From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linux is a family of open source Unix-like
operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first
released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in
a Linux distribution (or distro for short). Distributions include the Linux
kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided
by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name,
but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the
importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. ### Rules * Posts must be

Looking for some suggestions, preferably with existing tested compatibility with the Framework laptop hardware so I can do more well rounded research. I’m the most familiar with Ubuntu and CentOS. Picked Ubuntu initially for mid 2000s nostalgia purposes but it’s time to move on.
EDIT: As some people have pointed out, “more privacy oriented” was probably not the best phrase to use here. I am looking to move off of a Linux OS with corporate sponsorship and also looking forward to exploring Linux OSes that are privacy focused.
Yes, the 10th June.
I moved to Debian one year ago, and I would never go back to Ubuntu, specially with the new direction they take with a “snap oriented system”.
I trust the old deb packages format : less space, less memory, better integration. For all of this, Debian is almost perfect.
I also recently went to Debian from Fedora. It’s hard to explain but Debian feels like “original Linux” from back in the day. Maybe it’s the lack of corporate interference and dedication to software freedom.
Yeah I just put debian testing on my laptop just to try something new and it’s been great. I’ve been using arch for years but for my laptop I decided I didn’t want to go through the whole process of getting it set up the way I want it and it certainly accomplished that.
If you’re familiar with Ubuntu you could always try Debian.
Moved from Ubuntu to Debian on my main machine a few days ago.
Although it’s a bit of a hustle, so far I think it’s worth it, especially since Debian 12 came out fairly recently (I think it was June?)

Linux mint is a good one too
