Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
WOW, it is june already!!
So, as usual, here's my hardly changing list!!:
1. Debian
2. KDE Neon
3. Arch (still haven't forgiven it for breaking Atheros firmware, but the Firefox breakage on Rosa is also unforgivable given how many times they've done that)
4. ROSA
5. Fedora (I've been playing with 30 on a VM)

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
I wasnt happy with Open Mandriva nor Mageia 7 so ROSA is still my top RPM distro. Netrunner and MX18 have become my only Debian based distros along with the two Ubuntu based ones, Mint and Zorin.

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
I do have a Mageia 7 VM at work. Haven't done much with it since creating it.
I agree on OpenMandriva, wasn't really impressed at all.
I personally have yet to find a Debian-based distro that can compete with Debian for my affection. Neptune is close, but they do some things IMO wrong so it's still not able to compete. Neon is nearly the perfect Ubuntu-based distro IMO.

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
To hear you talk about an Ubuntu based distro,
I havent touched Neon for quite awhile.

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
At this point I've grown to like Neon enough that I doubt it will fall from #2 unless they do something REALLY dumb. Arch and ROSA simply have too much work to do to catch it at this point.
BTW - Neon is 5.16.0 as of today...

Netrunner I think is using 5.15.5 I believe but Im happy with it.

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
5.15.5 was the prior release to 5.16.0
Supposed to be 5.16.0 has a TON of HUGE updates. I haven't used it sufficiently to really notice yet.

Re: Top 5 Linux distros June 2019
Thats the same with me as most of the time I never really see much difference between versions. I have to say that Im enjoying Zorin far more than I did Mint Cinnamon.

I actually just deleted my Mint Cinnamon VM at work today...
