    Sit with the Linux guy. Then tell him one of the wolves thinks Arch is bloated. Then I get half the plane to myself.

    I like to fall asleep to boring audiobooks. The Linux guy would just be the live action version.

    I’m a canid furry and am trying to decide what distro to switch to when Win 10 caps out.

    This is a hard decision for me, but not the way the author intended.

      I love how no two of the replies to this comment suggested the same distro. (Okay, two people said Fedora, but no two of the others.)

      I’m going to exacerbate that problem by saying Pop!_OS.

      Also there’s no reason to believe the Linux user isn’t a canid furry also. Arch users are kinda famous for it.

      I’m not super techy; basic windows user type. I distro hopped for a while, and landed on fedora. Love it. Vanilla Gnome is awesome for me, and provides enough of a difference from Windows to feel fresh and fun, while being intuitive enough to figure out easily. The terminal is optional, but fun to use, and there are guides a plenty, though if you need to rely on guides for everything, Ubuntu based distros are going to have way more.

      If you have no/very little experience and want to switch as easily as possible I’d use Linux Mint, but if you want a bit more of a “power user distro” I’d suggest a distro from the fedora family (Fedora/Nobara/Fedora Atomic/Aurora/Bazzite) depending on what you want to do.

      Make it simple and just use fedora. Has lots of the same benefits as openSUSE, except openSUSE allows you to choose any and all the software that should be installed through a GUI installer. You should be fine, use flatpak for the freedom from distro specific application packages, and the ability to harden flatpak sandboxing through Flatseal or native support in system UI. For a Windows looking UI, I recommend KDE Plasma which is available for Fedora as the KDE Spin edition, or natively in the openSUSE installer.

    I sit next to the Linux guy. I can info dump better than he can, he’ll move himself into the wolf side of the aisle before we’ve even taken off.
