If you want something in the RHEL family, Fedora. If you want something in the Debian family, Debian. Or Mint if you're okay with a little deviation for better OOTB.

    I love Fedora, but it’s way too chaotic and shit breaks all the time. Maybe break is the wrong word, but it’s too unstable for the type of users I’m talking about at least. I already explained my reasons for Debian. Mint could win me over, but I’m not quite there yet.

    Have you given LMDE a go? All the benefits of Mint, the stability of Debian, all without having to deal with snaps sneaking in.

    I have not! I’ll have to look into it. I appreciate the suggestion. I thought Mint also had snaps stripped out. I don’t exactly love snaps, but they can also be kind of nice from a user experience perspective. I’d prefer if Ubuntu used Flatpaks instead, but beggars can’t be choosers.

    Does Fedora not have a stable LTS type of thing?

    I haven't had any trouble with Debian. I just switched my own desktop from Windows about a week ago and I didn't find there was much that needed changing. If you feel there is, you could probably add it into the installer, or configure with something like ansible post-install.

    Nope. Red Hat is as close as you’ll get. Maybe CentOS Stream but I’ve never tried it. Debian is workable with some tweaking but at scale that becomes a little annoying. If Ubuntu ever broke a workflow with their changes, I would 100% offer Debian as an option.
