I'm just sitting here running Debian, watching distros come and go.

In twenty years, I'll just be sitting here running Debian, watching distros come and go.

(Twenty years ago, I was actually running Debian, watching distros come and go, although I had a dalliance with Gentoo, don't tell Deb or Ian.)

> In twenty years, I'll just be sitting here running Debian, watching distros come and go.

That's pretty much what you see in the chart in the article. Debian share remains untouched over time. Not affected by trends.

I was like you. Now I am on the immutable train. I really do think that is the future. I was on opensuse from 10.0, but and recently ended up on aeon which I find probably the most excitingly boring distro I have ever used apart from Debian.

I am not looking elsewhere since I realized can't stand gnome, but the idea of aeon is probably the most solid I have ever used, at least for desktop use.

I haven't really decided where to go now except for away from gnome, but Bazzite looks promising, and maybe the new KDE Linux ("project banana") in some time.

I feel like that just means you run very old software. If that's fine with you then that's a good solution. But I rather actually get software updates in a reasonable time.

Debian is not just Debian stable. There is testing and unstable that have much more recent packages. And even on stable you can get by with Flatpak for a lot of things.

I like Arch-based distros that make setting it up a bit less of a chore, so on my most recent setup I gave CachyOS a try.

It wasn't for me. Too many pre-written config files that make tools work quite differently from their default state. It had a bit of a "script-kiddy" feel to it IMO.

I'll go with EndeavourOS again next time - that one strikes a good balance between not making you work too hard for a running system and preconfiguring everything in a way you might not agree with.

> I don’t remember any other distro out there making so many DE available with such a nice and easy to understand UI.

I do remember many attempts since Mandrake came to be, and many others that I lost track of.
