#distro

Wow, as if the #EU needed another reason to complicate things, they've gone and created a #Linux #distro for the public sector. 🙄 I guess "digital sovereignty" means reinventing the wheel with a shiny new logo slapped on it. 🚀🔧

I'm about to move to a laptop rather than my desktop, in the runup to a house move.

Today, I run #Debian #Stable (#bookworm) and the #XFCE desktop. That is all fine and dandy and fits my needs.

The question is whether to try something new. Be that underlying #distro or desktop.

I have tried many times to move away from #Debian. But the stability of stable is difficult to argue with. I have also tried many different desktops. Be that

Gnome, KDE, or Cinnamon.
All of these exhibit problem areas, for me at least.

With Gnome, the Files application is so limited that I end up installing #thunar from #XFCE. Plus, I have to add a handful of extensions to make things more readily useful to me.

With Cinnamon, it's largely okay except for the file browser again. Too slow.

KDE looks pretty, and some of the applets are cool. But stability suffers.

Should I stay with the tried and tested, or is there something out there that has all the features and stability of #Debian #Stable with #XFCE.

Does any of you know about this and also use it professionally and if so in what context and how? Honestly, I'm standing up a little.
