Considering the recent incidents with the Red Hat Enterprises, I'm not sure if I should go with any of their distributions. Which would be a great OS for me, you guys think? @thelinuxEXP @linux@lemmy.ml @Linux@linuxrocks.online @linuxmagazine @linux_gaming
Really depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for simple "works out the box" distros, check out Pop_OS, Zorin OS, or other Debian based stuff. If you're a power user, maybe Arch Linux (or arch linux based stuff like Elementary OS) could fit the bill. There's also Nix OS.

Using Red Hat based stuff doesn't mean you're supporting them though. Fedora's still a good distro and I wouldn't move if I'm already comfortable in it imo.
Pop_OS is my favorite windows replacement
Well, what do you want? You don't look at Linux and go "out of all these 1000s of options what's a good one?" Instead, you should say, "I want my computer to work XYZ way," and that will decide the distro for you.
Do you want a start menu and a bar? Probably want Xfce or KDE. Do you want an app menu? Well there's GNOME. Do you care about defaults or do you want to customize? Think about what you want from an OS and how it should work and let that guide you to your distro.
Why'd you leave Linux Lite? What made you decide on Fedora? You could always go back to Linux Lite.
There's nothing gonna happen to Fedora because of RHEL locking down, and there's no reason for Fedora to be leave, so staying there is a valid option.
My question is, what does your DE have to do with your distro? Pick a distro that works on any DE

Okay, to add some perception to it, I want to use some new OS which is a bit different from the above two distros. That includes some Arch based and OpenSuse, but I would like to try other stuff as well. Ubuntu is something that I would avoid for the time being, but yeah, that's my situation right now on deciding a new distro.I recently switched to Endeavour OS, it's pretty easy to install as an Arch based distro. Honestly you could probably just install regular Arch too since the archinstall feature makes it pretty easy to set up in the command line
Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !linux@lemmy.ml, !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
NixOS is very different, it will make you stop wanting to hop
@iopq I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info😊

I think you should take a look at these:
openSUSE, Pop!_OS, Mint, Nobara, Endeavour, Arco, Arch
I'm a big Ubuntu fan and it's derivatives. PopOS is pretty snazzy, but it doesn't have grub which can be a little weird.
Currently I'm running KDE Neon. I used to be a hard core gnome guy, but I've been seduced by all the performance gains KDE has. I just customized it to look like gnome (it's infinitely customizable).
But if you want to stick to RPM land, check out OpenSUSE.
The other suggestion I'd have would be Manjaro which is arch based.
Linux Mint is pretty much my silver bullet for anyone asking for a distro with decent desktop experience.
