I'm curious how you ended up on CentOS, especially for a desktop/laptop? That distro effectively died when IBM bought Red Hat, but even before that it was afaik mostly used for server deployments due to RHEL compatibility.

    You're on the money with compatibility. At work I have equipment with accompanied proprietary software designed to run on RHEL. All hosts on my network run it, about 60% desktop and the rest blades

    A bit niche. I wanted to be comfortable with the system both as a user and as an admin so I daily drive it. Not the best user experience, but I've learned how to work around most issues people encounter with it and it's helped a lot

    My preference outside of that would be really mixed. My spare time is dedicated to virtualization and containers so I'm mostly using a hypervisor like proxmox. As a desktop interface I'd probably choose something with gnome. Fedora is good, I've used it in the past and liked it
