox for web. There's nothing I really need Windoze for.
