A poll the OP asked me to share, it asks "Which OS is using as your development environment?"

Yea but your the only one I will lower my standards enough to actually be friends with :)

@tacumi

@freemo @tacumi LOL, thank you. 😝

There is hope, I have tried Linux at various times, but am just much more productive on an environment where I have a good collection of tools ready.

It's hard to switch and feel like a newbie, have to look for all the essentials again.

But I have unallocated disk space in various of my laptops for that reason; can be added if desired.

Which version would be good for someone new (not Arch from what I hear. I think my son used it many years ago, and everything had to be compiled from source, that's too radical for me).

Mint?

@design_RG @freemo @tacumi

I think Fedora might work too! It's a bit harder than Mint or Ubuntu, but you get updates much faster!

@kosame Nice, thanks Kosako. Do you use it?

I do have a good case for o.s. replacement too in my HTPC. Vintage HP workstation, dual Xeon processors, just a powerhouse in its days.

That would need a less current version, but it should run well. Love vintage, quality hardware, and keep them all.

I miss gentoo, used to love that distro. The udates just broke one too many times for me.

Gentoo was popular many years ago, haven't heard about it more recently, but I don't follow closely.

I think my son's development work is all on Ubuntu, a Dell XPS 13 which is neat but too small a screen in my opinion.
