I’ve been running Fedora (atomic & workstation) on my main pc the last couple years.
This was originally to get wayland compatible nvidia drivers that I couldn’t run on my beloved Debian, but I have an AMD GPU now…
I’m tiring of the churn of a Fedora install now and thinking of #DistroHopping again.
I want a boring (positive) OS again… Debian on my other PC is still stable and reliable.
Give me your boring (laudatory) #Linux desktop recommendations.
Is NixOS boring (complimentary)?

If someone says “BTW arch” they have completely missed the point. I’ve run Arch. Arch is exciting (derogatory).

@amd@gts.amd.im Is Ubuntu perhaps too boring and too similar to Debian?

I made the boring choice and chose the boringest distro. A friendly reminder to keep your $HOME on a separate partition or even a separate drive so you don't have to feel stuck.
