90s was Mandrake, early 2000s was all about Ubuntu.
Since then I've tried just about everything including BSDs. It's all pretty much the same thing, as long as you like the package manager and release schedule. I don't like snap or flatpak so avoid distros that use them a lot.
These days I mainly just use opensuse leap, although I love arch etc but it's just too much work for me now.
I only really need a terminal, firefox and emacs and I'm happy.
Not always, I have one with an amd chipset that I can't get Linux on (last time I checked).
You have to open them up and remove a screw then install different firmware.
The dell Chromebook 11 I got from eBay for under £20 was easy to get it working on though.
Mine was really easy (dell chromebook 11), just followed the instructions and I had no problems. I have another chromebook with an amd chipset that I can't change the firmware on though (last time I checked), so if you're planning to buy one to convert make sure you actually can do it first.
I turned one into an Emacs machine, it was £20 and I fucking love it. It's built like a tank too. It's a dell Chromebook 11.
I only downvote hateful stuff or obvious bots and spam. The same as I do on anything with upvotes and downvotes.
I always end back up on leap when all the other distros piss me off, and I always wonder why I even bothered with anything else. It just works for me.
It is one of the best KDE distros, the yast config took is brilliant, the installer is great, it has fast servers in Europe (fedora installs and updates are way slower for me) and on top of all that it has a cool and instantly recognisable logo.
The only real nagative in my experience of opensuse is the long install times.
I am a pretty simple user though, I only really use Firefox and Emacs.
No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.
