I switched over to Linux back in September 2024 after I found it was just genuinely faster than either Win10 or Win11 on my PC. PC is way too new for most of the older stuff and I develop a lot in modern .NET so I needed something fairly modern. It works quite well. Have distro hopped quite a bit mostly between Arch, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. Right now sitting on Fedora.

^So that is Fedora? I wonder how that would work on my aged systems? Might give that a try again as I did try out a few of the spins. Can you play any good games with it?
Sorry about all the questions. Glad to see you back here.

It is good to see you again as well!
Fedora KDE specifically is what I use. I prefer it because it keeps more up to date than other distros like Ubuntu / Debian. A good mix between bleeding edge of Arch and stability of Debian. In my testing though it is not anywhere near unstable. Fedora is good for older systems in my opinion. It doesn't use any specific architectural packages like CachyOS does.

I think you might like Q4OS with the Trinity desktop environment.

Thank you! Believe it or not, Q4OS gives me issues, at least the new versions do. The only versions that work well on my systems are Q4OS version 2.7 X64 and version 4.13 X64.r1 ... but they both are outdated now.
And, yes, Sunryze ... CachyOS does also give me trouble but wow is it pretty to look at but hell to use ... for me anyway on my age old machines.
