I decided on Kubuntu 22.04 KDE. What I looked at - KDE, XFCE, and GNOME desktops on Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian distros and spins. - jq, xmlstarlet, netpipes, mplayer, virtualbox, firefox, thunderbird, ibus-setup, vnc. They are representative of small, big, common, not so common

| From: William Park via talk | I have bad experience with UEFI. You can't just move the disk to a new | motherboard, and boot. Is that the only bad experience? UEFI firmware setup screens are not standardized. Generally, all you have to tell UEFI is the path of the .efi program to boot.

OK, I'll probably go with Fedora-36/KDE when it comes out. I usually don't partition my disks. I use the whole disk. Boot disk is the only one that has (one) partition in MBR. So, when Fedora talked about going UEFI exclusively, I looked elsewhere. Now, they are dropping that idea.

I too try to run as close as possible to what my customer runs in production. For a long time, that was Fedora, which is effectively an upstream for Centos. I'm waiting to see what happens in the centos switch to quasi-continuous. --dave On 4/27/22 09:02, Anthony de Boer via talk wrote: On
