And just like that, my attempt at Linux on the desktop (take #4123), which was going to be Fedora, is back in flux. I don't want to start investing time into a learning project in major transition and an uncertain future.
Ironically, I'm looking again at OpenSUSE, which I had left back during the SuSE-> OpenSUSE period. (You can tell I'm OG because I'm one of the few that uses the correct capitalization! haha)
IMO Ubuntu has been the best bet for linux on the desktop since about 2006.
They occasionally do things people dislike, but it's always easy to pick a different flavour (Xubuntu and Ubuntu-mate are great examples IMO), and the underlying distro is reliable and stable.
I'm also a big fan of LTS releases, and supported upgrade paths between them.
