Really?  Of the four computers currently hooked to the KVM switch, one is 
Ubuntu, one is Fedora, one is the Debian based Raspberry Pi OS running an 
an ARM processor, and one is a Windows 11 laptop with Kali WSL. Not 
connected to the switch are the Lubuntu netbook and the Q4OS eeePC. My 
Linux box at work is Debian.

Except for the Q4OS which is somewhat limited, they all are provisioned 
very similarly. The Fedora box had been an older SuSE distro but I wanted 
to see what Red Hat was up to. They'd pissed me off around 2009 with the 
gcc 2.96 debacle. Fedora does get more updates than the other distros but 
so far it hasn't broken too much.

Note those are all bare metal installs except for WSL. I'm not very fond 
of VMs.
