XFCE is a nice fast desktop. I miss using it.

once I hit Mint I knew I was satisfied. been my daily driver on all PCs for years now. no fuss no muss just does what I want. don't feel the need to upgrade is versions either. if its supported till 2025, I'll do it then.

I'm on Debian but also with XFCE. Eventually you want to settle down with something stable that doesn't surprise you on every release. I would appreciate a real rolling release system though.

I used to love distro-hopping, but for the last couple of years I've been so satisfied with Arch that I haven't been trying anything else. This morning one of my PCs needed a new OS because of power issues. I was shopping around, tried NixOS since people have been talking about it lately. I even booted into Manjaro since it's basically Arch anyway. But then I finally installed plain old Arch and it's just what I want. 🤷 It's nice to find something I'm happy with, but I did enjoy...
