I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

I've used Debian Stable some years ago at University on "my" office PC. For a work PC it was the perfect distribution. The "stable" in the name is well deserved. It's so stable, it's a bit boring, to be honest. However, that's just what one needs at work. The PC has to run (a crash equals lost work), and maintenance burden needs to be low.

Isn't it kind of strange that a lot of us equal stable with boring? I know I do at times as well.

There's something satisfying with stuff breaking and managing to fix them I suppose
