   Heh yeah. It's funny, for me, I hated Red Hat back then. I actually had   
   preferred Debian and actually more than that, I preferred SUSE. I think   
   ultimately what I'm going to end up with is either sticking hard on Fedora,   
   which I've actually liked since Fedora 18 and up, or with Xubuntu, which I hate   
   trying to maintain packages for, and do need to for a small few things   
   (SyncTERM for example)... It really depends. There's a few things I definitely   
   really must have, and that's reasonably up-to-date browsers, reasonably   
   up-to-date video driver support, moderate printer support (I currently have a   
   semi-modern HP printer which requires a minimum version of hpcups to use it,   
   which was not in Ubuntu 16.04), and some specific programs like zssh. Because,   
   I like my zmodem over ssh, which I miss with not having konsole from KDE.   
      
   Now, I'd mentioned SUSE, but not in current days. openSUSE has let me down way   
   too much in the later years. With a lot of their dirty little hacks, like their   
   "Druid" replacement for virt-manager's VM "Wizard", which they only fairly   
   recently finally removed after all these years. Their default setup for   
   open-files limit which breaks any modern browser today, and just.... their   
   reliance on btrfs for things like snapshots and the ability to roll back   
   changes, stuff that yum and dnf had had without filesystem level snapshots for   
   years.
