   A couple of the programmers at work used Ubuntu. The upgrade to the Unity   
   release was a definite WTF?  One switched to CentOS until RH screwed that   
   up.   
      
   Not only do distros get chosen by chance but some distros manage to   
   alienate their users and cause a switch. The original Red Hat Linux pissed   
   me off in 2000 with their antics and it took me 25 years to give Fedora a   
   shot. OpenSUSE didn't exactly alienate me but going from 13.2 to Leap was   
   problematic for many people so I rode 13.2 into the ground. I do have   
   OpenSUSE on the Ventoy stick just in case but the Endeavour/Arch install   
   has been doing well.
