Opensuse has really made some huge strides over the last few years too. Takes some time to get used to the differences, but overall I really like what they’re doing. Tumbleweed has been great on my workstations as well.
I went from Arch to Fedora, but moved to Tumbleweed because I really like the rolling release model. I recently moved my laptop from Tumbleweed to Aeon and have been really happy with that, too. I’m keeping my workstation on Tumbleweed since I game and code and generally just like fiddling with it, but I like the idea of an immutable stable base for my laptop since it just needs to work.
Not that i saw this exact thing coming but I do notice the recent changes many big companies make and i feel a lot more comfortable with staying on a community moderated platform even if it means making my life slightly more inconvenient.
Using neovim, hosting on Codeberg and so on just makes me feel a lot more comfortable.
Maybe stay within the Enterprise Linux camp for a bit. Not to start a flame war, but when an OS company was deciding between EL and Debians, the RPM format was the deciding factor.
After 20+ years of working primarily with Debian, I was giving Alma a shot recently and honestly, have really liked it. Guess I’ll be going back to the ole’ tried and true Debian.
It seems like Red Hat want everyone to move over to Debian and OpenSuse

Big fan of what openSuse is doing.
I was actually about to do that (move to Debian).

Red Hat has been bought by IBM, and IBM wants to bully people into using their licensed products by eliminating downstream distros
