From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? (feddit.uk)

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

Suse, every time I've tried it I've just been like yeah, nah after running into some weird issue.

Just curious what issues you ran into? Asking as a suse daily driver for about 20 years now, but promise not to proselytize.

It's been a while so I'm not entirely certain. I just know that they were unique to Suse and no other distro gave me the same problems.

Like SD cards suddenly being read only, then, as mysteriously as it started, they're read/write again (sometimes while mid-operation)? Yeah. I have that.
