I have Ubuntu on this box. Why? It wasn't my first choice but for whatever 
reason I had problems during the installation of my first choices and had 
a Ubuntu iso handy. The installation went smoothly on a UEFI system.

I'm still not a GNOME fan and version upgrades usually have small snags 
but not enough that I'd bother to put another distro on.

As I've said before, the workload on my Ubuntu, Fedora, Lubuntu, Debian,  
Raspberry Pi OS, and Windows 11 boxes is about the same. Snap, flatpak, 
deb, rpm, it doesn't make any difference to me. 

I doubt they can make it stick but the r/Fedora moderators are trying to 
institute a policy that screenshots can only be posted on Saturdays. 
That's a little to liberal for me. Who gives a shit what somebody's 
desktop looks like?
