   @adiz @gray @thegreatape who the fuck calls debian painful to spin up? it's literally a one line command, debootstrap /dev/sdc1

     @gray@ryona.agency Debian 12 installation is so much less painful than Debian used to be. It's not difficult at all to spin up. I'd personally shy away from Testing and just pull specific packages from back-ports as need be.
     
     @thegreatape@thechimp.zone openSUSE was my first real foray into Linux, so I have the exact same feeling you do with Debian where "I always fall back to [it]". It's also just got so many QoL features like YaST and especially Snapper.

     @thegreatape @adiz Debian has always been the most comfy for me. I was thinking of looking into trying out Testing on my Thinkpad.

     @adiz Debian is what I cut my teeth on learning linux. That and ubuntu, so every time I think of what I could be using I always fall back to that. Debian has to be the most comfy distro that exists. I haven't actually tried opensuse, I've heard pretty much only good things about it.

     @thegreatape@thechimp.zone Debian is nice. I like Debian. I've had a lot of comfy experiences on Debian, and Debian is still on my X230. But, I just really love openSUSE.

     I've been using nixos for a year now and I'm finally considering going back to debian, and just using different ways to manage configuration and installed programs. Basically just moving to an ansible and gnu stow workflow instead.
     
     I'm just getting a tad over using "Linux - but different" when I could be improving my standard linux knowledge even more. Every few months I realize how little I knew, and learning on nixos is not the way to go.
     
     I'll probably keep it around for some specific use cases I love it for, mostly set it and forget it servers. But I'm beginning to think using the most hipster OS possible may not be the best idea in the long run.
