Looking for suggestions besides Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Debian, Arch Linux, or Kali. I have previous experience with XFCE, Ratpoison, Openbox, KDE Plasma. Recently started trying out LXQT.
Would be on a modest Dell Latitude with i5, 14" 1080p display with intel graphics, and maybe 16gb ram.
once you pass the 4 gig of ram mark, all of the distros become usable for you, so – in your shoes – i would decide what’s the most important things you need.
for me, it’s a distro that doesn’t require to me to upgrade beyond the using package/kernel updates and that’s something like debian where i can stick is a release for a really long time w/o having to reinstall when the next version is released.
most distros seem to a have a migration path, but it’s rare to find one that doesn’t have any hiccups.
I’ve been on kubuntu many years, with plenty more before that. So, open to trying something new. Otherwise, I’d not change anything.
yes, their LTS trims mimic the same behavior that debian has with their releases and that cachyos recommendation is probably as different as you can get without going into bsd. lol
