If you were going to pave a box and put Linux on it, which distro would you choose? Try to answer NOT from a place of what you're most comfortable with.

I am leaning towards #Fedora because I work with containers and it's a very friendly and kind community. I am tempted by #archlinux after experiencing a constrained version on my #steamdeck.

Using #ubuntu on my work laptop and it just feels bleh. Nothing particularly wrong just nothing to inspire my use.

nostr:npub1sjsx0a77wgqpgvrsy4zf8pmn3zd2fp2ywu2rapdaam7sdaw9kf4qlwwyhu I’d try NixOS. I’ve used fleek on Ubuntu but interested to try a full Nix based system.

If your main use case is a hypervisor then you might consider Intel's Clear Linux. I kind of love it, although they have been neglecting the desktop environment in recent years and it is a real PITA if you have any graphics hw other than Intel. It is shockingly fast and the rolling release updates are great.
